Michelin Star chef and partner Joe Isidori has created a Mexican mash-up menu inspired by East LA with fabulous Asian twists and turns. Whether it's date night, late night, or your next event, JOTORO is your perfect place. We like to say JOTORO is where mariachi meets old school hip hop. Our bar serves up hand-shaken cocktails, craft-batched margaritas, and over 50 labels of premium tequilas. JOTORO is a full-service, 220-seat eatery that feels like a neighborhood taco joint featuring a comfortable and rustic feel with one of a kind eclectic art designed exclusively for the space. We have created two outdoor covered patios that flank the prime corner of Sparkman Wharf, which is the perfect spot for people watching and dramatic views of the skyline at night.

I introduced a client to Predalina this week, and everyone enjoyed it very much. The food was amazing -- very fresh and unique. I love the aesthetic of the restaurant.

We had an exceptional experience. Going into my reservation I had noted some mixed reviews on the internet. But primarily that service was slow were the complaints. For me that would have been perfect because I'm never in a hurry when I go out to a nice dinner in the evening on the weekend. Service was exceptional. Food was exceptional and the delivery of our orders was timed out perfectly. I'll definitely be back
