About the Company
At Union Latinos, we bring the heart of Colombia to Vancouver through traditional food, music, culture and unforgettable experiences.
Our restaurant is more than a place to eat, it’s a place where people come together, celebrate, dance, share good food and feel at home.
We’re passionate about showcasing the richness of Colombian culture while creating a welcoming experience for everyone who walks through our doors. From our kitchen to our Front of House team, every person plays an important role in bringing that experience to life.
We believe great hospitality starts with great people. That’s why we’re always looking for passionate, hardworking and positive individuals who want to grow with us and be part of the Union Latinos family.
