Our Story

More Than a Meal, It’s a Mexican Experience

At Talavera, we’re not just serving food—we’re sharing a piece of our heritage. Though our restaurant is new, we bring over 25 years of experience in crafting authentic Mexican flavors and creating welcoming dining spaces. As a family-owned and operated restaurant, we’re proud to introduce the rich culinary traditions of Mexico City to the Long Lake and Orono communities. From choriqueso and tortilla soup to sopes and our iconic Big Long Lake Burrito, every bite tells a story of tradition, passion, and quality ingredients.

Our Mission

At Talavera, our mission is simple: to bring people together through the vibrant flavors of Mexico. We use fresh, time-honored ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations, ensuring that every dish is made with heart and authenticity. Here, you’re not just a guest—you’re part of the family.
