" The experience at La Josie was…average. The service was friendly and accommodating, but my food was pretty lukewarm. I tried the ceviche that was recommended, but I wasn't a fan. The portions were fair for the price, and I appreciated the vibrant decor in the restaurant. However, I was left wanting more in terms of flavors. It wasn't bad enough for me to not go back, but I hope for better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my visit to La Josie. The ambiance was lively, for sure, but my tacos were just average. I expected them to be packed with flavor but they fell flat. The service was decent but we did have to wait longer than I expected for the check. I would say I got a great atmosphere but the food didn't quite meet the hype everyone speaks of. I might consider trying a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic time having dinner at La Josie! The bartender was incredibly talented, crafting unique cocktails that paired perfectly with our meal. Our food was excellent, especially the seafood tacos, which were fresh and flavorful. We felt quite welcomed by the staff, who were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Just a tad on the pricier side for what we ordered, but the experience was worth it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I had a mixed experience at La Josie. The atmosphere was energetic, and the decor was chic—truly set the mood for an exciting dinner. However, my meal didn't live up to expectations. I ordered the enchiladas and while they looked appealing, the flavors were quite muted. The service was spot on, though, and our server tried their best to accommodate us. I might give it another chance, but I hope my next experience is better. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful spot! La Josie has a fun atmosphere, and I loved the rooftop patio. The authentic Mexican food here was incredible—just what I was looking for. The portion sizes felt reasonable for the price, and I appreciated how quickly the staff handled our orders. I'd definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to indulge in quality Mexican cuisine. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was recommended La Josie by a friend and it surely did not disappoint! I went during happy hour and took advantage of the delicious margaritas—very refreshing. The elote was a delightful surprise, and the flavors of each dish reminded me of some of my favorite meals from Mexico. The only downside was we had to wait a little for a table, but it was worth it! A perfect place for a date night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had another great dining experience at La Josie! As always, the tacos were exceptionally flavorful and the atmosphere was lively. Our server was attentive and had fantastic recommendations. I decided to try a mezcal flight this time, and wow, it opened up a whole new world of flavors for me. The guacamole paired so well with the chips—definitely a must-order! I'll keep coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)
