Summary
I have extensive experience working in Mexican and Latin America-inspired restaurants, where I've held multiple front-of-house roles including busser, food runner, bartender, and server. I'm very comfortable in fast-paced, high-energy environments and take pride in providing warm, genuine hospitality while maintaining professional service standards. I have strong knowledge of traditional and modern Latin American cuisine, as well as tequila and other spirits, which allows me to confidently guide guests through food and drink selections. I've built a large base of regular customers through consistent service, strong relationships, and attention to detail, and I bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and engaging personality that helps create memorable dining experiences.
