About Coyo Taco
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. Margaritas and agua frescas mixed from scratch. 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 You'll work the line on plancha, fryer, salad and store-front stations — all the busy spots where speed and accuracy matter. We do tortillas hand-pressed daily and proteins to order. The Mexican flavours are real; the pace is high; the kitchen is loud and full of energy. Todo es fresco — todo se respeta.
