    Shrimp Fajitas
    Val A.

    The restaurant looks cozy and welcoming, which is nice. However, I went there for the Mexican food, and it was very disappointing. It was my first time eating bell peppers and onions that had absolutely no flavor. In fact, the entire dish lacked taste. It made me wonder where they source their produce from. The service was also very slow. We were seated outside and had to call the restaurant to ask them to send a server to take our order. Unfortunately, the inviting atmosphere couldn't make up for the bland food and poor service.

    Crispy Quesadilla

    Solid Mexican restaurant that feels like you have been transported to a Pueblo in Mexico. They have a cute outside dining area and inside a large dining area with a separate area in the back for larger groups. The menu is pretty extensive food and drink wise. They have traditional dishes like Chile Colorado and all kinds of margaritas. They also had a specials menu which gave us plenty of options. First time here and we all started off with some complimentary chips and salsa (salsa had a good kick to it) and margaritas. The large is pretty LARGE and everyone enjoyed their selections- guava, strawberry, tamarindo, etc We all tried a couple of things: jalapeño cheese cigarillos, crispy quesadilla, green chile poblano enchiladas, shrimp chile relleno, carne asada burrito, And for dessert the fried ice cream and the cherry churro ice cream. Everything tasted good and none of the items were on the spicy side for those afraid of heat. DO order the ice cream desserts, they were a HIT. If it's your birthday, they will sing to you while wearing a sombrero and take a commemorative photo. A sweet memento that not many restaurants do anymore. If in the area, it's worth a try!

    Joselito's is a solid Mexican restaurant. They have both a nice indoor and outdoor seating. It was a little cooler the evening I went, but their outdoor area is very fun and should not be overlooked - it might even be a hidden secret. The drink selection is extensive, including their margaritas which come in large or normal sizes, very refreshing! I got a chile Ellen and chicken enchilada combination, the flavors were there and enjoyable. Staff were very friendly and I'll make sure to come back again for an experience.

    Great service! Love the waiters and chefs! Mom got a piña colada. i got a sprite and mexico city tacos and an enchilada. So so good. Mom had a big bowl of chicken tortilla soup. Then we had butterscotch flan for dessert! Yummmy !!! This restaurant has NFL on which I LOVE and its nice and warm and cozy. So many waiters that your food comes quickly and is hot. Best decor too for a Mexcian place. So many choices on the menu..and you can join their rewards club and earn points. They also reward you with discounts on your birthday and your anniversary! Parking can be a challenge but we always manage. I recommend going to the website to make your reservation so they take you right in.

    Food and Margaritas are amazing! The service is exceptional and we are always treated with respect by all the workers whenever we eat there. We love the cozy atmosphere and it's always decorated so cute.

    Taquitos Rancheros
    Gregory G.

    This place seems to be a local spot in the Sunland/Tujunga area. The place has been at this location for approximately over 20+ years or so. However, this is a great place to come for Mexican food. As you step in the door, you feel as if you're at home. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Once seated, we were given chips and fresh salsa. The service and staff were great! They were prompt, fast and they took the time to explain certain dishes and answer any questions we had. All the servers were busy walking in and out of the kitchen/bar area, however, they were all happy and willing to help all the customers as they were walking your table. I ordered the taquitos plate. As the server placed it on the table, he advised the plate was still very hot. I was fine with it, as it kept the rice and beans warm throughout my meal. The taquitos were crunchy on the outside and soft savory beef was on inside. The cool smoothness of the guacamole added just the right balance of flavor once you bite into the crunchy taquito. I will definitely come back here. This place has a wonderful staff, great location, delicious food. It checks all the boxes.

    Amazing place, amazing foodStrongly recommended The staff is great and they are very knowledgeable and friendly Thank you Luise

    Came by this past weekend after a day at the fair. Quickly sat down and they have an extensive menu. Started with margaritas of course - watermelon and passion fruit. Refreshing but light on the fruit flavor. For an appetizer we ordered the TJ taquitos- not drenched in sauce like they are listed but a nice drizzle and the pickled onions and queso fresco on top made a great bite. For mains we got the Mexican flag enchiladas and the fish tacos - both good, fish tacos have a different tangy sweet sauce on top, I would've preferred a crema but still a good taco. Sadly too stuffed for dessert but would've loved to try the flan. Service was great until we were ready for the check and she must've been spread thin because it took a while until she returned to our corner to check up. Classic decor with patio seating as well. Smaller parking lot that was packed when we arrived. Seems like a popular spot and glad to have checked it out!

    Driving on the Valley someone recommended this place, we get there and they have an amazing space, amazing patio perfect for families Food it's not great and I had the idea since I saw the margaritas flying out to the tables, I got a couple of plates but not one of my favorite Mexican American restaurants Not going back since it's far from me but if I'm in the area I would try another place to find something around that area

    Outside patio is the place to sit!

Echoing what everyone else has been saying - the service is SO slow. It was about 45 minutes before we were able to order our second drink and our water glasses were empty. They have so many runners bringing the drinks out but only a few servers and, from the looks of it, one bartender (on a Saturday night - what?!). The server was saying he was trying to find a manager to help out but they were nowhere to be found. Clearly management is fine with these service times since they're still making $$$. The drinks were delicious, and I loved that there were heaters on the patio (though they did get very hot at times). Our server was so kind and brought us a celebratory drink. I do wish there were more explanations with the beverages, especially for the Paid Vacation as most people will not realize you're supposed to bite into the buzz button for the tingly sensation. I would come back, but need some time for my wallet to recover first, haha!

And he is a French dip connoisseur! He's tried all the regular L.A staples--Philippe's, Cole's, etc.... But he says nothing compares to The Proper. Their burger is also wonderful. I've also had several of their fish dishes and have enjoyed them all. And you must try the warm butter cake. I'm normally a chocolate lover, but I dream about the butter cake from The Proper.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience, but we ultimately left feeling that the prices just didn't match the overall value. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere. The décor is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel much more inviting than you might expect from a restaurant located in a strip mall. It has a comfortable, upscale vibe that makes for a nice dinner setting. The only downside was that we were seated directly underneath an air conditioning vent, which made it uncomfortably cold throughout our meal. For dinner, I ordered the short rib sandwich, and my wife had the three-taco plate, which included chips and tortilla soup. We didn't order any appetizers, desserts, or alcoholic beverages--just our entrées. After tax and tip, our total came to over $80. I completely understand that restaurant prices have increased over the past few years, and I'm willing to pay more for a great meal and experience. However, this felt like pricing I'd expect from a high-end standalone restaurant rather than a casual neighborhood spot. To be fair, the food was good. Everything was well prepared, flavorful, and enjoyable. I don't think the issue is the quality of the food--it's simply the value. While we enjoyed our meal, nothing stood out enough to justify the premium pricing, especially considering there are many other restaurants nearby offering similar quality at a lower price point. I'm glad we gave it a try, and I can see why people enjoy the ambiance and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the overall value just wasn't there for us, and because of that, I don't think we'll be returning.
