La Chinesca is seeking friendly, genuine support staff members to join our team!

La Chinesca is part of the 13th Street Kitchens restaurant group (Cafe Lift, Kensington Quarters, Prohibition Taproom). Situated in the Spring Arts District, La Chinesca, Philly’s first true Mexicali dining experience, draws its inspiration from the border town in Mexico, Mexicali, where there is a unique combination of Chinese and Mexican cuisine. 

Converted from an old Jiffy Lube, our restaurant shares the same lot with one of the city’s premier music venues, Union Transfer. Our space has outdoor communal and lounge seating in a lush green setting in the front and back of the restaurant, which is roughly three times the size of our indoor foot print making it a one of a kind experience / destination in Philly (200+ seats indoor/outdoor).
