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.
