We had the good fortune of connecting with Tumara Arnett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tumara, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
“One thing that many people don’t realize about the food industry is the amount of preparation that goes into creating that one perfect dish or catering event. A well-made dish at a restaurant can take days of meticulous prep work, and while catering may seem like a quick and easy task, it involves extensive planning, organization, and effort. The level of dedication and coordination that goes into ensuring you have an exceptional dining experience is far beyond what you see on your plate.”

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Joselito’s is a family business that has been around since 1977! We are so proud of everything our staff & us as owners have accomplished. The foundation of the family, Jose Grijalva Senior, put his life into the restaurant and it’s our honor to continue it. The Restaurant business is the toughest business there is, but the rewards are endless! if you do your job right, everyone is pretty much happy. We want to be around for a long time & our goal is to expand the current business with more catering and to become a legacy restaurant in Los Angeles.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Joselito’s in Tujunga is a must visit for lunch or dinner. The dishes are made with love and the drinks are fun & unique. There is a beautiful outdoor patio that you can take a mini vacation in. The restaurant is surrounded by local mountains and fresh air.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a Shout Out to the amazing organization Regarding HER. They started in Los Angeles during the pandemic by a mighty group of talented Women in the Restaurant industry. Regarding HER really provides guidance and support to those that need it most, specifically women that struggle in this male dominated industry. This organization really helped me to realize my potential and help me bring our restaurant to life more than ever before. We women are stronger together!
