Among the vibrant streets of Miami, a city renowned for its diverse street food and a hotspot for aspiring entrepreneurs, one man's dream to create his own business united with his wife's love for cooking. For years, Eros and Mariale Puentes shared a vision of having a store and building a business together. Since moving to Gainesville and opening the Venezuelan-styled food truck La Maracucha three years ago, the couple's journey has finally led them to opening a brick-and mortar store. After purchasing the trendy ice cream shop Ice Cream and Crêpes Eatery in March this year, the family is working to renovate the downtown Gainesville restaurant and combine it with their existing food truck business and Venezuelan culture.
