Candilejas Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Burbank, California

I ordered a burrito to go and probably the worst tasting burrito I've ever gotten. The meat that they use is harder than a rubber and very unprofessionally put together. This will be the first and last time for me. read more

The service is good. They're hot ass Mexicans. But their food is garbage. They put pickled jalapeños in my torta because I said spicy. And the salsa for the chips has no flavor. It's just spicy water tomato. But the girl who does the clean up looks like a model. Will never come back for the food. It's just nasty and it was empty when I came in. Only the employees were eating. read more

Had the machaca & eggs with rice and beans, nothing to write home about. Service was good, place was clean. Michelada was decent

Living in SFV there are a lot of good mexican food. It will be hard to compete if you're not going to make extra effort in making your food stand out. This was the case when we ate here. It felt like they have already given up. There were insects or mosquitoes biting the whole time I was there. The threes stars was for the service. She deserves the three stars. Too bad I forgot to ask for our server's name. read more

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! read more

We really liked it! Food was well priced, and very fresh. Nice atmosphere, lots of happy people. We will definitely be back!

Incredible authentic spot. I've driven past this place endless times and had a craving for ceviche so spontaneously dropped by and wish I would've done so long ago. Hidden gem. I had the ceviche de pescado and ceviche cantilejas. 10/10 food and service. Thank you. read more

Campechana had no flavor Good service Good ambiance The chips and salsa was the only thing good Way too overpriced for what they put out Go to Boyle heights Get a way better bigger cocktail with 3 oysters for only 18 bucks read more

The food was authentic and the service great. We needed a good local experience at our last night in town and got it!

Great Mexican food. Very low key. Service is quick and food tastes fresh. I recommend their seafood/shrimp.

Wonderful restaurant waitress attention was 10 of 10 so respectful and fast had a great night Lorena take was awesome to guess air family

This is a little hole in the wall place, the servers and staff speak very little English, but the food is superb! It's really great, authentic Mexican cuisine, for super reasonable prices! Plus, they have a full bar! read more

Pretty authentic Mexican home cooking. I took some Australian friends there and they enjoyed it very much. We were the only grinogs in the place, and that's always a good sign. Latinos don't put up with bad Mexican food or poor service. Great food, some good chips and salsa, decent portions. Ice cold beers, too! read more

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. read more

I am excited to return and try their Molcajete! We received incredible service and had an excellent meal. As a group of five, we tried two salsas, refried beans, and guacamole, all of which were delicious, especially the beans. The mixed fajitas were cooked and seasoned well, the steak being my favorite. Our group also tried a chicken chimichanga and enchiladas. The red sauce was reported as enjoyably mild and subtle. The food was picturesque and I wish I had taken the time for some photographs. The portions are large but appropriate for the price. The interior was simple and clean. read more

This was a pleasant surprise on a recent trip to Burbank after a day at Universal Studios. It's a quaint, cozy place. The food was amazing. I had steak fajitas - everything was delicious from the chips to the salsa to tortillas and guacamole. Even the beans and rice were good by themselves - a real testament to quality Mexican food. read more

You know those days when you're starving and just savoring the food already...but you get home and realize they completely messed up your order....well that's what happened to me. I ordered a SIMPLE side of beans with cheese that I had been craving ALLLL day..and I get beans with rice. And the cherry on top was...they gave me a small bag of chips as if the 10 chips in the bag was going to be enough for 2 plates of ceviche. They were never stingy like this...you guys can do better. Unfortunately, you guys lost a customer of 10+ years. read more

Comida excelente, riquísima. Brenda tiene un excelente servicio. Vengo por lo menos cada dos semanas y siempre me hace el día. Mil gracias, Brenda. read more

Fresh tortilla chips and salsa provided while you wait for your order - the salsa had a nice kick to it and the chips were seasoned nice and lightly. Our server was attentive and our plates came out quickly. The carne was tender and browned to give it a nice bite around the edges, and the provided lime was key to brighten and enhance all the savory flavors read more

Candilejas Restaurant - Carne asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Burbank, California

Food was good. I ordered the chili verde burrito and it was tasty. They have an assortment of seafood items as well. Prices have gone up substantially since the last menu was printed. Primarily Spanish spoken but broken English works. A mom and pop operation with a jukebox and tv entertainment. read more

Make sure to reserve a lot of time prior to coming here. The service is slooooooooow. At least that was my first and only experience when I went there for lunch. There were two waitresses and one cook. However the restaurant was not busy at all. I got there late to meet my co workers. I told them my order (Chicken Enchilada). I remember it was past 20 mins by the time I got my order. I politely asked them to place my order in a to-go box. The checkout process was just as painful. It is always so complicated when you're there with a group of people. But we all had to take our turns paying for our food one by one, which took another 20 mins. By the time I got back to work to eat my lunch, I thought it was just a-okay. Be careful when pulling into park or pulling out to leave, their lot is located right off of a busy highway. read more

This place has arguably the best shrimp ceviche in the area. I love that they cut up the shrimp into small, almost shredded pieces. Great flavor and spice! read more
