Tried this place for the first time and loved it. They have $10 Margaritas and great food, service and music. Kind of overstayed from the time they opened to close. We just had a great time. Will return!

The staff, especially Nathan, are the best at shy business we go to. Absolute top notch service from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. I highly recommend trying all of Chef’s specials and anything off of their regular menu. Morning till night, I can 100% guarantee you’ll be happy with anything you order. The drinks are also strong according to my wife and she’s always very happy with her food as well and always suggests having the Albóndigas soup. Again, everyone here is the absolute best but Nathan is one of many reasons we love visiting Joselito’s in Tujunga!
