A Cuban family in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, shared their inspiring story of perseverance and hard work by selling bread with roasted pork and desserts in the streets.
"This is my story, a Cuban with a dream, with a need, but with much faith," expressed Aldo Milanés, the protagonist of this inspiring tale, in a video posted on TikTok (@aldomilanesz).
With dedication, they were able to make progress and grow their business: “I was able to buy another breadbasket, a bit bigger. Thank God my family is here with me now,” he remarked with emotion, as he gradually succeeded in reuniting with his wife and daughter.
The business was gradually equipped: “Then we bought a table, a thermos, added soda, and made rice pudding,” he detailed, mentioning how a generous gesture from a friend who gave them an umbrella helped them shield themselves from the sun and rain.
The solidarity didn't stop there: “Another brother gifted us this nice shirt with the design of our logo. Thank God we now have our personal brand,” he emphasized.
The family business is called "Q’Rico Asere," and it has received support from friends such as Eliette, Roberto, Marlon, and Girasol, whom they publicly thanked: "Thank you for your contribution, thank you for your support."
The Cuban, a brave entrepreneur with a big heart, shared an emotional video in which he is seen distributing bread with roast pork and soft drinks to children at a traffic light on a street in Nicaragua, a gesture that reflects his generosity and commitment to the community.
"It was amazing, a very good experience. Many people were there looking for their bread and claiming their sodas. It seemed as if they had been notified that someone was coming to give them away," he noted.
In an interview with a local channel, the young Cuban entrepreneur shared that, in addition to selling their products on the street, they have started offering a delivery service to reach more people. “Soon, soon, soon,” he assured when asked about the initiative, emphasizing that they are working on it so that customers can enjoy their treats from home.
The business offers fresh, made-to-order products, such as bread with roast pork and rice pudding desserts.
The entrepreneur explained that, in addition to roast pork sandwiches and rice pudding, they also offer pickled cucumber and local coffee. Despite being a simple offering, it aims to maintain an authentic flavor without being overwhelmed by other tastes. "It's just the roasted meat with pickled cucumber," he elaborated.
The young man highlighted the support and response from the community, noting that people from other departments have even traveled to try his products. “We have provided our contact information to many customers... so that when I arrive, they’re assured of their bread,” he remarked, emphasizing the importance of ensuring quality service for his clients.
For those interested in trying the pork with bread and desserts, the entrepreneur recommended visiting his stand, located near the House of Workers, next to the Palí supermarket on 27 de Mayo Street in Managua.
This is not the first time a Cuban has made a name for themselves in Nicaragua by selling the traditional food of the largest Caribbean nation.
Jans Plasencia García is another young Cuban making his way in Managua by selling the traditional pork sandwich, which has been well-received by the locals, reported VOS TV.
Plasencia, a professional chef from Cuba, dreams of opening his own restaurant in Nicaragua dedicated to the cuisine of his homeland.
He reported that among his clients are his fellow countrymen who enjoy his products, driven mainly by nostalgia.
It is common for Cubans to lean towards the food sales business as a way to start their ventures.
Two Cuban women living in Tampa, Florida, who have been in the United States for just two years, took the plunge to start a food truck. They have shared their experience on social media to inspire other fellow countrymen.
One of them, who also acts as the "host" in each episode published on TikTok (@lacalientefoodtruck), explained that this is a story of resilience: “After just two years in the United States, we started our own food truck business in Tampa.”
In Louisville, Kentucky, some Cubans have caught attention by selling homemade tamales for two dollars, and the video is already circulating on social media.
In the clip shared by @Elpepillazo_oficial, a woman can be seen enthusiastically calling out "Tamaaaales..." as she sells Cuban tamales on the street alongside a colleague.
