By tapping into the ritualistic flavors of fire and smoke, chefs Alejandro and Alberto Rodriguez are diversifying Mexican cuisine in Colorado.

> Dos Caras is a specialty purveyor at Denver-area farmers' markets including City Park, South Pearl Street, and Highlands Square, where customers can enjoy tacos while selecting take-home tortillas. The business brings authentic Mexican flavors to the farmers market circuit, focusing on freshly made tortillas and traditional preparations.

> Founded in 2011 by brothers Alberto and Alejandro Rodriguez as a corn milling business, Dos Caras began by selling hand-pressed tortillas and salsa macha at Denver farmers markets. In 2024, the brothers expanded their offerings to include ready-to-eat food at their City Park and South Pearl Street stands, serving 'some of the city's most refined Mexican food.' Their menu is updated monthly from May to October, celebrating the farmers market's best seasonal ingredients with dishes like confit-enoki mushroom tacos with smoked bean purée. The Rodriguez brothers also launched Carnitas de Cobre, a pork-only summer pop-up on Fridays, demonstrating their evolution from tortilla makers to comprehensive Mexican food artisans showcasing seasonal produce.
