Fourth Tacos & Tequila Cantina location to open in North Naples

Tacos & Tequila Cantina, a popular local Tex-Mex restaurant with a funky eclectic vibe, will open its fourth location at Founders Square, a mixed-use development located at the corner of Collier Boulevard and Immokalee Road in Naples. In preparation of its opening, the restaurant is currently hiring for all front- and back-of-house positions, with a particular focus on recruiting line cooks.

Newly hired line cooks have a unique opportunity to win a culinary institute scholarship valued at $30,000, courtesy of Tacos & Tequila Cantina.

“I am incredibly excited to launch this scholarship initiative, and there was no better time for it with our fourth location opening just weeks away,” said Kelly Musico, founder of Tacos & Tequila Cantina. “You absolutely can make a rewarding career out of working in a restaurant, and I want to demonstrate just that to this workforce. They’re our future and we have a responsibility to invest in them.”

Scholarship candidates must meet the established criteria, which includes completing 120 days of employment with a minimum of 35 hours per week. More details about the scholarship initiative will be announced soon.

Eligible candidates for all open positions can receive a $500 sign-on bonus. Health, dental, and other benefits are available for employees working at least 32 hours per week. For more information and to apply for a line cook or any other position, email Musico at kelly@tandtcantina.com.

Scheduled to open in early March, Tacos & Tequila Cantina’s newest location will offer the same fresh, local, hand-crafted food, specialty margaritas and exciting atmosphere. It will also include an expansive outdoor seating area, perfect for enjoying tacos and margaritas alfresco both during the day and into the evening.

Musico and her husband, Aldo Musico, launched Tacos & Tequila Cantina in 2013. The original location on Davis Boulevard at Kings Lake Square in Naples quickly became a local favorite and they have since opened two additional locations: Pavilion in Naples and University Village in Estero. In 2019, the Musicos partnered with The Hoffmann Family of Companies to support expansion plans for the unique south of the border restaurant.

Founded in 2013, Tacos & Tequila Cantina has three locations in Naples and Estero, with its fourth location opening in March. The distinctive menu offers fun, unconventional Tex-Mex cuisine and specialty drinks with an Americana flair, using premium ingredients such as fresh local products, authentic tortillas and top-shelf liquors. Eclectic decor, upbeat music, and energetic staff create a lively and festive atmosphere and dining experience second to none. To learn more, visit tandtcantina.com.
