JOTORO – Mexican
A corner of Sparkman Wharf with covered patios on two sides and the downtown skyline in the gaps - JoToro bills itself as a friendly neighborhood taco joint that happens to have a Michelin-starred chef, Joe Isidori, behind it. The kitchen leans on wood fire: tacos with fillings that run from Korean-style barbecue to tempura fish, knife-and-fork burritos, Mexico City-style street corn, a grilled Thai watermelon and feta salad. The bar pours craft-batched margaritas and a deep shelf of tequila. Loud, sunny, and entirely unbothered.
