Refinery

So happy to try the Refinery at Joya Towers which opened last May 2014.

It’s owned by 3 families – 4 pretty Tenchavez sisters ( daughters of Tito Bob Tenchavez of Tender Bobs, Kettle and Fireside and sisters of Bobby Tenchavez of La Cabrera – they are 7 kids all starting with the letter B 🙂 ) – Billie Tenchavez- Reyes, Berry Tenchavez- Stehmeier, Bea and Bernice. 3 Ortanez brothers ( not in photo)

Christian, Jhoven, and Raymond and the Bodegon couple Chef Hatch Bodegon with his wife Ro Cortez Bodegon who handles operations. Chef Hatch is 34 years old. He was Batch 4 of Chef Gene Gonzales school in 2003 where he learned to cook. He became pastry chef in new world for 2 years then started his own catering and opened F Word restaurant in 2007 and now he is the chef behind the yummy dishes at the Refinery Whew! That’s a lot of brains, beauty, talent, and creativity joined together. Come on over and try all the beverage concoctions and delicious food. There are many new dishes and drinks so come on over anytime from 7am to 12 noon

The Refinery is not only a restaurant cafe – it’s an all day bar with all kinds of drinks from 7am to midnight – Teas, coffee, beers, wines etc
