JoJo's Restaurant

"The ambiance is great!! Wonderful quaint place. Very cute outside setting. String lights everywhere. Outside music. Service was great. Food was bland. Maybe it’s what we got, but the pork sandwich really lacked flavor, the salad was “ok”, and the wings were way too salty. I wanted to like it, I’ve read such great reviews. Because of the ambiance and service I will give this place another try. It really was that great in that respect. I was in Tucson for work so this was a Tuesday night. I would love to try it on the weekends for brunch."

"We were in town for a comedy show and wanted to have a nice visit downtown at this cute spot. The garden seating is super cute especially for a Sunday morning brunch. We were the first patrons, so service was fantastic and were able to seat ourselves. Very quaint and the shops that line the restaurant are super cute but weren’t open. Possibly a Sunday thing. I ordered the Bagels & Lox which were quite tasty with their balsamic salad. Fresh salmon and delicious bagel but slightly overcooked. I would say it tasted better than it looked ha. However, the same can be said for my husband’s biscuit breakfast sandwich. The biscuit itself looked quite dry when they brought it out but he did enjoy it and said the runny egg helped. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere most of all and the warm coffee on a brisk morning."

"Had a great dinner and watched a super talented band play on the patio with the cute pond turtles. The market salad, wings, roasted carrots, almond cake, basque cheesecake were all great."

"Date night a Jojo's was amazing! As you walk down the street or alley, you are met with lights, tables, and lots of greenery. Jojo's is tucked into the Old Town Artisans in the Presidio District. Such a lovely venue for a date! As you walk in from the street, you come into this large lighted outdoor courtyard. The bar (Monsoon Room I think it's called) is to your immediate left before you get to the hostess stand. The bar is indoors, decent sized, with the trunks of the trees growing right up through the building. Because the Artisans are located inside, their shops line the outer boundary of the venue (we went for dinner, so the shops were closed). Looking in some of the windows, you can see many offer a taste of the Old Pueblo and the diverse desert we call Tucson. It wasn't busy on the beautiful Saturday night in October - lots of places having their Halloween parties. However, I would recommend making reservations, as I can imagine a place this pretty would normally be hopping. They do not take reservations for parties of 1 or 2 also. We were seated promptly on the grill/kitchen side. They were having live music that night, and I thought it was very intuitive of our hostess to sit us a bit back from the stage like she did (she seemed to pick up that we were on a date, and would probably appreciate sitting where we could hear each other talk - well done!). Oh, and tables are spaced apart here, which makes romance much easier (since another couple isn't right in your ears). Table service was spot on all night. We wanted to get in all the getting-to-know-you formalities, so we were never quite ready to order. Our server was super patient - thanks for that also! Their dinner menu has many delicious dishes. Nothing looked too snooty or pretentious. There is an emphasis on fresh ingredients and local flavors. We settled on the street tacos. They come 3 to an order. My date ordered the pork tacos, I got chicken (with the intent being we would each get one of the others so we could try both). The tacos come either with corn or flour tortillas. They were generously filled with grilled meat, cilantro, some cheese. Very tasty! Jojo's seems like one of those "nights to remember" kind of places. Beautiful decor, great food, patient and attentive service, lovely people out enjoying a beautiful night out together! I would definitely go back here!"
