As a guy who is on the road throughout LA and Orange County daily, I am constantly looking for a good ""local joint"" to eat lunch. As I was driving along Foothill Blvd. in Tujunga I could not help but notice the overflowing parking lot at Joselito's as this is usually a good sign of good food inside. The place looked ok but as I made my way to my table I noticed what it was that caused the parking lot to overflow...Cheap Lunch Buffet! I immediatly thought Ihit the jackpot and told my waiter what my intentions were. Well, to my surprise, there was only 5 minutes left before the buffet ended so he would not allow me to partake. Well I was not very happy but he quickly reccomended the 99 cent tacos which could stiill be ordered for another hour. I reluctantly agreed and ordered three shredded beef tacos and two glasses of water( I was working in the hot sun all morning and was quite thirsty). Then things took a bad turn. My waiter brought me four chickn tacos and two glasses of iced tea! I informed the waiter of the mistake and he gave me a very puzzled look. So I told him to forget the water and to just leave one glass of iced tea. As for the tacos, I felt bad sending perfectly good food back to the kitchen so I suggested that he only charge me for what I ordered and I would eat three of the chicken tacos he brought me instead. He agreed. The chicken tacos tasted like dirt. I mean Taco Bell makes a better friggin taco and I can't stand their food. These things were bone dry and did not have any onions/cilantro/lime/tomatos. Just dry chicken and tortillas. Was this some kind of joke? I could not finish two tacos before I finally asked for the bill. Well no surprise here, I was charged for the four tacos and two iced teas. Rather than beat a dead horse and point out the mistake, I left the cash on the table and walked out. Bottom line this place stinks. Try El Torito or Alcapulco rest instead. The food is much more authentic and I'm sure they will get your order right.
Cons: Food, service, parking
