For over 30 years, Candilejas Restaurant has been a cherished destination for authentic Mexican cuisine and fresh seafood in Burbank, CA. Rooted in tradition and passion, we take pride in serving bold flavors, time-honored recipes, and the warm hospitality that makes every meal feel like home.
Reina’s journey with Candilejas began over a decade ago when she started working at the restaurant while raising her young son. She fell in love with the art of Mexican cooking, the close-knit team, and the joy of serving the community. Six years ago, Reina fulfilled a lifelong dream by taking ownership of Candilejas, carrying forward its legacy while bringing her own vision to life.
At Candilejas, we believe in authenticity, quality, and community. Our menu is crafted with fresh ingredients, traditional spices, and a deep love for Mexican flavors. From sizzling fajitas and handmade tortillas to our signature seafood dishes, every plate tells a story.
With a passion for great food and a heart for hospitality, Reina and the Candilejas team are excited to continue growing. Expansion is on the horizon, but our commitment to delivering the same rich flavors and welcoming atmosphere remains unchanged.
