Hispanic Heritage Month is here!
Fort Collins Aguas Frescas was started by a young Latino couple, with family roots in Mexico and El Salvador, wanting to create something that was special, celebrated our culture, and full of corazón.
Some of our favorite parts of this journey has been watching someone try an agua fresca for the first time and seeing their face light up or when someone takes a sip and immediately says, “This tastes just like how my mom used to make it.”
Those moments mean everything to us and remind us exactly why we started.
And we know we are not the first to do this.
Long before our cart, our logo, or our little business existed, generations of Latino vendors were out there selling food and drinks, building something with their hands, feeding their communities, and creating opportunities for their families. So much of what we get to do today was made possible because people before us kept showing up, often without the recognition, resources, or support that small businesses like ours can access now.
We carry a lot of gratitude for that.
We’re proud to be part of that tradition in our own way, and incredibly thankful for every person who has supported us, showed up for us, learned about aguas frescas, brought their friends back, booked us for their celebrations, and treated our culture with love and respect.
So this Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrate with us, but remember to stand with us too.
Support Latino-owned businesses. Learn our stories. Make space for our culture all year round.
Thank you for letting two Latino guys with a dream build something rooted in where our families come from and creating that version of home right here in Fort Collins. 🌺🤍
