About Mixteca & Zapoteca
Executive Chef Shannon Bard and her husband Tom Bard opened their first restaurant, Zapoteca Restaurante Y Tequileria, in Portland, Maine in 2011. The mission of Zapoteca is to take deep-rooted, vibrantly flavored Mexican dishes, use a combination of modern and old world cooking techniques and present dishes in a truly unique way.
Growing up in Oklahoma, Shannon Bard and her family would sit together and enjoy large meals prepared by her grandmother and mother. Shannon would join them in the kitchen and spend hours
making vibrantly flavored meals prepared from scratch.
Meanwhile, her father and grandfather, both small farmers, imparted lessons on seasonal produce and the hard work and dedication farmers put into each and every crop.
These early influences inspired Shannon to attend culinary school. Following her training at the Culinary Institute of America in San Antonio, Texas, Shannon, her husband Tom Bard and
long-time friend Sergio Ramos opened Zapoteca Restaurante Y Tequileria.
Mixteca opened in Durham, New Hampshire last year. For more information on the restaurants please visit http://www.mixtecataqueria.com.
