About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    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.

    Always have excellent food and service. Drink menu changes seasonal. Haven’t found good drink choices in a while. Most are desert. Excessively sweet.
