My wife and I decided to try this restaurant after seeing a commercial several times. The place was low key but the food was very delicious. My wife had chilies rellenos and I had ranchero tacos. Both plates had very good portion size and the food was very hot. We had never had food come to the table as hot as this. We highly recommend Candilejas and know that no-one will be disappointed.

A small, intimate interior. You feel like you re sitting down at a friends kitchen table! The service was fantastic, our waitress was so kind and conversational, everything our group tried was very good. I ve been searching for a Mexican restaurant with at the very least good salsa here in Midland, and this checked that box and beyond. The whole restaurant is cooked for by a single chef, he s obviously very skilled at what he does. A diamond in the rough! Give them a try!

Great food and portions at a great price, but the people that work here are the best. They take the time to explain the menu, etc. Don t let the location discourage you in that it sits off by itself. Super clean. They also have entertainment and karaoke on Friday nights.

I dont usually leaves reviews. Buy this place absolutely deserves one. The beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas were some of the best Ive ever had. Every thing was tender and perfectly cooked. The corn tortillas were lackluster. Buy still didnt take away from the dining experience. Hands-down I will definitely be back! The sweet Waitress was so very nice. Thank you for a great dinner!!

Wonderful experience! Food was good, but the ambiance was phenomenal! We stumbled upon it waiting for our daughter at a school function. Turns out, Friday night is Karaoke night! Only one man sang while we were there, but we had to leave before they got busy. He did a great job! The chicken fajita meat was delicious. I wasn t a fan of the guacamole. I like to taste the avocado. Too much cilantro and onion. Cheese enchilada was delicious and my hubby loved the tacos rancheros.

The server was amaizing, super sweet and patient. The food was served quick. The ambient made me feel like I was in someones house, warm and nostalgic. I loved it there. I ordered for takeout: the tilapia with rice, beans and salada, + a dessert that had apple cream, cheesecake cream and came with ice cream, + a huge lemonade. The price was reasonable. The taste of the main plate made me feel like I was eating at my granmas; delicious ( it wasnt a strong flavour, so it might depend on personal taste). It was not spicy, but they can serve w/ spicy sauce. 10/10

Lady serving me was nice. Got a combination plate. The taco was supposed to be ground beef but instead had some kind of brisket or something. I made the mistake of not specifying Green chicken enchiladas and instead got red but wasnt asked if green or red either. My mistake for assuming. Salsa was sub par

I wasn t a fan of the salsa but that was the ONLY thing I can say negative. The food was great and fresh and the little older lady serving was an angel. We were the only ones there then people trickled in, mostly older couples. I would definitely recommend and will be back.

Best Mexican food I have had so far in Texas. My husband and I have been in Texas a couple of weeks now for his job. We are on a mission to try as many Tex-Mex/ Mexican places we can while here. We were in Midland around lunch and tried this place. It was so good and fresh. The food was freshly made and the flautas that my husband got were the best we have had (I had to try them of course!). Their guac was also excellent. We got our food to go, but the staff was very friendly. We are going to make it a point to go back before we leave this area.

Service was great and friendly. The food lacked flavor and was very bland. I got the chicken and steak fajitas. I know its not a real Mexican dish but I wanted to try something different.

Flavors were ok, but I wouldnt call it authentic Mexican. First, the positives. Customer service is fantastic and their tamales are crave-worthy, especially with the queso sauce on top. Kids enjoyed their meals. Now for the not-so-positives. There are no prices on the menu, so you have no idea how much youre going to pay until youre up at the register. I was shocked at the price for 4 people plus a dozen tamales. The enchilada sauce tastes like its straight from the can. They use ground beef in the tacos and (soggy) chile rellenos (not authentic Mexican - thats Tex-Mex) and its not very well-seasoned. Im from AZ, and authentic Mexican means something totally different to me. Honestly, I wouldnt even have bothered to leave a review except the price was so shockingly high. I can only think that they charged me menu price (there was none) for the tamales and have higher food prices than expected, but I guess thats my fault for not confirming the prices beforehand. Lesson learned. We wont be back.

The chips were light and fresh. The salsa was fresh and delicious. The queso was made fresh and delicious. The beans and rice, delicious. The tamales tasted like they had just been rolled and steamed. The taco is a fresh corn tortilla, filled from the bottom to the top with ground beef that is devine, then fried to perfection. The red enchilada sauce was perfect. The beef Chile rellano was... You guessed it delicious. The wifes steak tacos were pilled with perfectly seasoned, tender meat and the fresh corn tortillas were unimaginably tender and tasty. If you dont stop reading this right now and go here to eat youre a fool. If you didnt notice how many times I said fresh and delicious let me sum this place up for in three world. Fresh and delicious. To top it all off our bill was only 25 bucks for so much food I could barely finish. Why are you still reading, you should be driving to go eat here.

I tried this place while traveling to Midland for Business. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff very friendly. Since I have a gluten intolerance, I had to ask the staff questions about the fryer used for the chips, if any flour was used in the sauces, etc. The lady who served me was very nice and accommodating. I had the enchilada plate with cheese enchiladas and Verde sauce. It couldnt have been better!
