Josie’s is hands down the best!!! The staff makes you feel like family and the food is always delicious. Oh and can we talk about Josie’s magical fried chicken???? Oh yes I said fried chicken. It’s the so good! I mean really good! You have to try it. Seasoned to perfection and just that good!
Josie’s is our favorite restaurant and we are thankful for Emma and all the Josie’s crew.

The restaurant was not crowded when we arrived, but filled up a bit before we left. The restaurant was clean and looked nice. The menu was smaller than usual but still had a good variety. I didn’t get much time to look it over as the waitress was trying to hurry to get out order in before a large group got theirs in. I had the Chili Verde Burrito. It was large and very flavorful. I had half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. It reheated very nicely. I’d score the burrito 8.5/10.

Okay… Not sure why I have not been exposed to Josie’s until now. Wow.
Now, I have been to a ton of Mexican restaurants and I have to say that Josie’s is easily top 5.
The homemade tortillas that Josie makes … Forget about it.
Get here!

Came all the way out to Atwater from Brentwood hoping to find some open businesses since they declared themself’s a sanctuary city not much was open but couldn’t go back hungry so Stopped at Josie’s to get some food and it almost made the drive from Brentwood worth it. We ate it picnic style on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and the food was great. This was my first time having carne asada fries and they were awesome. Service was also excellent. When lock down is over I will definitely be back to eat inside
