About Coyo Taco
Address: Central London — Orchard Place, SW1 (1 minute from St James's Park station)
Coyo Taco started as a little taco shop in Wynwood, Miami in 2014 and is now a global brand with sites across the US, Portugal, Paris, Panama and the Dominican Republic. London is next.
Our motto is simple: todo es fresco — everything fresh. Tortillas hand-pressed daily. Guacamole smashed to order. Proteins responsibly sourced. We do modern Mexican street food properly, in a place that's loud, friendly and fast — with a late-night bar tucked away once the kitchen winds down.
This summer we open our first UK site in central London. We're putting the team together now — and we want energy, hands-on attitude and people who genuinely love hospitality.
The role
This is the role that makes Coyo, well, Coyo. As a Team Member you're on the floor — greeting, taking orders, running food, clearing, resetting, smiling, helping. We don't believe in stiff service; we believe in fast, friendly, and being properly present with every guest.
