A family business built with love. Cauca's Fritanga — 3 years bringing papas rellenas, rellena, and the flavors of Santander and Cauca straight to Dallas. So Freshy — Puerto Rican-inspired piña coladas with fresh ingredients and a "Vacation in a Cup" vibe hitting DFW for the first time. 💃 Featured Guest: Alexander Gutiérrez aka Alex Benz — Barranquilla's own champeta dancer and cultural ambassador, sharing what it means to see Colombian culture celebrated in Texas.
