La Josie's is a Mexican restaurant in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington. Established in 2020, La Josie's is a sibling to the restaurant Fogón Cocina Mexicana. The family- and Latino-owned business is LGBT-friendly, according to Seattle Gay News.

Description

La Josie's is a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar Pike Street, on Seattle's Capitol Hill.[1] Described as a sibling restaurant to Fogón Cocina Mexicana,[1] the interior features an LGBT pride flag, pink neon signage, and a Day of the Dead-themed mural by Son Doung (also known as Son of a Gun).[2] The restaurant is gay-friendly and has erroneously been described as LGBT-owned,[3][4] according to Seattle Gay News.[2] KOMO-TV says La Josie's "has a relaxed vibe much like its sibling and focuses on upscale casual Mexican dishes".[5]

Food options have included nachos, pozole, cooked prawns, bacon-wrapped shrimp, sopitos, tacos, taquitos, tortas, tortilla soup, tostadas, and chips and queso.[1][6][7] In addition to tequila, the drink menu has includes horchata and cocktails such as margaritas.[6]

History

In late 2019, Eater Seattle described plans for the team behind Fogón to open a sibling establishment.[8] La Josie's opened in July 2020, in the space previously occupied by Sun Liquor,[9] then East Trading Company.[1][2][10] The business is owned by Noel Cortez and Amparo Ambriz. According to Seattle Gay News, "the allyship demonstrated by this family-owned business is noteworthy". La Josie's has hosted drag shows, participates in an annual fundraiser to raise money for HIV/AIDS services, and displays LGBT pride flags all year long.[2] The restaurant has also been recognized as one of Seattle's Latino-[11] and women-owned establishments.[5][12]
