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 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. It made for a fantastic birthday dinner for her. The incredibly friendly and helpful and excellently proficient and friendly staff along with the excellent food is why we will always return.

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.
