TaKote is a restaurant and Latin food market in Fort Myers. They were formerly known as Latinos Market but were closed for 15 months due to hurricane Irma in 2017. Their name is a play on the word taco with the suffix -ote, which in Spanish connotes big or in this case, big taco. TaKote, as of this writing, has been open about one month and occupies the former Chamber of Commerce building on San Carlos Blvd.

Before ordering, I noticed the restaurant had a number of interesting salsas made in house. These ranged from salsa verde, a tomatillo based salsa, to salsa roja, made with arbol and ancho chillies.

We also sampled the enchiladas in Mole Sauce from the appetizer menu. Another complex and richly flavored dish, it can be ordered with any of the 15 meat choices available at TaKote, and we decided on chicken. Topped with cotija cheese and onions, and smothered with mole sauce, this dish does not disappoint. This is another highly recommended menu item.

A TaKote bowl was next, which is not a traditional Mexican dish. This is a rice dish that is layered with your choice of meat, pico de gallo, peas and diced carrots and cotija cheese. It was topped with crema, a slightly sour and thickened cream used in Mexico. Although my dining companion didn’t care for it, I thought it was good and something different from the more traditional dishes we had ordered.
