Thrift Taco is an East London food brand serving chef-driven Mexican food from our residencies at Howl at the Moon and Great Beyond Brewing. We focus on great ingredients, housemade sauces, strong cooking and creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere without taking ourselves too seriously.

Experience in breakfast, brunch, café, pub, casual dining, street food or independent restaurant kitchens is particularly relevant.
