Chef de Cuisine

Adelita in Concord, Massachusetts is looking for a disciplined, hard-working, and experienced candidate for Chef de Cuisine to work with our Executive Chef Charlie Foster. Candidate must enjoy a fast paced kitchen and love working with our farm and local farmers.

About the Restaurant : Adelita is a Mexican restaurant located in Concord, Massachusetts. It is focused on from scratch production, local sourcing, and the use of the best possible ingredients.

The Kitchen at Adelita is a fast-paced environment where everything is prepared daily from scratch. From fresh tortillas cooked to order, to building our own “trompo” daily for our al pastor tacos, Adelita takes no short cuts in the preparation of authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine.

We are dedicated to supporting our community, local farmers and our team members through equitable work hours, fair compensation and a respectful team oriented work environment.
