Best Mexican Food and Service Around! 7/16/2007

We like going to Joselito's because you're treated like family. Everyone always has a smile and they are very eager to please you. They go out of their way to make your meal and stay a pleasant one. The food is great! If I ask my grandkids where they want to eat, it is always JOSELITO'S! Try it! You'll like it! more

great for group dining 7/16/2007

I was invited to a surprize party at a restaurant, which sounds a little odd, but when we got there they had a whole room set aside for us. The middle of the floor was open with booths going all the way around the very spaceous room. I was impressed. We could mingle and drink untill our birthday boy arrived. The waitstaff was never far & treated us so kindly. There were 30 of us and when the food came it just kept on coming till we were all feed, no one was forgetton or given the wrong food. Now I'm very impressed. Pros: large party room more

Really good Mexican food!!! 7/12/2007

It's not just good, it's really good. Been there several times, I'd like to concider my self a regular actually. I've never had a bad experience. Friendly staff, large menu, great chips & salsa. What I really like is they are always having new specials too. This always me to forego the menu & go straight for the special~ which is always creative. Spinash enchiladas were the last one I tried. so favorful. Pros: everything more

Great Value & service 7/9/2007

I drove out from Slymar to try out Joselitos. We have a lot of mexican food in Slymar but nothing comes close to this! I was amazed at the great service you get here!! Most mexican restaurants don't give you the attention you need, not the case at joselitos. I really enjoyed my food as well. Cooked to perfection and oh so tasty!! I had the Carne Asada with an enchilada. But first,we started with chile con queso~ devine! Pros: outstanding value, unbeatable service, two parking lots Cons: none really more

Great Atmosphere, food & drinks 7/8/2007

We just had dinner at our favorite local Mexican Restaurants. My wifes fish tacos where amazing and my Burrito lito was not only delicious it was huge! I have left overs for lunch today. I have to admit though it's more about the tasty margarita's and friendly service that keep us coming back week in and week out. Growing up in Tujunga it is nice to have at least one REAL restaurant in the area. Pros: Food, Service, Ambience Cons: WIsh I could eat there everyday more

Great ambience- delicious food and tasty margaritas! 7/6/2007

I have been to both Joselitos and I can't deicde which one I lke better. The waitstaff is always pleasant. The margaritas are great, as is the Sangria. The food may not be authentic Mexican- it's more Mexican with a little bit of an American Twist. Always delicious and always a delight to eat at Joselitos! more

okay if you know authentic mexican food 7/5/2007

i grew up in a mexican household and i know AUTHENTIC mexican food, and let me tell you this aint it!. i ordered some enchiladas the last time i was there and the chicken was in HUGE chunks, not shreded like it should have been and the sauce was nothing special. the margarita tasted like cool aid ! not worth a far drive in my opinion its no different from Acapulco or El Torito Restaurants. to put it simple, ""nothing special"" Pros: nice place Cons: typical americanized mexican food, not authentic at all more

Awesome Grub!!! 6/29/2007

If you are looking for some Killer GRUB you have to check out this place. Kick back patio and sweet Margaritas!! Try the Zarapes and the Asomobrosso Rita. My Girl & I split a chocolate flan that was the bomb. Pros: they have their own parking lot, cool waiters more

Mexican food 6/22/2007

Just an average mexican restaurant, definitly not as great as the prior reviews. We drove a long way due to the high ratings and were very disappointed. The margaritas were just so so and the food was not very great. Server was nice and friendly. Seems like a locals hang out. Pros: Friendly servers Cons: So so food and drinks, poor parking more

Better than average Mexican food. 12/26/2006

I've loved Mexican food my whole life. If anyone can give good advice about where to eat good Mexican you can trust my advice. From hole in the walls to high end joints I could write a book, and give myself about a 99% that if you followed that advice you'll have a great meal. So when I tell you that Joselito's is better than average, trust me. Not great, but definately not bad at all. I traveled 20 plus mi. to eat there trusting a review, but wouldn't go that far to eat there again. Service was fine, the place is real nice inside and clean. Margie's were very good, but over priced. Meals were well prepared and good serving sizes for sure. Chips and salsa really make a difference, and there chips were great, salsa so so. My advice is if you live near there, go there for sure, it may become your local favorite. But if you want to travel a distance for great Mexican go to Casa Vega in Studio City, that's a no miss. Was I disappointed? No, it's always nice to get out for dinner so it was worth it. Pros: Thumbs up all the way. Cons: None to say more

Great EVERYTHING! 11/24/2006

This place is truly a hidden gem. Everything here is fantastic! I can't think of a single thing that I can say needed improvement. When we first got there everyone is so warm and welcoming. The service is cordial and friendly. Watch out for the margaritas. They are ADDICTIVE. They are so good and have a nice kick too. The food is very authentic. Everything on the menu sounds so delicious you want to try everything, but you can't because the portions are soooo big. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed. Pros: Everything! Cons: None! more

Fast, friendly service and delicious eats! 7/15/2006

I am IN LOVE with their shrimp and rice plate. Even though it's piled sky-high on the plate I'm still wishing there was more to devour! Their drinks are really creative and their private banquet room is great for parties. I've traveled over 30 miles to eat here on more than one occasion, it's worth it. Parking may be limited but I've never had a problem finding a spot just outside of the lot. Pros: Great for large parties, service Cons: Parking more

Great Mexican food and Margaritas! 7/10/2006

This restaurant is great! The service is good, the food is good, and the drinks are good. I recommend it to all. It's worth the drive too. I especially recommend the nachos with fajita meat (chicken and steak), they are sinful but very good, and they reheat well. I also recommend the blue margarita. It tastes great, and one is plenty. more
