About Us
Cartel Tacos is a fast-paced, high-energy restaurant group serving modern Mexican in Canberra. With summer around the corner, we're looking to grow our Belconnen team.

* Responsible for cleaning, organisation, and stock rotation.
* Transport stock between our Queanbeyan and Belconnen venues using the company's refrigerated vehicle (full driver's licence required).
