Bad Bunny is using the stage to highlight Latino-owned businesses.
On Sunday, Feb. 8, the Puerto Rican singer and rapper, 31, took the stage for a historic 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Bad Bunny became the first Spanish-language Latino artist to headline the event and celebrated local businesses while doing so.
During his performance, the musician, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, walked past several vendor stands before stopping at L.A.’s Villas Tacos.
Performing “Tití Me Preguntó,” Bad Bunny greeted Villa’s Tacos founder Victor Villa, who stood behind the taco cart, according to Eyewitness News.

The restaurant’s founder told Eyewitness News that his business was picked to join the Super Bowl thanks to Bad Bunny being a fan of the restaurant.
“We sold our first taco in the front yard of my grandma’s house in Highland Park more than 8 years ago & I feel that every taco along the way, brought me here,” Villa, who is a first generation Mexican-American, wrote on Instagram. “Today. For this moment! I couldn’t have sold that 1st taco, if my parents didn’t make the difficult decision to leave their homeland for a better life & immigrate to the U.S."
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny was also spotted greeting Toñita's (Caribbean Social Club)’s owner Maria Antonia "Toñita" Cay during his performance.

The video, which was shared on Toñita’s Instagram Stories, captured Bad Bunny collecting a drink from Cay as she stood behind her stand.
Named after its founder, Toñita's is a community-focused Puerto Rican space that serves food and has been operating since the 1970s, according to Interview.
Cay was seen taking a picture with Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, who also made a guest appearance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show by performing the headliner's song "LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii."
Lady Gaga also appeared on the stage to perform a salsa rendition of her hit "Die with a Smile," before Bad Bunny switched to "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" and "NUEVAYoL."
