About Company





Cartel Taqueria is contemporary Mexican, built around a taco you won't find anywhere else. We already trade in Queanbeyan & Belconnen, & our third venue opens on Wason Street, Ulladulla, on Thursday 29 October. Our kitchen is led by Head Chef Rupert & Sous Chef Kane. We are after two cooks to complete the opening team. We trade Thursday to Sunday, lunch from 12 pm and dinner from 5 pm, with Wednesday as a prep day. Once we're settled, chefs work four days & get three off.

Through the opening period you'll also be in on Wednesdays while the team finds its feet. From Boxing Day to the end of January we're open seven days with extra staff on, so you need to be around over Christmas 2026 & January 2027.
