Our Story
Phoenix Coqui began as a love story 3,000 miles away.
In 2013, after traveling on vacation to Puerto Rico for the first time, Alexis fell in love with the island. The Phoenix native, returned to AZ, put in his 2 weeks' notice, sold his car, and bought a one-way ticket to San Juan.
While living there, Alexis met his partner, Juan, and it was love at first sight. Juan, who was born and raised in Puerto Rico, was working as a restaurant manager. Shortly after beginning their relationship, they began making plans to start a business together.
In the fall of 2014, Juan and Alexis moved to Phoenix. Craving the taste of authentic Puerto Rican food and unsatisfied with the options available to them, it wasn’t long before they made plans to combine their strengths to launch a mobile food business.
They saved every penny to turn their dream of launching the first Puerto Rican food truck in Arizona into a reality. It took them 2 years to have their custom food truck built and finally deliver the flavors of Puerto Rico to the valley of the sun.
It was worth the wait. The duo launched their food truck in March 2017 and their business has been growing every year since. In February 2022, they opened their first brick-and-mortar location. They plan to continue expanding to reach even more customers searching for authentic Puerto Rican dishes.
