Starting an Empanada Empire w/ Latin Bites

Nicole Izquierdo has deep memories of her grandmother making empanadas in Colombia for the family before moving to the United States, and that recipe is so great that, just a few months into dating, Julio De Silva encouraged her to start a business! That has evolved into the Latin Bites food truck that Nicole and Julio now operate together, introducing Omaha to the brilliance of Colombian cuisine. Hear their story and learn more about the realities of food truck life in our great conversation!

If you've never tried Colombian food, this episode might be your sign.

And if you've never tried Latin Bites? Dan has a few recommendations: empanadas, salchipapas, and those massive arepas. 🌮🔥
