History

Established in 2009.

Latin Bites started as a catering business in 2009 under the management of owners Chef Roberto Castre, General Manager Rita Castre and Beverage director Carlos Ramos. In the summer of 2010 Latin Bites got established in a tiny restaurant at the corner of Nance Street in downtown. Eventhough the restaurant was small it received great reviews from some of the most recognized food critics in Texas such as Alison Cook, Patricia Sharp and John DeMers. Latin Bites found an oportunity to expand in to a larger space that allows them to serve their ever-​growing customer base. The new restaurant, located in Tanglewood area, features a larger dining room, a cebiche bar, a pisco bar, a patio and private room. The year of 2014 so far has also been another great year for the company and it is also the year Latin Bites decided to make a change and expand from Peruvian Restaurant to Latin American and to also be part of one of the first Latin restaurants to start a new and trendy sharing style concept.
