Crispy Quesadilla
Bianka G.

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.

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.

Their great salsas

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.

Short rib enchiladas special

We find the food at Joselito's in Tujunga to be consistently delectable and hot as well as very quick service. We are treated like family. We know the servers, hosts, managers and everyone else who are employees at Joselito's Restaurant. The Taco Tuesdays are delicious and very reasonable hard shelled or soft shelled tacos. All of the cuisine here is outstanding in every way. We always get our favorite table. We eat here a lot throughout the years. The ambiance has a lot of special touches in terms of small and large decorations. You may eat breakfast for dinner as well. The menu is very extensive and varied in terms of Mexican cuisine. The servers are always amazing!!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!! Get here early for good parking. Enjoy!!!!!

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.

The service is top notch and staff is very friendly. I go there quite frequently so they remember me and what I like. Truly an inviting atmosphere, they make you feel at home ! Food is always good and served promptly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

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

chili colorado joselitos tujunga

i asked for a spoon the sauce was so great the Chili Colorado so enjoyable the staff was perfect as the tastes

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!

Outside patio is the place to sit!

Great ambiance. Great food. A little bit of a drive but worth it for the feel of the escape. Service was great. Our server was very kind. The food was more than enough, and the views were my favorite for any Mexican spot in LA

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!

Because there is a seafood restaurant across the street from Basin 141, I always thought to stick to the excellent dishes I've tried before. However, the description of the Shrimp in the menu made me want to try it. I made the decision and was I delighted. Sautéed Garlic Shrimp in a white wine cream sauce accompanied by perfect al dente spaghetti, tomato and basil with shredded Parmesan and French baguettes. A perfect combination that should be entered in a culinary contest, it was that good. Elliott was the wonderful server who paid great attention to us and while one of our favorite waitresses, Paige has moved on, there is another Paige who was wonderful to us. As Basin 141 turns to another Paige (sorry, I had to), we are as well and are seriously looking to move to Montrose as it's a wonderful town and with this restaurant in the same area, we could become frequent flyers. It may be best known as a bar because of their incredible selections, but this wonderful establishment is a fantastic restaurant with out door seating.

It was easy to feel comfortable and even easier to want to come back. They have a really solid beer selection, but the real winner is their cider--it's 8% alcohol, which is insane for a cider, but hey, I'm not complaining. They had the hockey game on, which I definitely appreciated, and they also have a pool table where you can write your name down to play. Not sure if there's a charge for that, but either way, it's a nice touch. They're open pretty late, and while the location doesn't have a bunch of other bars or spots around, the upside is tons of parking--which I totally love. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out and maybe even making some new friends while you're there. (If you go in, tell the bartenders, I said hi)

I don't know if that's a compliment for everyone, but I mean it in the best way. Established and substantial. Service is good. Clyde, the only bartender I've encountered is a pretty cool cat. Go visit him and see what I mean. The drink menu is impressive with old school tiki bar drinks highlighted. However, that Sparr Cocktail (a manhattan) rings my chimes too. I've had both lunch and dinner. Some stand outs: the crab cakes, the roast beef dip, and the sand dabs at dinner were all very satisfying. I just remembered the cobbler of pears poached in red wine! So good! I also had a filet one night and it was cooked perfectly. Check out John Sparr. You won't regret it unless you get a ticket for not curbing your tires!

The music isn't upbeat. He's talented, but for the ambience, the musicians should make it fun and upbeat with some medium tempos as well. Roger, out of the lineup, is by far the most fun and upbeat, and he is so nice and personable! We went for lite appetizers and drinks, but roger made it that much more fun. We ended up staying until he was done. We gave him a very nice tip, and he was so grateful. Throughout the evening, we requested a few tunes, and he played them! We love his music and his energy!
