Tita Mia's Filipino Restaurant & Cafe

Super GemNiles (suburb) · Filipino Community-sourced, unverified
📍 8520 W Golf Rd, Niles, IL 60714

Tita Mia's runs the full range of Filipino comfort food out on Golf Road in Niles, from real breakfast combos in the morning through a dinner menu stacked with adobo chicken, Korean-style wings, barbecue chicken, tinola, and fried chicken — enough variety that a family with a picky eater can usually find something that lands.

$
A full, ambitious halo-halo build — coconut gel, macapuno, nata de coco, both vanilla and ube ice cream, red beans, and mochi — is the dish to order, from a Niles Filipino spot that also wins over kids with its fried chicken.

That fried chicken specifically won over at least one visiting family's kid completely, strong enough that they came back for dinner after a lunch visit just to have more of it. The halo-halo is the dish to know about, and it's the full traditional build, not a shortcut version: coconut gel, white and black beans, mixed-nut powder, macapuno, corn, nata de coco, milk, and shaved ice, topped with both vanilla and ube ice cream plus red beans and mochi.

That's a genuinely ambitious version of a dessert that a lot of places simplify down to three or four toppings — worth ordering specifically rather than assuming any halo-halo is the same as any other.
