Sometimes life is circular in motion — just ask Tiffany Turnbull.
For 30 years, Revere’s Mexican Restaurant was a favorite destination for residents of Oxford and Orion.
It was started, owned, operated, closed and then reborn in Lake Orion (behind the Taco Bell on the west side of M-24, south of Heights Road) under the direction of Larry Laidler. When Turnbull was 15 she started cooking in Revere’s kitchen.
Today, she has found her niche in the world. Her life, has come full circle. While she still cooks, she’s no longer just the cook of Revere’s. You can now call her, ‘owner.?
‘I love it,? she says. ‘I love cooking. I love it when people come in and say, ‘it smells really good in here.? I love working with the public. I love joking with the employees. I love it.?
With the backing of her parents, Brad and Debbie Bertram, Turnbull took over ownership of Revere’s a year ago.
‘Business has been good. It’s been a good experience. We see new customers all the time and people — customers from the old Revere’s — come in from all over once they hear we’re back in business,? she said.
And, while ownership has changed, the recipes and customer favorites for the carry out restaurant are still the same (nachos, titanicos and the burrito supremes).
During the past year, Turnbull and her staff of five have made cleanliness a priority, and she is proud to say, Revere’s has received perfect scores from county health inspectors.
Future plans for Revere’s are to expand for dining-in ‘Everybody is requesting it,? she said.
Revere’s is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and on Sunday, from noon to 9 p.m.
Delivery in the Orion-Oxford area is free for orders over $30. Turnbull also can cater a party of event with two or three days notice.
