The story behind the truck
01The Lopez family
Atanacio and Minerva Lopez worked wherever work could be found—on farms and the railroad—before making their way to Michigan in the 1950s. They built a big family around hard work, humor, cooking, and feeding whoever needed a plate.
02The Garcia family
Emilio and Micaela Garcia traveled north, found railroad work, and settled in Michigan in the early 1950s. Their story carries the same steady ingredients: sacrifice, laughter, family pride, and a hand in raising the next generation.
03Together, LoCias
LoCias joins the two family names and honors the people who made this possible. Cookin’ with Beans carries that history forward with good company, food, and a simple promise to every guest: we made this for you.
