March 19, 2019
Food trucks are nothing new in Miami's Little Havana, where a bodega on wheels serves regular customers daily. The husband-and-wife team of Arturo Tamayo and Nancy Hernandez, who emigrated from Cuba as teenagers, buy fresh produce at various produce markets beginning at 4 a.m. and deliver food to regular customers, including a senior center, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The truck carries batidos, smoothies made from shaved ice and fresh mango, along with papaya, pineapple, melons, calabaza squash, black-spotted plantains, black beans, garlic bulbs, malanga, yuca, boniato roots, green plantains, ripe plantains, Homestead Tommy Atkins mangoes and chayotes. The truck also carries cans of Goya tomato sauce, evaporated milk and plastic bottles of dry, white cooking wine and other items.
