    Civiche
    Jon N.

    Have been a number of times since their opening, and always enjoy the food. Excellent Molé, delicious tacos, tasty soup, fresh Civiche... They do a Taco Tuesday, all-you-can-eat, whixh is a great value! The last couple of times, there has been some good live music and a cool, neighborhood vibe. Service is always very good to excellent! They really don't get as much love as deserved, and I do hope with the new homes going into the old Pickwick space that business improves.

    Tacos Olivdados de Pulpos and a Modelo Negra con limón!

    I LOVE CELIAS!!! The food is always a total 11 out of 10 and the waiters/bartenders are so sweet and accommodating when I have special requests on menu items! They even have live music sometimes and just started karaoke which was so fun last week! I highly recommend!!!!

    1000% better than the last time I was there. Live music, better pricing, friendly service and we could get a seat. Nice work on making it suit the market better.

    chicken taquito appetizer
    Hosanna F.

    In a quaint part of Burbank off Riverside Dr. next to the equestrian center is where you'll find Celia's; a cute and ornately decorated Mexican restaurant. I have to admit that when I first tried Celia's a year ago I was not a fan and that was because when I received my food it was not what I was expecting. The rice and beans were not your traditional refried pinto beans and Spanish rice. That doesn't mean it tasted bad it just wasn't what I was expecting or wanted in that moment. BUT HEAR ME OUT! I recently came back as some friends wanted to try it since the ownership change and my view completely changed. I am actually now obsessed with Celia's and it is one of my new favorite Mexican restaurants around town. I decided to order the chicken fajitas that night and was actually blown away by how tender and flavorful they were. The fajitas also had potatoes in them which was a pleasant surprise because I love potatoes and have never seen them in fajitas. Since my initial visit a year ago, my palette has changed a lot and the refried black beans and cilantro rice were also just as tasty. I believe this is Yucatan style which is something I didn't know at the time but also to keep in mind of what to expect when you visit Celia's which I don't think is too common around here but still delicious nonetheless. As far as my friends, they had ordered the chicken taquito appetizer and flautas de papa. They both enjoyed their food as well! After this new discovery with my friends, I decided to bring my parents back and they absolutely loved the mole here. Both of them ordered the enmoladas and completely demolished their plates. They had been here once on my initial encounter and loved it then and still love it now. I decided to order the chicken taquitos as my meal with a side of rice and beans and it was the perfect amount if you're trying to eat a little lighter. In regards to the restaurant itself, I was honestly surprised with how quiet it has been each time - it's not ever busy and that worries me about business because I want Celia's to be around for a long time! The food is great, staff is great - they always bring out my food fast and efficiently and check in on you as well. If there are any problems with this place, it's really just how tiny the parking lot is. There was a massive truck one of the times I visited that made it really difficult to exit, so beware on that. Otherwise I recommend giving Celia's a visit!

    This is little hidden gem! The ambiance is so cute, and so Mexican. The food is delicious. Everything we got was perfection! Service was awesome too! 10/10

    Churros and ice cream
    Lorena T.

    My companion and I had the swai white fish lunch. Generous portions of the fish, fries, and salad. I took the rice and tortillas home bc there was so much food. Free homemade tortilla chips and salsa (too spicy for us, but it was good). For dessert, we shared the churros and vanilla ice cream. Everything was delicious! Great service, nice decor of horses, paintings, saddles made into mirrors, wheels made into chandeliers, sombreros, etc. There's a front patio and an AYCE room in the back room. We opted to sit in the main room. Place is bigger than it looks from the outside. Small parking lot in front. Restaurant is located in front of the LA Equestrian Center. I'd be back!

    The bar

    A friend and I had tickets to an event at the Burbank equestrian center. Near the entrance of the center, there is a Mexican restaurant that replaced the old Viva eatery that had been there for decades. Viva had always been a place for good drinks and adequate food. We decided to eat an early dinner at Celia's before the event because we could park at the equestrian center and walk to the restaurant. Because it was early, the place had only a few customers in it. We were promptly seated and ordered drinks and guacamole with chips for an appetizer. It was delicious. We then ordered what we thought would be a light dinner of a couple à la carte items. I ordered a Oaxaca enchilada filled with Oaxacan cheese covered in bean sauce, along with a grilled shrimp taco. My friend ordered the same taco and a chile relleno. When our food came, the portions were beautiful and generous. My enchilada was absolutely delicious, and the taco was packed full of shrimp. My friend let me taste her relleno, and it melted in my mouth. The menu offers a variety of items. It did not resemble the typical combo plates usually seen in such restaurants. Our drinks were great, the food fantastic, and the prices reasonable. We will definitely come back here on a regular basis.

    Came back again Saturday night. As usual, food was on point and delicious. Margaritas are perfection here. Liz was our server and she was awesome. So attentive and friendly. We are always so happy when she gets to wait on us. It was a great night because of the food and service!

    Excellent, big tacos with excellent rice and beans!
    Chris S.

    You get nice sized portions of really tasty Mexican food here! And the pricing is worthy.

    Grilled octopus
    Regine S.

    Just went for a late lunch today It was my first time at that place The decor is really pretty and original But the parking is extremely small me: I think that is a problem! Their food is OK but the portions are rather small, especially for the price they are charging I had the grilled octopus with roasted cauliflower: it was good but not good enough for almost $40! They even charge $4 for the chips and salsa that my friends ordered. It was a good experience because I was with good friends but I will not return there‼

I got the Sweet Temptation French toast. This was delicious. The Dulce de Lèche was rich, but balanced out with the acidity from the strawberries. The French toast was exactly as you would imagine, cooked well and had a nice flavor. The French toast came with a side of eggs, meat, and potatoes. I chose over medium eggs, bacon, and hash browns. My eggs were cooked right, the bacon was crispy without being brittle, and the hash browns were perfect. Definitely worth it! My friends got the Very Berry French toast and the Chilaquiles Divorciados. They both said theirs were delicious as well. The ambience of the restaurant is clean and nice. There's seating indoors and outdoors, we chose to eat inside. The waiter checked on us a few times to make sure we were still doing okay, and we never felt rushed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Cafe De Olla. I'll be back to try their other menu items (:

    The appeal of this place is not offset by the negatives…read more It's really marketed as more of an exclusive experience. Kind of like a speakeasy. The service is a one out of five for sure. We had two separate servers because one went home during the middle of our dinner and both were equally horrible. Not even exaggerating when I say we waited at least 15 minutes after we asked for the check and there were probably only 10 tables in the entire restaurant. And we had to call her back over to ask for a second time. SMH. The food although flavorful was so ridiculously priced it was not even funny. I got a "ribeye ". Was literally eight thin slices of steak, like 1" x 1" size for $42! No, I will not be coming back here for so many reasons. The view is great. Castaways is definitely not what it used to be in the way of quality but at least you get more and you get the view. But definitely not worth it going to this place. It was quite a frustrating evening. Also, if you do decide to go here, just bring a coat when it's a little bit cooler in the evenings cause it does get cold up here and getting the staff to manage the heaters correctly is a whole other frustration. Oh, and valet is your only option for parking up here. It's kind of crazy because a few years ago you could just go park in the lot or the garage that's available there but now they're charging you $11 and it's chaos. I will say that the view up here is great though so if you're willing to forgo all of that for a view for like a one time date or something like that, it might be worth it
