A refreshing Guava Lemonade brings flavors of Mexico to downtown Buckeye.
rooted in its culinary traditions. Known for its vibrant flavor and cultural significance, guava connects Estrada’s heritage to her largely Parisian menu. Rooted in community For Estrada, the Buckeye community has become an extended family. “The people here made me feel like I belonged,” she said. “This isn’t just a food truck — it’s a family.” The sense of community extends to her husband, who has been instrumental in helping Estrada bring the CrepeLatte vision to life, she said: “He painted the interior, raised the setup. He’s been there every step of the way.” While Estrada takes on most of the day-to-day responsibilities, from crafting recipes to managing social media, she acknowledged it’s a team effort. “Nobody else does it—it’s all me and my family,” she said with a laugh. “But I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Challenges and dreams Running a food truck comes with its share of challenges, from long hours to the physical demands of the job. But Estrada takes it all in stride. Estrada said she finds immense fulfillment in her work, sharing how rewarding it feels to see customers enjoy what she’s created. She said she dreams of one day opening a brick-and-mortar café, a permanent home for CrepeLatte. “It’s expensive, but it’s my dream,” she admitted. “I want to create a space where people can come and feel at home, just like they do now.” For now, Estrada said she is focused on making CrepeLatte the best it can be while on four wheels. She’s constantly experimenting with new flavors and listening to her customers’ feedback. “I want to keep growing, keep learning,” she said. “That’s what this is all about — bringing people joy and creating something special.”
