Chef / Chef de Partie — Pacho Taqueria
Mexican cooking. Market energy. Mainly daytime hours.
Pacho is an independent taqueria inside Prahran Market. Slow-cooked birria, carnitas, house-made salsas and breakfast tacos are at the heart of what we do. Our kitchen is open, service is lively, and the care behind the food matters.
We’re looking for an experienced chef who enjoys cooking, keeps a kitchen organised and helps the people around them work well.
You might be a strong Chef de Partie ready for more responsibility, or an experienced chef who enjoys a small, hands-on kitchen. We’re looking for someone who wants to settle into the role, build their leadership skills and grow with Pacho.
What we offer
The role
You’ll cook alongside the team, take ownership of your section and help keep the kitchen running smoothly from prep through clean-down.

About you
You have solid experience in a busy professional kitchen and can run a section independently. You taste your food, think ahead and take pride in getting the details right.
Mexican cooking experience is welcome. Strong fundamentals, a good palate and willingness to learn our methods matter most.
You enjoy sharing your knowledge and treat colleagues with respect. We’ll train you properly, and we expect reliability, care and ownership in return.
The roster
Full-time hours with two days off each week. Daytime shifts are rostered within a 7 am–5 pm window, with occasional evening events. Weekend availability is required.
