Joselito Casa de Comidas is an intimate Spanish restaurant located in the Eastern Market neighborhood on Capitol Hill, but reminiscent of the timeless Old World establishments found throughout Spain. These are also the cafes where luminaries such as Neruda, Hemingway, and Garcia Lorca spent countless hours eating, drinking, and enjoying the beauty of life.
