The worst experience ever!!!! I wouldn't recommend this place to my friends or family any more! They got my order wrong,they made my babys food last!! He got his food 10 minutes after everyone else!.my food was cold.then made my mom's food the way they wanted after asking please to modify it .they forgot I need something to eat with you can't eat rice with your hands! and forget the drinks .I drove out from Victorville ..2 hours!!!! And I only get one water!!! One!...But they lady had time to go out and buy Starbucks...They they said it wasn't there fault they only have one cook.But had 4 lady's working the floor.... They charged me 5 hamdergs. But I only 4 kid ate hamdergs.who was the 5th one for?....then they charged 17.00 dollar tip ..before even asking me....what they where going to charge my card ......after living in Burbank over 20 year ...never will I go again or recommend to anyone ...we are better off eating a cup of noodles.. McDonald's is more fancy than this .it was a waste of time..money.and a ruined dinner. Don't let This...

It was date-nite for my wife and I, so we decided to try a new place. We stopped at Candilejas to give it a try, and we were pleasantly surprised. You wouldn't give the building much importance from the outside, and it's sort of in a funny area for a restaurant. When I entered, I got the family-owned restaurant vibe...small, simple, spartan. The server that helped us was very polite and explained some of the dishes we had questions about. In the end, we ended up getting the "Torre" and the Ceviche de camarones", they were both awesome, super tender, and fresh-tasting. We had to leave early to pick up my son so we didn't finish the "Torre". You should definitely try this place if you like...

Very interesting place. Diner-style Mexican joint. I grabbed a prawn burrito, and it was humongous. Although maybe not my favourite combination, as it turned out. Washed it down with Modelo Negra, which is my favourite beer when I am visiting LA. This time though the waitress Lorena brought it with a lime, which I have never seen before (!). And it works amazingly well! I ordered a 2nd bottle, and it's still on the table. Gonna enjoy it (!) when I'm done with this. ATM I am the only customer, it's Sunday, maybe that is why. Some ladies laugh histerically in the backround. The atmosphere is great. Something tells me it's even better when the place is full. Now onto that...
