General Manager

LA CHINESCA

General Manager:

La Chinesca, Philly’s first true Mexicali dining experience opened in the Spring of 2021 in a converted old Jiffy Lube, on the same lot with one of the city’s premier music venues, Union Transfer. Like all 13th Street Kitchens locations, we will trophy local foods with global influence that evolve seasonally, a well curated beverage menu, and a friendly engaging staff.

Our space has outdoor communal and lounge seating in a lush green setting in the front and back of the restaurant, which is roughly three times the size of our indoor foot print making it a one of a kind experience / destination in Philly.

La Chinesca is searching for a highly motivated General Manager to join our team and grow with the 13th Street Kitchens Family.
