Administrative Assistant

A West Elsdon neighborhood staple since 2007, Solazo (sister concept to Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient La Josie in the West Loop) re-opened in October 2021 with it's first ever cocktail program, refreshed menu and outdoor patio seating. The updated menu introduces new modern flavors that pay tribute to owner Pepe Barajas’ childhood in Mexico and his family’s puestos de tacos (taco stands). Pepe Barajas and his talented team bring creative and thoughtful dishes influenced by all regions of Mexico alongside some of his family recipes from their home state (and tequila's birthplace), Jalisco, Mexico. Solazo takes pride in it's extensive agave program, which features Raicilla and other agave spirits.

We are offering the opportunity to add an experienced restaurant admin assistant to our Solazo/La Josie team. The ideal candidate will be a motivated, hands-on professional with previous office experience in the restaurant industry.
