    Jose lito has great potential the decor is awesome but the overdressed waiters and service style makes it feel like the restaurant is dated. Food is mixed, some of our dishes were excellent some were just alright.

    Very pleasant staff, albeit somewhat unattentive. Quiet, pleasant space. Paucity of vegetable dishes. Overly salted food. Nice, but there are better Spanish restaurants in the area.

    We had a good experience at Joselito. Food is a mixed bag: some dishes like the fisherman’s rice were excellent. Others like the octopus were underwhelming. Service was okay, but not as attentive as it could’ve been given the restaurant was only half-full. We liked the space and the vibe.

    We have never had a disappointing meal at Joselito. My husband doesn't like small plates, and he loves eating here because main dish portions are available. I love that the tapas size is also generous. Rather than 3 small bites like some tapas places, I can make a meal out of their tapas size! And everything is delicious.

    The service is excellent. Our waitress was very knowledge about the entire menu including wines and she was very nice to work with. The food was very good with lovely bread. The only item that we were disappointed with was our appetizer. It was the cheese and toasted bread. The cheese was in very thin slices and barely fit on the toasted bread. Not worth the price. Everything else was very good.

    Wonderful. We spent almost two hours before a concert working our way through fcold and then hot tapas while enjoying a liter of sangria. The food was great: tuna cudo, chicken liver, wagyu beef - just to mention a few. Love the place and we will return.

    Usually, I have outstanding reviews for Joselito's, but the duck that was served at lunch during restaurant week was very good, but not the usual excellent quality. I will always recommend this restaurant, but restaurant week may not reflect its typical outstanding quality for service and food.
