    Service and food very authentically Mexician. We had the huevos con chorizo and empanadas potosinas- no spice to them but add spicy red table sauce. The atole de guava is Yummy for my tummy especially on this cold rainy day.

    Huevos divorciados are a must here! Stop and try this hidden gem in La Villita! They also have stole de guayaba and it was delicious.

    Vi un TickTock donde recomendaban este lugar y sus huevos divorciados. En una visita que hice a Chicago tuve que visitar este lugar. Los huevos estaban muy buenos, y los sirven muy bien. Ademas pedi un chocolate caliente que me cayo super bien porque esta muy frio el clima. Los candiles es un buen lugar para cuando visiten Chicago.

    This place is phenomenal! It's family owned, opened in 1995 and the talk of the neighborhood. It's unsuspecting if you walk by but as you walk in, it immediately feels cozy. I'm vegetarian and they were super accommodating. We had the: - Atole de teja: a warm sunflower seed based drink. Super yummy, definitely recommend - Divorced Eggs: definitely get this. They're known for this. The chilaquiles were one of the best I've had. - enchiladas Potosinas: these were cheese filled empanadas, they were good but not as good as everything else on the menu.

    This place taste like eating in your grandmas house. It is so authentic and feels like home. I was originally going to cathedral but it was an hour wait and I was hangry. Decided to try this place out that's less than 10 minutes away. I had the enchiladas. I am always hesitant to eat enchiladas at restaurants because they usually are bad. I tried half papa and half chicken. They were both really good. Our waitress was very kind with suggestions. My mom didn't care too much for the special. The down side is that parking is limited. They have a small parking lot in the alley but most is taken by employees. They have street parking. On my way to my car I was able to stop by and purchase the best tamales and pumpkin with a vendor from the street.

    BEST MEXICAN FOOD!! We are from Texas but our Chicago family has been coming here for years. We came to visit Chicago so we stopped to try Los Candiles. Immediately we were given a warm welcome and felt like family. The atmosphere is colorful, cozy, and friendly. The food is authentic and delicious!! Something for everyone! From the freshly squeezed OJ to the warm tortillas. Finally, our wonderful server, Giovanna, was AMAZING!! Very kind, personable and accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    Fantastic food at great prices! Great customer service.. Parking can be challenging since there's a church right down the street... However there is a small parking lot.

    This is probably my favorite Mexican breakfast restaurant. I have been coming the last twenty years and always have the same dish, huevos divorciados. The breakfast comes with homemade tortillas. There is nothing unusual with their dishes. What set this restaurant apart from others, it tastes like homemade.
