About us

Super Taco is a tiny, vibrant taquería on Crossley Street in the Melbourne CBD, inspired by the taquerías and street carts of Mexico City. It's small and built around fresh tortillas, four tacos made to order, an open kitchen, the salsa bar, and the connection between staff and guests.

About the role

The host at the front counter is the first and last thing every guest sees. You'll welcome people in, take their order, keep them in the loop while the kitchen cooks, call their name inside and then outside, assist the chefs in handing over their food and explain the salsa. When it's busy, you set the mood for the whole room.
