" These tacos taste like home! I first discovered Josie's during a lunch break, and now it’s my favorite spot for takeout. The flavors are genuine and remind me so much of my grandma's cooking. The staff is always friendly, making it a pleasant place to stop by. I recommend the tamales, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family gathering at Josie's! The food was amazing, especially the tamales, which are huge and flavorful. I also loved the nachos, but the atmosphere was quite simple with a take-out vibe. Still, I’d definitely recommend this place for some authentic Mexican home-cooked meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my latest visit to Josie's. The chicken in my tacos was overcooked and the salsa lacked the punch I remember. It's a bummer since I used to love this place. Hopefully, they'll get back to their original form. At least the service was prompt and friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you haven't visited Josie's, you're missing out on some fierce competition for the best chicken tacos in the city! They have a reputation for good reason, and I might even say the fried tacos are better than my grandma’s. Authentic charm and delightful flavors truly make for a satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Josie's before heading to a show, and I couldn't have made a better choice! The chicken tacos were my favorite. I appreciate how quickly they prepare the food without sacrificing flavor. Just be aware it's mostly a takeout spot, so plan accordingly. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Today I had the fried tacos and they were definitely worth the praise! Crispy shell, flavorful filling, and large portions. I do wish there were more dining options available, as it’s mostly takeout. But overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for taco Monday and enjoyed every bite! The fried chicken tacos were crispy and didn't taste greasy. Always a good value for what you pay, and the staff made me feel right at home. However, seating is limited which might be a downside during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
