5 Tips for Selecting the Perfect Food Truck Caterer in Phoenix
As we make our way through the holiday season, you may be considering hiring a food truck to cater the big event you have been planning, and we at Modern Tortilla understand it can be a little frightening trying to narrow down your choices. What if the food doesn’t please your guests? What if you hire someone who might scam you and not show up on the big day? The list of fears can grow longer, making it difficult to make a final decision and perhaps compelling you to look in another direction. Hiring food truck catering in Phonix is such a great idea, however, that we have compiled this list of five tips for selecting the perfect food truck caterer for your Phoenix event, and if the list leads you to our service window, all the better!
What’s Your Budget?
The first decision you may need to make is to determine how large your budget is going to be. The holidays are expensive, there’s no way of getting around it, and food trucks can be a less expensive way to feed your hungry guests, with Modern Tortilla offering costs that may surprise you, especially when you consider that the food we create—including those tacos you crave—is made with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. You may even wonder how we can stay in business when you see the prices we offer!
Choose Your Food Type
Food trucks have come a long way since their humble beginnings, and as you peruse the offerings that can be found in Phoenix, you will understand for the first time just how big the changes are. There are food trucks that serve up everything from macaroni and cheese to lobster sandwiches, but being the desert dweller that you are, we have a feeling it will be tacos that make you smile! Tacos are America’s favorite handheld, we even offer a day devoted to their spicy goodness, and although lobster is elegant and macaroni and cheese is gooey and delicious, it’s the taco that your soul craves, and tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are exactly what Modern Tortilla provides!
Availability Is Important
There are a LOT of parties, events, fundraisers, etcetera, that are going on during this last month of the year, so if your event date is set in stone, the first question you may want to ask is “Are you available on such and such date?” Many food truck caterers may already be booked, especially as they only offer one or two food trucks, but Modern Tortilla is known for its fleet of food trucks, maximizing the chance that we will be available on your very important date, and because we also offer taco carts, if we are all booked on your night, we may still be able to provide a taco cart, one that is ideal for more intimate get-togethers and celebrations.
Experience Matters
We are all for helping out beginning businesses, but this event is an important one, and do you want to take the chance on someone with little to no experience in feeding hungry guests? Modern Tortilla has been roaming the streets and feeding hungry people for nearly 10 years, and in that time, we have learned a thing or two about the business. Things happen, and events don’t always go smoothly, but when you choose Modern Tortilla, you are choosing a company with the experience to deal with the issues that may come up, ensuring that your celebration is one that will be the talk of the town for months to come—in all of the best ways!
Does It Fit?
There is nothing more impressive than walking into an event and discovering a full-sized food truck catering in Phonix located in a prime position, but this is Arizona, and we are known for the postage-stamp sized lots our homes and condos are built on, and it is quite possible that you won’t have space for a catering truck. This doesn’t mean you have to skip out on delicious tacos, however, because Modern Tortilla offers an alternative: a much more space friendly taco cart, loaded to the brim with our spicy taco makings. Perfect for smaller events and smaller yards and offering enough tacos to ensure that no one leaves hungry, the smaller cost will easily fit into your catering budget!
Have We Convinced You?
Your event is special to you, whether you are celebrating a holiday, a special occasion, or are in charge of a fundraiser for your kids’ school, and Modern Tortilla will be honored to be a part of the celebration.
