    Great food and service! I had chilaquiles for lunch today at Candilejas Restaurant. It was good and tasty!

    Delicious Mexican food, the taquitos, chorizo, ceviche and micheladas are awesome Service is super friendly and quick! Parking on the street.

    What a great find! Not too far from the Burbank Airport! My family stopped by last Sunday morning and now we are going to make it a weekend tradition! This restaurant is conveniently located in Burbank and has lots of easy parking. We were immediately greeted by a beautiful young lady who sat us right away. As we were deciding on what to order she brought us chips, delicious salsa and waters, she was so attentive our entire visit, I was very impressed. The prices were so reasonable we were all able to order our own plates! My garlic shrimp plate was so flavorful I even ate the shells, the steak was cooked to perfection, the chicken torta was so big and filling the kids loved it. The quesadilla was filled with carne asada and cheese perfect for dipping in the guacamole & sour cream. I also asked for a few other dishes on the side which were all so appetizing. I felt so comfortable I stood and enjoyed the nice and cool ambiance probably longer than I should have. The menu is full with lots of great choices! I'm looking forward to trying everything! They even had a beer and margarita bar! Great food, service and value, thank you Candilejas Restaurant! My new favorite Mexican and Mariscos Restaurant!

    The food is amazing! I haven't tried everything on the menu, but it's my plan. Micheladas are fire - I can't drink just one! The molcajete is big enough to share with 2-3 people depending on your appetite. It's super savory, lots of meats, lots of juice, loads of flavor. The ceviche and aguachiles are also shareable( and tastes amazing with their chips. I can't decide which is my favorite. All I can say, I have yet to be disappointed by their food.

    Gorgeous place, they gave us prime seating right in front of the fountain on my date night. Our…read morewaiter was super attentive and quick to get us what we needed. Chips were warm and hot out of the fryer. Salsa is on hot side, not mild. Both free refill and we had to stop ourselves after refill because we haven't gotten to the food yet. Ok for the food - Meatballs in soup had lots of cumin, I liked it but if you hate cumin then skip it. - Strong margarita drink that my gf got drunk off of one lol they sure load it up - Zarapes, one chicken one beef. beef was really good. - Lobster Enchiladas: ok i have a lot to say about this one, it was different, but not in a bad way. The garlic rice and black bean side was really yummy, better than the sides on the zarapes. I ordered it because i needed something different and yes it was. Now there is one problem with this dish and its that they don't use real lobster, its a imitation crab/lobster meat like product shaped differently and made from fish and nowhere on the menu says that which is not ethical business practice. That said it didn't taste bad but its not real. Overall I would comeback, overall the food was good but not groundbreaking. The Mixed alcohol drinks is definitely get your moneys worth and is better than the other place across the street. Steak is good for the fajita like dishes, Seafood dish tastes good but not real lobster chunks, i would probably try the regular fish next time.

    Service was exactly what you want when you go out to eat, super friendly and attentive, but never…read moreover the top or in your face. They checked in at the right times and made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. Food-wise... wow!! I had the carne asada plate with a chicken enchilada, and also tried the lobster enchiladas plate. The carne asada was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the chicken enchilada tied it all together. But the lobster enchiladas honestly surprised me--in the best way. Really rich, well-balanced, and just different from what you usually find. You can tell they put care into the food here. Safe to say, this is officially my new go-to spot in Burbank. Already looking forward to coming back.

Prices are more than reasonable compared to other Mexican spots in Burbank. We came for Menudo on a Saturday. It came with all the toppings on the side. I ordered 2 tacos, beef and chicken. They were amazing. I like that they use chicken breast. If you like Mole, they serve up 4 different types. I am putting their mole on my rader for next time. They even have a mole trio for $10 to sample 3 at once. Their menu is small but mighty. Be sure to order chips and salsa. If feeling fancy get the quac. I cant wait to go back. If you are lucky you may see a star with it being so close to the studios. Be sure to talk to the owmer he is a great story teller. Parking lot is small.

But unfortunately, they were really unfriendly & understaffed and the waiter/bartender was extremely bothered we were there and seemed very overwhelmed. I don't know who Celia is but maybe get more staff in the kitchen and a hostess and more waitress/waiters. We went in Saturday Valentines night dinner right before 6pm and found parking to be easy and should have taken that as a sign but figured we get better service. NOPE! The parking not is just really small and the people sitting had ordered and committed to staying I guess. Keep reading and you'll get my drift! Honestly, We assumed it would be a great night romantic dinner. Then, we walked in and felt so neglected. No hostess to greet or seat you. The bus man or waiter said wait here and cleaned a table when 3 were available. It looks like the three employees were doing everything and at the same time doing nothing! It was comical at first. He sat us finally and then we ordered. Appetizers and a Molcajete and two nonalcoholic drinks. By now 32mins passed. No chips & salsa. No nothing... we should have just left. But we were lazy to leave elsewhere with no reservations on Valentine day. He brought me a drink from the bar like if I ordered it, I hate to say he might have memory issues. Then he noticed we still don't have our drinks and he had to ask again what I ordered. Now 50mins passed and at another 15 mins the main course came before the appetizers were served so I cancelled it. It just seems like they didn't care for anyone else but the people at the bar. Ppl were just walking in and ended up leaving or seating themselves. Majority left and they didn't even notice! Not welcoming at all and as for the food. I feel like everything was previously frozen as the chicken and meat was very chewy-leather like. The cheese was cold. And just grateful that we didn't get sick because it wasn't cooked all the way. When I go into a restaurant, I expect good service and quality food. I unfortunately won't be returning. Such a shame because this place has western character straight out of a saloon and can't speak for the drinks as we didn't even eat our entire meal and wanted to get the hell out. Do better because this could be a cute hangout spot!
