Good tacos and salsa. This is pretty much the tagline you need for la josie. At anywhere from $6-$8 per taco they aren’t the cheapest, but they hit the spot. The chicken taco and mushroom taco were crowd favorites. You won’t go wrong eating here, but don’t expect to have be blown away by creativity. (3.9/5)

Our first time at La Josie was incredible. It was a rainy and foggy day, but the way the dark interior & lighting created such an immediate vibe was incredible. Verania was our server and she was legitimately knowledgeable talking about the menu.
The agua fresca with reposado was fantastic. My wife got a margarita and chilequiles. I got three tacos, but the Huitlacoche was the arguably BEST I've ever had. It would make me a vegetarian in a heartbeat, and I'm a carnivore's carnivore.
At the end, Verania got us birthday shots as it was my wife's 30th birthday. Shout out to her, she made the experience that much more memorable.
It is worth coming here than the place next door.

FOOD RATING AT THE BOTTOM: La Joise a gem. The vibes in the place are incredible from the open window concept to the sexy atmosphere & live DJ inside, I had a great time. I was late for my reservation. (PRO TIP: Add 20 to your trip during dinner hours, traffic is nuts.) The greeting staff was extremely accommodating even though the restaurant was full. We were seated quickly.
The waitress was ready with recommendations and to help guide my selection and damn I am glad I listened.
That food has me HOOKED! The cooks has to be adding drops of love in the dishes they are incredible.

Had dinner here and we ordered the chicken tacos - changed to lettuce wrap and the mixed seafood platter (which was served w their hand pressed corn tortillas).
Service was nice and friendly
Food was good, albeit a little salty.
The hand pressed corn tortillas are gluten free and were very delicious!
Would have been 5 stars if the food was less salty!

From start to finish, our experience at La Josie was amazing. Great food, ambiance, and service.
Their cocktail menu for tequila and mezcal drinks is really unique and our group loved everything we had. The Demonios cocktail was a nice mix of smoky and spicy and the Oaxacan Old Fashioned was great and served on a perfect large cube. If you're a fan of tequila and mezcal, their selection of pours and flights is absolutely insane.
The appetizers were all fantastic. We had the chips and salsa trio, the guacamole duo, and the chorizo queso fundito. The gluten free chips were really solid as well.
For dinner, we had 4 types of tacos that we all shared. The steak tacos were the favorite, followed by the carnitas, and barbacoa. The lobster tacos were okay, but our favorite.
For dessert, we had the churros which was a perfect finish. If you like high-end Mexican food and cocktails, La Josie is the place to go!

I had a wonderful time at LA Josie. The margaritas were just right for my friend and me. The waiter was incredibly friendly, and the service was outstanding, with our food arriving promptly. Speaking of the food, it was delicious. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos, mainly due to the sauce. I kind of wish that the same sauce in the shrimp tacos was used in the Baja tacos; it would have enhanced the flavor. The asada was also expertly cooked and quite delicious. I recommend it as a fantastic spot to relax with a friend and enjoy great conversation!

I am an absolute fan of this place. We sat at the open rooftop, what a beautiful view. Had some heated lamps going up there with some string lights giving it such a cozy feel. Our waitress was very friendly, bubbly, and gave amazing recommendations. Their ceviche was soooo good and so was all their food. I was especially excited about all their mezcal cocktail options and they definitely didn’t disappoint. Including the mezcal old fashioned which merged two of my fav things. Go check it out, it’s definitely a vibe!

Truly earned 5 stars for everything. So much care taken with the food with layers of flavor, the tequila and mezcal mixed drinks were inventive and delicious, and the server knew every part of the menu and ingredients - it's so refreshing to deal with knowledgeable staff. Don't wait - go now - you will not regret it!

Waitress was super nice!
They gave a huge guacamole for that day I don’t know why but it’s super delicious (might bc it’s free so got extra bonus hhhh)
We order the trio ceviche and a hot version of ceviche (this was what waitress described it) and we loved the hot version better!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Josie restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with my meal. The guacamole I started with was simply delicious - it had a perfect balance of fresh avocados, tangy lime, and just the right amount of spice. For my main course, I ordered the mariscada, which was a seafood dish that tasted like it had just been caught from the ocean - it was so fresh and flavorful! The dish was cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that complemented the seafood perfectly. To finish off the meal, I indulged in a massive chocolate cake that was absolutely divine - rich, moist, and so satisfying.
The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with a great vibe that made me feel right at home. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure my dining experience was nothing short of excellent. All in all, I highly recommend La Josie restaurant - it's definitely worth a visit if you're looking for great food, a great atmosphere, and great service.
