    The food was excellent and the staff were fantastic. We took my mother out for dinner for her birthday and the staff made sure it was extra special.

    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.

    I asked for a medium steak, and I got it well done. I mentioned it to the waiter but I was ignored.
