A new Mexican restaurant and tequila bar is now open in downtown Tampa’s Sparkman Wharf.

Taking over the spot previously inhabited by Hooters, the new JoToro brings a Michelin star chef to Tampa Bay!

Chef Joe Isidori has appeared on Good Morning America, Iron Chef, Beat Bobby Flay and more.

The restaurant will feature indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the highlights on the restaurant’s social media include Margaritas, Glazed Slab Bacon, Piña Colada Sundae and burritos!
