Fish AND Tacos

The Captain Tacos and Sushi

In 2014 the Denver Food Truck Scene was hit with a brand new combination….tacos and sushi!  Gibran Villareal grew up in Mexico in a restaurant family.  Food has been his life as long as he can remember.  His first restaurant in Mexico, Rock and Roll Sushi, put his name on the map and drew the attention of restaurateurs in America.  His journey to Colorado began in California.  This self proclaimed “Cali-guy” saw the potential in the Denver food scene and moved here to start his first food truck.  

Five food trucks (and a wife and two kids) later and “The Captain” has spent the last 10 years building his empire and couldn’t be more grateful to the people and city of Denver!  The Captain's Tacos and Sushi has remained Denver’s only taco/sushi food truck…it’s like getting two restaurants in one!  The food Gibran creates is fresh, delicious, and one of a kind.  You can find The Captain throughout Denver or have him cater your next event…weddings, employee appreciations, or any party is better with tacos and sushi! 

The Captain's menu is filled with mouth watering choices.  If you're in the mood for tacos, try the birria, pork, shrimp, carnitas or veggie tacos or go for The Overboard Loaded nachos.  If you're feeling more in the mood for sushi, The Captain has five different rolls to choose from including the Sushi Redbeard which has cream cheese, cucumber, shrimp, friend sushi and shrimp, and is topped in crazy mayo and eel sauce.  If you just can't decide, try the Captain's Platter with five rolls of your choice!

The Captain isn’t just about incredible food.  He also is deeply committed to helping other food truck owners and start up restaurant owners. He knows how hard the food industry can be and he has created a side of his business to help design, build, restore, and fix food trucks.  Gibran created CKS (Commercial Kitchen Solutions) which sells restaurant supplies and designs custom food trucks. CKS also has a team of techs who can fix food trucks on location.  He wants to share his knowledge and mentor the next generation of food truck owners in Denver.
