Alvarez launched Kaapita Hibachi with one goal: Show Up! While other food trucks cherry-pick the easiest spots, Alvarez goes where others won't, and he'll give a location another shot even if the first visit doesn't pay off. It's that quiet persistence, paired with hibachi done right, that's earned him a loyal following across a variety of Murfreesboro's communities. But the real story is his family. His 13-year-old twin boys work the truck with him on busy days, learning customer service firsthand. His daughter handles admin and business outreach. Everything Alvarez builds, he builds for them.
