Victor Villa stood in the endzone of Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8, Mexican flag in hand, overcome with emotion as Bad Bunny sang "Baile Inolvidable."

No, no te puedo olvidar

No, no te puedo borrar

Tú me enseñaste a querer

Me enseñaste a bailar

Villa looked up, pointed his finger towards the sky and shouted: "Abuelo! This one's for you! Danny! This one's for you!"

It's been nearly two weeks since Villa, the owner of beloved Northeast Los Angeles taco staple Villa's Tacos, participated in Bad Bunny's record-shattering halftime show at Super Bowl 60 in San Francisco. Toward the beginning of the Grammy-winning artist's performance, Bad Bunny walked through a set modeled after sugarcane fields and was handed the Puerto Rican shaved ice treat known as a piragua. From there, he walked over to a silver taco cart with the name "Villa's Tacos" emblazoned in blue script and handed the piragua to Villa.

The whole interaction lasted less than five seconds, but it was enough to go viral.
