Originally from Coahuila, Mexico, Villa moved to Fort Worth over 20 years ago. She has spent several years working as a housekeeper, but with push from her husband, Villa opened up her own food truck side business, Doña Cuca Tacos y Gorditas, in January 2020. The recent launch of the Northside Community website is giving her and other local businesses a platform to outreach even further.
