Our Story
Brujas Aguas Frescas is the brain-child of Joannie (pronounced Joe-Annie) Villegas and her supportive husband, Josue, aka Josh. Together they’re bringing their family recipes, traditions, and Mexican culture to Central New York.
Joannie and Josue are both originally from Houston, Texas, where most of their family still resides. They moved to Syracuse in December 2016. After a layoff in 2024, Joannie, encouraged by Josh, decided to stop talking and dreaming about opening a business and finally do it. The universe must have agreed because Brujas was featured on Syracuse.com twice for her first event, Taste of Syracuse 2024, once as a new vendor feature and a second time as part of 20 items tasted in the first hour.
Joannie is a former teacher, Chief Happiness Officer, assistant marketing director, and communications director. Joannie and Josue are parents to 3 amazing sons and one anxious wiener dog, and grandparents to two beautiful human babies and four fur babies. Joannie is a bruja who loves cooking, baking, gardening, writing, and traveling. She loves to talk about her Mexican culture, food, and traditions. Josue is an avid bird enthusiast and movie fan.
You can find Joannie and Josh vending every Saturday and Sunday at the CNY Regional Market, 2100 Park St, Syracuse, New York. Stop by Brujas little purple shed for a tasty treat and a chat.
