"Bad Bunny's 13-minute performance was a love letter to the culture, history and legacy of Puerto Rico, with sets depicting sugarcane fields, a house party and even a wedding ceremony, complete with Lady Gaga performing a salsa rendition of her hit Die With a Smile. But in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Highland Park-based taqueria Villa's Tacos made a surprise appearance. The Grammy-award winning rapper stopped at various vendors, including a coco frio stand, a nail tech and a piragua stand."
"Victor Villas, the store's owner, is a first-generation Mexican-American immigrant who first started selling tacos from his grandmother's front yard eight years ago. Today, the store has three locations in the city, including one in Los Angeles's historic Grand Central Market. In an Instagram post, Villas thanked Bad Bunny, whose full name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, for hand selecting me and giving me an opportunity to represent my people, my culture, my family, and my business."
