This was my second time visiting this restaurant. So my son and I sat down for table service and waited for someone to come and take our order. There were only two servers, one taking the take out orders and the other tending to table service. One waitress had taken the orders and served some customers who were there before us which was okay. I presumed that we would be next but then she gets lost behind the counter in conversation. People are walking in off the street and getting served faster than me. By now, I'm hungry and becoming frustrated and decided that if I wasn't served in five more minutes that we were going to walk out. I had to literally stand up to acknowledge that we were still WAITING for someone to finally take my order. The food was pretty good, the rice and beans could have been a little hotter. My son ordered rotisierre chicken which was seasoned really good. When it was time for me to get my check,that process took a long time too. This review will not stop me from coming here again but service needs to be a bit better.
I have been eating at this place since I was kid. It is a little Spanish place and one of the only ones left in Coney Island. The only other one I knew in the area closed a while back! They renovated the place after super-storm sandy so it looks nice inside. DECENT. I get the "usual" when I go there so I can only review the food I usually get. There rice and beans are like my grandma used to make it and so are there maduros and tostones! There CARNE GUISADA is really good, but not the best I have had. The beef is a little rough but for the price you cant expect something spectacular! There Flan is fluffy and sweet definitely get it anytime they have it! So in conclusion, if you are looking for some food to make you feel warm inside and get away from the fanatics of all the famous restaurants in Coney Island stop at Mi Candileja! Its not fancy, very casual so you really need to enjoy latin food and not so much care about atmosphere! Salsa and merengue playing in the back you cant go wrong!
