Raised on a farm in Guanajuato, Mexico, Chef Adolfo Perez learned early on that the best flavors start at the source. As a child, he learn to cook with tomatoes, chiles, and onions fresh from the earth, harvested the same day, full of life and flavor. That connection to freshness shaped his culinary philosophy; great cooking is about bringing together ingredients that make sense naturally, simply, and soulfully. With over 30 years of experience in the kitchen, Chef Adolfo continues to craft dishes that are both deeply flavorful and universally comforting.

When Chef Adolfo finally set out to open his own restaurant, he had the opportunity to take on an unconventional space – a kitchen tucked inside a gas station convenience store. He would take inspiration from his native Mexico and transform this humble operation into a neighborhood destination for breakfast, lunch and dinner – featuring a solid menu of burritos, “street style” tacos, bowls, tortas, salads and more. Known for his heartfelt approach to Mexican cuisine, Chef Adolfo brings his bold flavors to a new stage at Abernethy’s, expanding his culinary canvas and blending the soul of his restaurant with new expressions of his evolving craft.
