    We were looking forward to this meal as it was our Mother’s Day celebration. Food was not good, everyone in the party was not satisfied. We all agreed that the rice was dry, the mole sauce was syrupy did not taste like mole at all. The sauce that was put on the wet burrito was also sweet and syrupy. Will come back to give it one more chance but for the price I’ll think twice.

    Came across this restaurant on Yelp. Have to say it is one of the best Mexican restaurants we have experienced. Reservation made on Open Table and table was ready when we arrived (actually ready a few minutes early). Have to say they incorporate a few nice touches which distinguish it from the other restaurants. Food was very very good. Our table had the shrimp de La casa, Mexican street tacos and pozole verde. Guacamole was very tasty as well. Had it medium salsa. Will try mild next time. Indulged in a Cadillac Maggie and it did not disappoint. Service was excellent. Definitely will return and highly recommend. Only con was finding parking. It was our first time here so not sure where we were allowed to park other than their small parking lot.

    The food here is normally excellent. However, this time the plate was not hot and the food wasn’t either, so this resulted in an unpleasant experience. That said, this is the first time that happened to me in this restaurant, and I take it to be a one off. We will definitely return.

    We dined at Joselito's last evening and brought a good friend and business associate. He dined on certain items we have yet to try Sweet Corn Cakes, Burrito Mojado and a delicious Mexican Coffee with a special ground Cinnamon. He loved all and said we all must come back soon for another fantastic meal. We dine there often so we now know who to bring as a guest. Thanks Joselito's for spectacular food and service.
