A robust and creative menu highlights heirloom ingredients with a modern twist – a raw bar, guacamole with king crab, a la carte tacos and shareable plates like Tomahawk Ribeye and Whole Grilled Fish. Bright agave-forward tequila and mezcal cocktails dovetail with interconnected dining rooms, eclectic interiors and legendary south-of-the-border hospitality. Because at its heart, El Presidente is about the theater of going out.

  • Opportunity for Career Advancement and Professional Growth 

                                         
Qualified candidates will have:

  • Previous experience as a Host in a well-rated and/or busy restaurant
  • Experience with seating and/or reservation systems
  • Personable & professional demeanor
  • Responsible & timely, strong work ethic
  • Willingness to take direction, team player
  • Open availability - highly preferred
