Job Details

Affiliated with STARR Restaurants, El Presidente is a festive, neo-retro Mexican eatery anchored inside Washington, D.C’s newly-developed Signal House. 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.

  • Dining Discounts at over 25 Affiliated STARR Restaurants 
  • Opportunity for Career Advancement and Professional Growth

  • Excellent communication, critical thinking, and decision-making skills  
  • Experience hiring, training, and mentoring a diverse hourly FOH staff   
  • Proven ability to work well under pressure and adapt quickly to change  
  • A positive and self-motivated disposition with a commitment to excellence and team success
