About Us
ONE PLANTAIN AT A TIME
Hi! I'm Andy. Born and raised in Manhattan. I was inspired by my earliest memories of large family gatherings that filled the house with music and great food. Developing a deep appreciation for food at an early age, I noticed that the time it takes to create a meal for someone, is directly related to the appreciation they have for you. I was tired of restaurants and food carts in the city providing tasteless and uninspired food that did not satisfy my taste buds or my stomach. I walked away feeling full... yet still empty.
I had the idea early on for a food truck. “Nacio’ para tener un negocio”, my mom always says. She has seen Andy run and develop businesses from an early age. Winning awards in previous positions for my efforts in performance, sales, and as an operational manager, I am well suited to take on this passion project! With lots of encouragement from my friends and family I made up my mind to create what you know today as Santana’s "The Original Mini Food Truck". I seemed to have the operational part down but I was missing my puzzle piece. Then, along came Amy. We met and quickly discovered that we both had a love for Latin food and culture. Here were two people filled with love for each other and a food truck dream.
Hi! I'm Amy👩🦰 and I have been cooking since I was “helping” in the kitchen at a young age. I credits my earliest memories with spending time in the kitchen with my extended family, watching my mom and dad put together family dinners each night and baking with my grandma Dot. Inspiration seemed to waft from the kitchen each time someone went near the stove.
I am is a feisty Jersey born girl with a history of living all around L.A. and Miami. Over the years I have fallen in love with Latin culture from its food to its dancing! So soon after Andy and I met, we decided to combine our love of good flavor and hospitality, to give it our all and start a food truck- together!
