#2 Luis Talavera
Perch Cantina
My name is Luis Talavera. I am the Executive Chef at Perch Cantina. I grew up in an orchard surrounded by apple and cherry trees just outside the Tri-Cites area. I spent almost every summer of my childhood surrounded by fresh fruit and therefore have a great appreciation for the process that brings food from local farms to our table. My goal is to share that appreciation through the food served at Perch Cantina. At the restaurant, we blend authentic Latin American ingredients with strong technical cooking techniques to bring forth something you can’t get anywhere else! We strive to highlight and honor local ingredients as well as some traditional cooking methods to really push the boundaries and give people an experience they will come back for.
