    So, I'm at Launch Pad Brewery in Bennett, CO, and I see this taco truck, The Captain Tacos and Sushi. I'm thinking, "Hell yeah, tacos and beer? Sign me up!" Big. Freaking. Mistake. They toss a grilled jalapeño with every taco order like it's some kind of Michelin-star flex, but it's just a sad distraction from the trainwreck that follows. I dropped $87--yeah, you read that right--on two orders of beef tacos, one pork taco, two quesadillas, and some beef nachos. My wallet's still crying. The beef tacos? Imagine someone grabbed the sketchiest stew meat from King Soopers' clearance rack, slapped it on the grill without a pinch of salt or a shred of dignity, and called it a taco. It was like biting into tough, fatty chunks of regret. My jaw's still sore from the workout. The quesadillas? Oh, man, they took "basic" to a new low. Flavorless cheese, and--get this--the paper they wrapped it in melted onto the bottom. I was peeling it off like I was defusing a bomb. Who screws up a quesadilla? These guys, that's who. For $87, I could've hit Taco Bell, got a feast, and still had cash left for a six-pack. If I could time-travel, I'd go back to the moment I handed over my card, kick myself in the shins, and sprint to the nearest fast-food joint. This wasn't just bad food--it was a full-on life crisis on a plate. Save your money and your sanity. Skip this truck like you'd skip a shady gas station hot dog from QT.

    Five stars for these philanthropic food heroes!! I've spotted this food truck around Denver a few times but hadn't tried it until we were having a charity event at Improper City. These guys had their food truck out back. Our charity event was taking place inside. Long story short, we needed up running out of food for guests pretty early on (and much sooner than we thought we would-- people were hungry!). The gentleman who I presume to be the owner of the food truck, came in and asked about our event. He said we could send people out to his truck and he'd give them some sushi. This gentleman didn't ask for compensation, what an incredible business owner with a good heart! Of course, we encouraged our folks to tip if they could, so I hope most of our folks bought additional items from the truck or tipped a few bucks. Toward the end of the event, I was able to go grab some sushi for myself. And it was BOMB! So good, had a nice spicy kick to it, and he gave a generous portion! I'm making it a point that when I see this truck around town to visit them and place an order. What more can you ask for than excellent, tasty dishes, and a kind owner that is giving back to the community without asking anything in return? Definitely check out this spot and support them when you see them in town!

    Hands down some of the best tacos and loaded fries I've ever had. Service was impeccable and order to delivery was very quick. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for them around Denver.

    The best food truck experience in a long time. The truck/kitchen is clean, the owner is kind, and the food is fresh and well-prepared. I don't know what else you could ask for in a food truck. We had the loaded fries while sipping some beers at Odyssey Brewery in Arvada.

    Asada fries!

    My family and I attended the Thornton festival. The Captain food truck was my mother's choice and she ordered loaded asada fries (picture added) and fried sushi! Both courses were DELICIOUS! The sushi was fresh and amazing! Both courses had all the right flavors and the sauce they served on the side was spicy. The gentleman who attend us was sweet and helpful. Highly recommend this food truck you can feel a good ambiance! They had a good variety of options to pick from the menu. Go check them out or see them at the next event! Don't miss out on the foood it's a vibee

    $14 when paying

    Charging approx $2 more per item then what the menu states, as shown in my photos attached to review. Food was expensive to begin with. Quality and portion subpar.

    Sushi platter, chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki

    The food is amazing for a food truck! Got the sushi platter and it was loaded!!! Owner is super dope too! Will definitely frequent. Great option for sushi or tacos especially with covid shutting everything down

    I had heard about this place. I just moved in a few minutes away and decided to come try it at…read morelunch-- I'm so glad I did. It's absolutely authentic, but with an elevated menu that really delivers. We got the chip trio, but you almost wouldn't need it since they have a full salsa bar, including endless pico de gallo and sour cream. But the chips are thick and crunchy and delicious. I tried the taco de birria de chivo (goat) and was truly blown away. The meat is so tender and seasoned so well, you can taste the allspice in it, which is perfect for goat, and so unique to Mexican food. I also tried the al Pastor and the Carne Asada, both were also to die for. I love how they make the taco have a little bottom and give it three sides, to help us fit all the generous portion that they give. They also have several different Agua Fresca's, that you serve yourself and get unlimited refills, including Horchata. It's amazing. I've already come back another time since.

    WHAT TO ORDER | Kiki's Red Tacos…read more This one was a HIT. We're already planning our next trip back. Here's what we ordered: Birria & Cheese Tacos + Consommé -- The must-order. Crispy, cheesy, packed with birria and even better dipped in that consommé. Trio Dip -- Perfect for the table and a great way to start. Carnitas Quesadilla -- Crispy, cheesy and absolutely delicious. Spicy Margarita -- Because tacos + a spicy marg just make sense. And the ultimate review? Kid approved. My kids were literally drinking the consommé straight from the container. If that doesn't tell you how good it was, I don't know what will. THE PICKY B RATING: OBSESSED I'd go out of my way for it -- and apparently so would the kids.

The street taco plate was delicious and you can't go wrong with the carnitas. The Burrito smothered in green chile was also fantastic and the pickled onions and queso Fresca elevated some different notes.

For two people, ordered a set of 3 tacos (2x barbacoa and carnitas) and then another 3 tacos (asada, carnitas, and pastor), birria egg rolls, and a bean, cheese, and rice burrito. Not a big deal but they put all the tacos in one box and I was able to differentiate which 3 tacos that I ordered. This place is super stingy with salsa. They gave me 2 tiny containers for salsa and then when I asked for a couple more, the lady said she could only give me two more. :( Excited to try the food and started off great with a simple bean, cheese, and rice burrito but outside of that everything else was very meh. Not sure how but all the meats were so dry, I ordered braised/slow cooked meats (barbacoa and carnitas). Asada and pastor were okay as well. Everything lacked seasoning and the salsa didn't add much to the tacos either. Birria tacos were also dry and consommé needed salt to be added. Value was not bad at $37.64. Tacos were about $3-3.20 per

    Walk in casually as you go about your day on a sunny afternoon and have a quick Mexican food along…read morewith a refreshing Mexican beer kind of place is how I summarize this place. This long skinny establishment - not necessarily super spacious - can offer you a decent food that you can count on. You don't need anybody to go with - you can be a solo diner because this place is not intimidating in any way. It's that casual. I think this establishment was born in the old Stoney's Cantina space. Whether the place was huge enough to create two businesses (and thus La Loteria occupied half of it), I sort of saw some "remnant" of Stoney's was the impression that I got. Whatever I am correct on this or not, this casual Mex place is all about vivid pastel colored interior where red is mostly dominant. Intriguing murals on walls 360 degrees are quite impressive. Once you are inside, a huge arrow to direct the people to order to their left at the ordering counter. That ordering counter extends all the way where you'll see some bar seatings. The right side of it mostly has tables for small to large groups of people. Like I said, this place is not huge but at the same time, people don't stay long to dine; the turnover is quite quick in a way. The restaurant also gets many walk-in to-go order placers as well. I got me the Aztec Bowl for to-go. This dish is only $11 (as of early May of 2025) and is a vegetarian item. I consume a lot of vegetarian diet and yet my instinct loudly spoke to me to add some protein to it. Whether or not you can keep it non-meat to stay in the vegetarian zone, adding some protein to this dish is a must as if it was by itself, it would be a bit boring because it only has some greens and some slices of avocado. As the add-on, I got me the carne asada ($5.00) that comes with rice. Not bad.. I didn't eat it right after I got home; I meant to get it to eat it the next day which I did (this AM.) It was still fresh where nothing tasted stale. The carne asada was well-cooked with seasonings. In other words, it wasn't salty at all but held good flavors. Now on the receipt, I saw a charge of what's called "takeout service fee" which is 18%. I kind of assumed that this was mostly the mandatory gratuity. At the end of the card transaction, I remember that the different gratuity percentages were listed on the machine and they were quite small because of this fee. It'll be up to you to add more if you wish. Some people might complaint about this mandated system and yet I kind of understand that businesses nowadays must survive by navigating through the rising cost of living. As we have seen our favorite businesses disappear in the recent years, I am here to support them by whatever I could within my power. Whereas the parking on Broadway is a pain in the neck at any time of the day, if I think of a casual Mexican dining in the Baker neighborhood next time, I may stop by here. It's a good establishment to know.

It had the perfect proportion of fries, meat, and toppings. I also really like that guacamole is an option. However, what caught my attention at this place is their buzzball slushy.

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.
