We’re opening a high-volume, fast-casual kitchen built for speed, precision, and clean execution — and we’re looking for BOH team members who move with urgency, stay organized under pressure, and take pride in putting out consistently great food.

As a BOH team member at Tacos on the Street, you’ll rotate through prep and line stations and support overall kitchen operations. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a tight team in a fast, high-energy environment where every second counts.

This is an ideal fit for someone who thrives in structured, fast-paced kitchens, enjoys physically active work, and wants to grow in a hospitality-driven, team-first culture.
