Saoco
Saoco Cuban Eats is a Miami-style Cuban café created by Dario Arana-Rojas who won Stall Wars created by Common Plate Hospitality.

Visitors should try the crispy Yuca Fries and Chicken Croquetas fritters. The green sauce paired with both dishes makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Havana.
DC Dosa
DC Dosa’s approach to food was created by Priya Ammu. A native of Bombay, India, Ammu is creative with her dishes because of her daughter’s dietary requirements and being married to a vegetarian. Her experimentation with the flavors and spices she grew up with helped create dishes like Uttapam, a fermented sourdough open-faced dosa with sambar and chutney. She also serves a Sambar soup, a traditional lentil soup with turnips, carrots, onions, and green peppers. For something refreshing to wash it down with, customers can order a Mango Ginger or Sweet Basil Lassi drink.
Yasmine
Yasmine is a Lebanese-inspired kabab shop and more! The idea came from two Michelin Star Chef Gerald Addison and Chris Morgan. Both chefs wanted this to be a Lebanese-inspired experience with thinly shaved shawarma, crisp falafel, and fresh salads, spreads, and sandwiches. Yasmine also has a full bar with wine, and creative cocktails as well as non-alcoholic beverages.
Supreme BBQ/aunteaboba
If you’re looking for a Texas-style barbeque, Supreme BBQ is the stall for you! It was founded by a Filipino-American father and son.
