Caracas Empanadas is a Madison favorite rooted in Venezuelan tradition. Founded in 2010 by Luis de Dompablo, the business brings the flavors of his childhood to Wisconsin through hand-made empanadas and arepas based on his mother Rosa’s recipes. Each crispy empanada and gluten-free arepa is filled with choice-cut, locally sourced meats and fresh ingredients, slow-stewed in traditional seasonings and finished with house-made sauces like spicy Pique and herbaceous Guasacaca. The business has earned a loyal following over the past decade at local markets, major festivals, and special events throughout the region. Owner: Carlos Aguilar and Luis Aguilar

Caracas Empanadas Y Más joins nine previously announced businesses in the inaugural cohort:

Caracas Empanadas es un favorito de Madison con profundas raíces en la tradición venezolana. Fundado en 2010 por Luis de Dompablo, el negocio lleva los sabores de su infancia a Wisconsin a través de empanadas y arepas hechas a mano, basadas en las recetas de su madre, Rosa. Cada empanada crujiente y arepa sin gluten se rellena con carnes de primera calidad, de origen local, e ingredientes frescos, guisados lentamente con sazones tradicionales y acompañados de salsas caseras como el Pique picante y la Guasacaca herbácea. A lo largo de la última década, el negocio ha construido una fiel clientela en mercados locales, grandes festivales y eventos especiales en toda la región. Propietario: Carlos Aguilar y Luis Aguilar

Caracas Empanadas y Más se suma a nueve negocios anunciados previamente en la cohorte inaugural:

“Madison needs this Public Market. It’s an important opportunity for our children of color to have a place where they can go and see many other people of color owning businesses and finding success in our city. I’m excited to welcome our kids to the Market where we can teach them about business ownership. The Public Market is a place we’ll all be proud of.” - Judy Cooper, owner of QB's Magnetic Creations, a MarketReady participant
