Line Cook

Description

ABOUT US

Sol Toro is a lively Mexican cantina located in the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. Our menu features innovative twists on Mexican classics. We have a deep lineup of tacos, including a few "off-menu" favorites for true fans. Our tequila offering is extensive, including Cincoro, a premium tequila created by basketball legend Michael Jordan, our business partner. Table-side guacamole and a big "No Bull" sign are just a few of the elements that bring energy to the Sol Toro experience.
