• Contemporary Mexican • Tampa
Booked 27 times today
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.

    Wow...what a place! Meat Market was packed on Friday night so I was glad we had reservations. The front staff was super friendly, even though they were completely slammed. Our reservation was right on time and our server, Holly, was lovely! Even though the place was packed, she treated us like she didn't have anywhere else to go - answering questions, helping with selections and taking our order. The food was fabulous too! I look forward to going back soon!

    Fabulous food and beautiful atmosphere. Service with Simon and the General Manager were Andrew very attentive. Prices were high (everywhere is) but for this special occasion it was worth it. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas Eve luncheon 🎄✨🥰
