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.

The chips and salsa was amazing. I’m normally a brown liquor girl. But the server suggested this girly drink called the pretty boy. It was phenomenal.

Steak tacos were to saucy and the burritos were more like cheese burritos. Drinks are overpriced. Customer service was great.

This is the first time that I am not happy about my visit. They messed up my order and when they came with the replacement they were missing half of the ingredients. The server never check if I was happy with the replacement.

The food and the ambiance was on point. Great Spanish music, loud enough to get you in a good mood and the food was fenomenal. Maybe the place is under new management, but they finally got it right. I will visit again, A+++

We were running late so I called and they had no problem moving our reservation time 30 minutes. We were so grateful as we were going to a concert and knew it would be very busy. Seated promptly when we arrived (place was packed). Our server Deidrick arrived and apologized for the delay with a sincere smile and delivered great service to our party of five. Everyone loved their drinks and food was delish! Second time here and will certainly be back!

Server not the best. She disappeared for about 20 minutes. Had to finally ask someone else to get me a refill on my tea. Ordered the 3 app….salsa, guacamole and queso with chips. Queso was cold. Chips were great however. Guac was on the bland side. Salsa good. Did not receive rice and beans with one order but couldn’t find server, so by the time she came back to table, our tacos were already eaten. Told her not to charge for the rice and beans….got bill, did not remove charge. So had to wait for her to fix the check. Food is overpriced for the quality. First time here and don’t see myself returning.

The food tasted great (chicken tacos, chips & salsa), and I loved being able to order a “flight” of margaritas to decide which one I liked the most. Service was great and food temperature was perfect. Highly recommended!

NO LONGER SERVING BRUNCH! MOTHERS DAY RUINED Would have been nice to know that they no longer serve brunch. Their OpenTable profile needs to be updated. I booked under the assumption that the brunch menu was still available, however when we arrived we were told that they no longer have a brunch menu, with the reason being that too many people were abusing the All-You-Can-Drink mimosas. We were literally the only people in the restaurant at 11am, but it still took 20 minutes to even get water to the table.

It’s a great restaurant - but pricey. I was disappointed that the frozen drink machine was broken, because we went there just to get the Izzy Colada, but it was not available.

We have eaten there a few times but, tonight was the worst. Our waiter was very busy taking pics of a group of people which could have easily been done by the 2 girls at front desk. Than one of the hostess came out to tell us our waiter would be out shortly….Never asked or offered for chips to be refilled while waiting as we still had dips to eat. Terrible:(

Customer service was fantastic. Drew I believe that was his name our waiter was great! very knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly overall. This place is ok. The salsa was terrible, street corn was fantastic and the tacos were decent. Was disappointed that they took some dessert items off the menu. Wouldn’t come back to this restaurant unless it’s my last option.

Loved the food here! We had the three amigos as a starter (salsa, guacamole, and queso with chips) which was delicious! Then I had the tofu pineapple tacos and my partner had the spinach and mushroom empanada. The empanadas were amazing! The tofu tacos were refreshing but couldn’t been marinated some more. Will definitely come back!

Started off a little bumpy. We sat down and no server came until I asked host who was our server. Once Carolina came to the table she apologized for not being waited on and all went smoothly. Drinks were amazing, food was tasty although I prefer my food steaming hot but, it was acceptable temp. They validated our parking which covered our time there so it was free. Love the decor and ambiance, will definitely be back.
