About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Dog-friendly
  • Good for groups
JOTORO Kitchen + Tequila Bar is located at Sparkman Wharf in downtown Tampa. 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.

    Food was great. Atmosphere was fun for a group of 6 reuniting! My only complaint was our server would leave mid sentence and would not let us finish our order. We ordered an appetizer and she walked away before we could even continue to ask for what else we wanted. Then it would take her a while to come back so the overall dinner took a lot longer than we wanted.

    The place was almost empty but our waiter did not provide a good level of service. Had to wait a while to put in our order, he was nowhere to be seen and had to flag him down to order our food. The food was okay, quite expensive but the birria quesadilla was 10/10.

    We were a group of four. As a starter, definitely get the guac. It’s heavenly and the chips are oh-so-fresh. Two of us had fajitas and they were outstanding. Also a burrito and a burrito bowl. But if you have enough room, do not pass up the fried ice cream.
