We found this gem while been looking for a lunch place. We ordered red Sangria, wine, spanish seafood rice (don’t remember exactly the name), veal cheeks, duck breast. The Sangria presentation was very unique with large cube of frozen fruit - very flavorful! All food was very flavorful and tasty. Veal cheeks were so tender, melted in your mouth; duck breast was very flavorful and tender with crunchy grilled crust - one of the best ducks we tried. Good service with authentic ambience of tapas restaurant in Spain. We loved it!

Great service, impeccable by Oscar, my reservation was canceled, I arrived 13 minutes late, hostess needs more training to understand the concept of hospitality. Upon my arrival she said she had canceled my reservation even though she had called to confirm. I explained I had gotten lost. I asked her when will the next table be available? She said she had no more tables available for the night and welcome to sit at the bar. So I sat at bar while waiting for my partner to arrive. I asked the bartender/server Oscar if a table would become available within the next few minutes, I would rather sit at the table as I celebrated my birthday. He accommodated us, great service, food!! Etc.. However just work on creating a welcoming warmth environment and focusing on solutions goes a long way. Rather than showing you are in charge with a harsh tone of voice will definitely send the wrong message. More training in the Art of Hospitality!! Thank you!

Good afternoon Mr. Botero, The refund has been made, please review your email and thank you for calling us dishonest instead of calling us to see what the error was. Gustavo Iniesta, G.M.

We came in on a Friday during lunch time for Restaurant Week (Summer, 2023). Staff were professional, welcoming and attentive. The interior is simple, clean and classy. The cold tapas we had were refreshing and the hot tapas were savory and filling. The desserts were great, not overly sweet and very satisfying. Overall, food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience at Joselito. Thank you!

Fabulous find -- This has become my go-to restaurant on Capitol Hill. It is ideal for lunches with friends or business associates. It is quiet for conversation, with simple yet elegant surroundings, outstanding food and good service (which is attentive but not obsequious). The $28 fixed price, 3-course lunch is a tremendous value. The only difficulty is the restaurant is hard to find. It is located on Pennsylvania Ave SE between 6th and 7th but the signage is so understated that I walked by it dozens of times and never noticed it. It is a hidden gem between District Taco and Le Pain Quotidien.

Poor management. Parts of the bar look like a storage space. Staff congregate at back of restaurant rather than attend the bar or tables. Half the diners are put into a separate room with very load AC unit, kills the atmosphere in the main section. Menu is lacking and over prices.

Hi! We went there for my friend’s birthday! They never brought the cake and candle (I asked them in person two times) And the restaurant is very boring and quite for Friday night! ( no music !!) I would say go there for just a brunch since the food quality was good (small portions)

This place is AMAZING, from the Sangria to dessert. As a group we ordered various fish dishes (and one duck) and everything was cooked perfectly. The Arroz caldoso with its various types of seafood was remarkable in that the clams, mussels and shrimp amongst it all were sweet, tender and fantastic. They have a very congenial atmosphere, sometimes the wait staff can be a little quiet but very, very attentive. We will be returning that's for sure!

Joselito is fast earning a reputation as one of the two or three best restaurants on Capitol Hill and a top place to eat in Washington DC. Their menu, offering small, medium, and large alternative portions of most dishes, maximizes choice. The preparations are imaginative, but what impresses one most is how well they do traditional offerings like Gazpacho (the best in town!), seafood dishes, and flan. Their wine list is excellent and the sangria is actually drinkable! The service is authoritative, friendly, and efficient. Grandes elogios por Joselito!

Originating service was a bit slow as we waited for quite a while after being seated. Eventually, I caught the bartenders eye and he came to the table so we could order wine (we would have had a cocktail first, but again, waited 15 minutes to get service after being seated). When we did get a server, she seemed annoyed with us for some reason. The food and ambiance are always great.
