From Hotel Industry to Food Trailer Dream: Alizaidy's Journey 🇨🇺🚚

When passion meets opportunity, dreams begin to roll—literally.

Meet Alizaidy Mantilla and her family, Cuban entrepreneurs with deep roots in the hotel and culinary world. After many years working in hospitality and running a restaurant back in Cuba, Alizaidy and her husband saw an opportunity to bring their experience and flavors to the streets of the United States through something mobile, flexible, and full of potential: a food trailer.



Taking the Leap with Rent 2 Own Trailers

Starting a business in a new country isn’t easy. Alizaidy admits they weren’t sure how to begin or where to look. But everything changed when they stumbled upon Rent 2 Own Trailers on Facebook. A message to Darío, one of the advisors at R2OT, led to a conversation—and eventually, to a fully equipped kitchen on wheels.

“Primero, gracias a Dios… y después a este equipo de trabajo, en especial a Darío, que fue muy paciente y muy profesional con nosotros.”

It wasn’t just the equipment that impressed them. It was the support, the clear guidance, and the feeling of being treated like family. Rent 2 Own Trailers made it simple, even for entrepreneurs with no credit history in the U.S. By speaking their language—literally and figuratively—they helped Alizaidy take that first big step.



A Dream That’s Just Getting Started

This isn’t just a one-time venture. Alizaidy and her husband are dreaming bigger. They see this first trailer as the beginning of something greater: multiple food trailers, maybe even their own restaurant one day.

“Este va a ser nuestro primer negocio… y quizás en el futuro, con un poco de ambición y el favor de Dios, queremos abrir más tráiler o un restaurante.”

What’s even more inspiring? Their story is already creating a ripple effect. Friends and family are now asking about getting their own trailers. One relative is eyeing a trailer to sell elotes (grilled corn), and others are showing strong interest.

Why a Food Trailer?

A food trailer is more than a business—it’s freedom, creativity, and community. For Alizaidy, it’s a chance to bring a taste of Cuba to new audiences, on her own terms.

Rent 2 Own Trailers offers programs with:

  • Low initial payments

  • Easy weekly installments

  • No credit checks or SSN required

  • Fast approval

  • Support in Spanish (¡Hablamos Español!)

It’s designed for dreamers like Alizaidy—those who have the skills, the heart, and the hustle, but just need a door to open.
