    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.

    Always a pleasure coming here, this place is a gem. We come here once in a while and it had been a…read morecouple of months but this hit the spot. We were craving some shrimp boil and wings and decided to stop here for dinner. Our server was kind and went above and beyond. We ordered a pound of shrimp and bundled it with the corn, potato and sausage. We got it with the grabby sauce and it was super delicious. We all had the lemon pepper wings extra crispy, my husband had the loaded clam chowder not pictured it was too good. We also had rice, French baguettes to dip and kids Mac and cheese. Can't wait to come back again it was excellent and definitely worth the drive from lancaster.

Called the lady waiter…read moreto follow up then gave us glasses and served the beer and made an excuse that she was cleaning a clean glass. Followed up again and called the manager found out that the waiter fORGOT our order after 40 MInS!!!!!!!!!Not even sincerly apologized and asked us to leave! Don't come here they are discriminating disrespectful people and manager is not even sincere! We left with an empty tummy and disappointed! I want to warn Everyone don't Come to this place! SAVE YOUR SELVES from having A bad experience and wasting your time, worst is not being served and left with an empty tummy and a hell of a bad experience! These workers are ARROGANT. They have bunch of new inexperienced employees! Manager and employee are just chillin at the back and Did not take us seriously And just made us leave! I will report this to the BBB and have this business shut down!

    We've been to Rosarito Fish Market in San Fernando before, and on our first visit it was really…read moregood. It was so busy back then that there were no tables available. Because of that great experience, we decided to go back after a long time, this time on a Sunday. When we walked in, we immediately noticed a big difference . There were a lot of empty tables. We ordered shrimp cocktails (cócteles de camarón) and sat down. Unfortunately, this time the food was not good at all. The juice in the shrimp cocktail was extremely salty,so salty that I couldn't eat it. I went back to the counter and explained the issue. The girl helping us was very nice and explained that they cure the shrimp with salt since it's not cooked. She offered to remake it, which they did, and I appreciated the effort. However, even the remake just didn't taste good to me. I like my seafood to taste fresh, with a natural seafood flavor not overly salty or loaded with condiments. This experience made me wonder if something has changed at the restaurant, especially since it was so empty compared to our first visit. The staff was friendly and did try to make it right, which I appreciate, but overall this visit was disappointing. Since it's also out of our way and we only stopped because we happened to be in the area, I don't think we'll be coming back. It's unfortunate because our first experience was so much better. The ambiance was pleasant. They had a couple of TVs playing football, music in the background, and the place was clean but the food just didn't live up to our previous experience.
