Local Legend Eats & Tacotearoa

Location: Muriwai Beach (Auckland West)**

Employment type: Full-time / Part-time – Summer Contract (Nov – Apr)**

About Us

We operate two of Auckland's most exciting street-food brands — Local Legend Eats and Tacotearoa — bringing bold flavours and big energy to festivals, concerts, and events across New Zealand.

Local Legend Eats is a well-known food-truck brand serving legendary burgers, bites, and fries. Since launching in 2022, we've fed crowds at Laneway, Synthony, Northern Bass, Golden Lights, ITM400, and many more.

Tacotearoa is our new street-food venture, with our first city kiosk now open near Auckland's CBD offices. We're serving authentic tacos, burritos, and quesadillas inspired by the real flavours of Mexico — and our growing base of returning customers says it all.

We've recently been selected by Auckland Council to operate both food trucks at Muriwai Regional Park for the upcoming summer season — running from the second week of November through to the end of April, with potential extension depending on demand.

Our Muriwai operation runs Wednesday to Sunday:

Wednesdays: 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Thursday to Sunday: 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Plus occasional sunset services on busy summer evenings.
