Marcela Salas

The Essentials - Founder — BibiSol, 2024. - Origin — Salas arrived in the United States as a young immigrant and turned to the kitchen as a place to connect with her culture and honor the diversity of Mexican cuisine. - Specialty — a different perspective on Mexican food to the plains. The work at BibiSol in Sioux Falls sits inside a matriarchal line of Mexican cooking, with Marcela Salas framing the kitchen around the women whose foodways anchor the cuisine. Since 2024, her role as Head Chef and co-owner has made that lineage part of the restaurant’s public face, not just its backstory.

In Their Words “Since the beginning, it’s always been about how we honor our matriarchal line, since they’re such an important part of Mexican cuisine.”
