It is not complicated cooking. You heat arepas on the griddle, cut meat that comes already cooked, put the plates together and hand them out. You learn it on your first shift: easy to learn, but fast-paced.

Work a few minutes from home. PARCEROS, the Colombian restaurant in downtown Mérida, will be at the Xmatkuil Fair (stand 36, Mayapán hall) and is looking for 2 kitchen helpers, with or without experience.

If you live in the south of Mérida, even better: San José Tzal, San Luis Dzununcán, Santa Cruz Palomeque, La Guadalupana, Leona Vicario, Dzoyolá, Cielo Alto, Tahdzibichén, San Pedro Chimay, Villa Bonita, Plan de Ayala Sur, Emiliano Zapata Sur, Cinco Colonias, Castilla Cámara or Kanasín. Bus routes R16 and R409 go to the fair.
