About Us

Maria Isabel is a Mexican restaurant rooted in heritage, craft, and community. Our cooking draws from the regional traditions of Mexico, shaped by memory, season, and place, and expressed through the lens of Northern California’s produce and purveyors. The food is soulful and generous, guided by time-honored techniques, vibrant flavors, and a deep respect for where everything comes from.

Our approach to hospitality mirrors the kitchen. It’s warm, human, and intentional. We believe restaurants are built by people first, and that the best work happens when a team grows together, sharing knowledge, responsibility, and pride in what we create for our guests.

  • Maintain a professional appearance and positive attitude.
  • Follow all health, safety, and service standards.

  • Strong attention to detail and sense of urgency.
  • Ability to work mornings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Team player with good communication skills

  • Comfortable working in varying conditions, including noise, lighting, and temperature changes
  • Navigate stairs, slick surfaces, and all kitchen areas safely
  • Travel between San Francisco locations as needed
What We Offer

  • A supportive, growth-oriented environment with structured professional development
  • A culture rooted in craftsmanship, collaboration, and respect
  • Consistent scheduling
