" What a delightful experience! Josie's has become my go-to place for delicious Mexican food. The variety on the menu is impressive, and everything I've tried has been delicious. I particularly love the carnitas—they're so flavorful and tender! The servers are always welcoming, enhancing the friendly atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem in Atwater! " (*Curated Review*)

" The latest visit to Josie's was quite nice— the tacos I ordered were absolutely fresh and flavorful. However, I did feel the service could improve in terms of speed. We waited longer than expected for our food to arrive. In fairness, the waiter apologized multiple times, indicating they were short-staffed that night, which was understandable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to friends and family, as the quality of food speaks volumes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Josie's! From the moment we entered, we were greeted with smiles. The fried shrimp was the best I’ve had in a long time. The chips were fresh and perfectly crispy, and the salsa had a nice kick! One of my favorites was the DRY, really tasty horchata. It's worth noting that the prices have increased a bit, but the quality remains high, so I think it balances out. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very good place if you're looking for classic Mexican food. I loved the flavors of the enchiladas! They were well-prepared and seasoned just right. I do think the waiting time could be a bit extensive during peak hours. The staff is friendly and responsive, but it seems they are a bit overwhelmed at times. I also wish they would provide more chips once you finish your first serving, as I hate asking for refills. Overall, I'd visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Josie's the other night, and I must say, the food was amazing! The shrimp chimichangas were to die for, deep fried to perfection and served with a side of fresh guacamole. The ambiance was relaxed, making it a great place for a quiet meal. My only complaint? I wish the chips came with more salsa, but that's just a minor detail. All in all, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my meal at Josie's last weekend! The pozole was rich and hearty, perfect for the chilly weather. The only downside was the wait time—it took longer to get our orders than expected, and we left rather full but slightly frustrated. The staff was very polite and understanding, which was a nice touch. I would probably return; I just hope next time the timing will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Josie's is absolutely a hidden gem. I brought my whole family for dinner, and we all left satisfied. My favorite dish was the chicken mole, which was rich and flavorful. The portions were generous, and we really enjoyed the setup of the restaurant. It’s cozy but classy. Our waitress was so nice! She handled our large group with grace, ensuring we had everything we needed. Just a lovely experience overall. If you're in the area, give it a try! " (*Curated Review*)
