Churro Maker in La Habra, California at El Moro USA

The Opportunity: Step Into History
At El Moro, we don’t just serve food; we serve a 90-year-old Mexican legacy. We are looking for a Churrero to be the "Keeper of the Tradition" and the most critical role in our kitchen.

You aren't just a fry cook—you are an artisan. You will be responsible for executing El Moro’s proprietary 1935 recipe, transforming simple ingredients into our iconic, golden-brown signature product. Balancing the art of dough making with the exact science of frying, you will ensure every single churro that hits the window meets our strict Siempre Intachable (Always Impeccable) standard.

If you have a passion for precision, a love for Mexican hospitality, and the grit to thrive in a high-volume kitchen, you belong on our line.

What You Will Do (The Craft)
Master the Dough: Mix our proprietary dough to the exact texture and consistency required, adhering strictly to the 1935 recipe without deviation.

The Perfect Fry: Operate the churro extruder with precision to create our iconic star-shaped loops. You will manage the oil temperature and frying process to achieve the perfect crisp, golden-brown exterior and soft, warm interior.

Own Your Station (Siempre Preparado): Keep your mise en place tight. Maintain a spotless, "clean-as-you-go" station, monitor your inventory (flour, oil, sugar), and ensure you are always ready for the rush.

Be the Quality Gatekeeper: You are the final set of eyes. You plate with intention, season perfectly with cinnamon and sugar, and ensure no broken or undercooked product ever reaches a guest.

Drive the Energy (Siempre Positivos): Communicate clearly with the Front of House, accommodate special requests with a "never say no" attitude, and bring positive energy to the kitchen floor.

Who You Are
The Perfectionist: You reject mediocrity. You take immense pride in the visual and taste perfection of your food.

The Cool Head: You stay calm under pressure and can manage the rhythm of a high-volume rush without losing organizational control.

The Student of the Craft: You view cooking as an art to be honed (Siempre Avanzando) and welcome feedback to perfect your technique.

What You Bring to the Table
Experience: 2+ years in a bakery, pastry, or high-volume fry cook role preferred. Experience working with dough and precision cooking is a huge plus!

Skills: Ability to follow strict recipes, basic math for scaling and inventory, and conversational proficiency in English and Spanish (highly preferred).

Certifications: Valid California Food Handler Card (or the ability to obtain one within 30 days).

The Hustle (Physical Demands): Ability to stand for up to 8 hours in a warm, fast-paced commercial kitchen. You must be comfortable working near hot oil and commercial equipment, and able to lift/carry up to 50 lbs (bags of flour, oil containers).

Why El Moro?
We are a growing brand that believes in Siempre Avanzando (Always Advancing). We offer a dynamic, supportive environment where your craft is respected, your positive attitude is celebrated, and your career can grow as we expand across the US.
