A Bite of Mexico - A Family Story

A BITE OF MEXICO - A FAMILY STORY
Ours is a story of family, tradition, and entrepreneurship. Founded by Rick Barba, A Bite of Mexico honors and builds on his family roots. Our chef, who helms the kitchen, has developed a selection of recipes inspired by the family's authentic Mexican roots and cooking methods.
Guests can sample unique takes on classics – many of which were perfected and passed on by family members who prepared feasts for gatherings large and small.
From Aunt Caroline’s famous crispy fried tacos (Tacos Dorados) to Aunt Jenny’s slow-roasted Pork & Pepper, the menu mirrors the family’s food-centric legacy of slow-cooked meals and sauces made with fresh ingredients and homemade tortillas. Rick has built various businesses and raised his family in the Mokena area.
