Meet Julia Rivera
Mukja is a family-run operation led by Julia Rivera, who left behind a 12-year career in accounting to launch the truck with her daughter, Kayla Makowski, in 2019. What began as a side hustle quickly grew into a full-time passion project rooted in Julia’s Korean heritage and a desire to bring fun, approachable fusion food to Denver. Julia’s son James also joined the team during the pandemic, and her husband Victor helps out when he can, making Mukja a true family affair. With Julia at the helm, the truck has become a beloved staple in Denver’s food scene, known not only for its inventive eats but also its heart and hospitality
