The food and service was fantastic. The portions were large but not too large. I was able to order a meal for one with a beverage and dessert. I was comfortably full as I walked out the door. The staff was attentive and cheerful. With my reservation, I was promptly seated. The waiter came shortly there after, serving me chips and salsa. I had already seen the menu online (Thanks OpenTable!) and knew what to order! The Enchiladas Lito with carnitas was delicious as was the horchata beverage. After the dinner I was politely asked about a refill for my Horchata but declined. I ordered flan for dessert. The waiter told me I had a choice of three, so I ordered the butter scotch version. Again, delicious! Thanks, so much, Joselitos! I had a grand experience dining with you.

The food was extraordinarily good and I was very positively surprised to find grilled chicken tuna on the menu

Frequent Joselitos weekly. Friendly and courteous staff. Food and service are consistently good. Nicely decorated. Parking can be an issue (if busy). Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Sunland-Tujunga area. Would highly recommend.

I ordered a different item on the menu than I normally would, and it was a bit disappointing. But normally I like the food I get there. It was just different this time, and I will either special order that item next time, or I will not order it again. Normally, I am happy with everything here. It was just this, and a longstanding thing that they will not change, which I have grown accustomed to.
