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.

Third time visit. A restaurant I can get a table prior to the 7 pm hockey game at the Amalie Arena, a short 10 minute walk. Wait staff in full black. Pretty classy. We keep the meal reasonably priced by ordering a small plate and a pasta dinner. Plenty of food for us. Highly recommend the pirogies small plate. Delicious.
