DOWNERS GROVE, IL (MARCH 2015) After a successful year of serving authentic Latin cuisine to the Western suburbs, Barbakoa is answering the call for more of Chef Dudley Nieto's famous tacos. Barbakoa's updated menu features an expanded selection of inventive tacos, building on authentic Mexican techniques and drawing from global influences, all the while keeping the same favorite dishes that have sent guests' taste buds on a trip through Latin America and beyond.

From French to Mediterranean to Asian fusion, Nieto has created eight new tacos to please all food palates.

For the first-time diners, I want to provide an experience they'll never forget. That's my challenge: to put authentic, yet contemporary food, at the table."

  • Falafel: morita salsa yogurt, fresco cheese & cilantro
