Mike and Jenna Fernandez, who started the Mexican food truck Tres Mijas in 2022, have a new venture. It is a new restaurant of the same name taking over the space at 21 Bay Street in the heart of Glens Falls.
“We had a few hurdles, and now we are very happy in our new location,” Mike said.
Fernandez said he has always been in the service industry, including eight years in the bar industry. Jenna teaches sixth grade at Glens Falls Middle School. The city has been the couple’s home and the place they are raising three daughters, for whom the food truck and restaurant are named.
Like the food truck, Tres Mijas restaurant will offer from-scratch menu items featuring recipes from the Fernandez family.
“It’s a style of Mexican cooking not seen around here,” Fernandez said. “These are recipes from my Dad, who is from Mexico, and my Mom, who learned from his family.”
“Mexico is a big country with a wide variety in styles of cooking from different regions,” he said. “For example, the way my family makes mole sauce has different ingredients than what you would see in Mexican restaurants around here.”
