Hola. My name is Jose Amaya and I am the Executive Chef in Houston. I was born in San Miguel, El Salvador. I came to the U.S. in 1985 and began my restaurant career at Birra Poretti’s in Houston. I speak Spanish and English. I was on the opening team in Houston in 1996 and have worked my way up from line cook to Executive Chef.
I am a sports fan and I especially like the Astro’s and Futbol. Canyon Café has been a great experience for me and I look forward to the future.
