Why Families Love Modern Tortilla on Game Day

Why Families Love Modern Tortilla on Game Day

Most people may not be able to differentiate between summer and fall in the Phoenix area without a calendar, but you’ve lived here for more than a minute, and you recognize the signs. You can walk out to check your mail barefoot, if only after dark, iced pumpkin spice latte is what’s on special at the local coffee shop, and of course, the Cardinals begin to show up in our TV listings! Fall is here in the desert, and because you would rather watch the game than spend any time in the kitchen cooking, families are choosing Modern Tortilla to provide the food for game day celebrations!

The Perfect Handheld Dish

The taco is becoming the most popular handheld in the nation, nudging aside hot dogs and hamburgers and providing a spicy heat to your day of all-American celebration. Our tacos are handmade with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and whether you choose our food truck to roll into your bash or keep it small and simple with our taco cart, Modern Tortilla will save the day, feeding your hungry friends, family, and neighbors. And who knows? It is entirely possible that because you are able to concentrate on the players on the screen, rather than running back and forth from the kitchen to the living room, your good juju could be psychically transmitted and Cardinals will win again! See what you would have missed if you had chosen to cook?

Kids Love Us, Too!

When you have budding sports fans in your family, you may worry about finding food they will eat without complaint, but you know that all desert kids love tacos, or at the very least, will chow down on our quesadillas, no questions asked! The family that eats together, watches football together, and the family that watches football together won’t be happy without Modern Tortilla. Give us a call today and discover how many bites it will take to make your family fall in love with Modern Tortilla on game day. We can promise that everyone will love our tacos. Or burritos. Or quesadillas!

Host a Hassle-Free Fall Party with Modern Tortilla Catering

Only desert dwellers can understand the exhilaration felt when the temperatures start to drop, even if it is just a few degrees, because we know that we have survived the worst and fall is coming. And with this exhilaration comes the urge to celebrate, inviting friends, family, and neighbors over for a seasonal soiree of swimming, playing music, and having a cool time—until we have to cook. Desert dwellers often know that just because the calendar says fall, the sun will still shine bright and hot, and that’s when the ones in the know turn to Modern Tortilla with our Phoenix catering services helping to provide a delicious and hassle-free fall extravaganza!

New Traditions with an Old Classic

A typical fall menu is often one that features chili, stew, and something casserole-ish, all of which are very tasty, but this is the Southwest, and we want tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. These classic meals satisfy our need for spice, and because you and all your guests probably already have tasted ours, you can relax and let the shindig shine. Chips and salsa have been, and always will be, your favorite obsession, and even as you are saying no to adding fire to your fall party, the heat in your mouth is also something to be celebrated.

Food Trucks and Taco Carts Make Us Happy

Our passion here at Modern Tortilla is tacos, and we offer multiple ways of getting those tacos to hungry people all over the valley. As impressive as it can be walking up to your neighbor’s house and seeing one of our large and colorful food trucks sitting in the driveway, the reality is not everyone has the space for a big truck, but that’s ok. That doesn’t mean your dreams for tacos and tequila have to come to an end, not when our taco carts have the ability to fit into small spaces, ensuring your taste buds will cheer. We can bring the tacos, you provide the tequila, and there you have it, the perfect recipe for a party that no one will forget!

Hang in There!

Better days are coming, and by better we mean cooler, even as we all know that the real cooldown doesn’t begin until around Halloween. But no matter when you are throwing your fall bash, utilizing our Modern Tortilla Phoenix catering services will make you the coolest host in the west. Give us a call today!

Modern Tortilla’s 4th of July Catering Makes Hosting Easy

Although our children are in the middle of their favorite time of year, for adults, we still have all the same duties and responsibilities we face all year long, plus, we have to consider throwing a 4th of July party for our friends, family, and neighbors. Wondering where you will find the time to do all the myriad of chores associated with throwing a party is perhaps the worse part of any celebration. But you found your way to our Modern Tortilla page and this guide to how we can make your hosting services easier simply by choosing us to cater your 4th of July catering in Arizona summer fiesta will make the final decision an easy one.

113 Degrees in 2024

We probably don’t have to tell you that 113 degrees was the high temperature on July 4th in 2024, you were there too. Every summer seems to be hotter than the one before and the thought of turning on the oven to make appetizers for your guests when even the mercury on the thermometer has tapped out makes you want to pack your bags and move to Antarctica. And although we can’t bring the temperatures down, we can turn the open sign to closed in your kitchen and let you forget about refilling your propane tank, because Modern Tortilla will be in charge of the food for your summer shindig. We will turn towards the fire so you can stay cool and collected while feeding your hungry guests.

Mexican Food on an All-American Holiday?

To the outsiders eye choosing tacos for 4th of July may seem a little off brand, but in the Southwest, we were raised on quesadillas over grilled cheese sandwiches, we devoured breakfast burritos instead of the classic egg dish and on America’s birthday, tacos really should be the star of the show. Impressing your friends with our food truck when it pulls into the driveway is just the start and the silence that fills the air during the first bites taken will be all the proof you need that choosing Modern Tortilla to cater your 4th of July fiesta was the best decision you will make this summer.

Let Modern Tortilla Handle Memorial Day Weekend Eats

arizona and american flags

If you have lived in the Phoenix area for more than a minute, you know that even though the Memorial Day holiday is often considered the kick-off to summer, summer began for us a few weeks ago, and the pool party you are planning will be a hot one. And again, if you have lived in the Valley of the Sun for more than a minute, chances are you have sampled the tacos and burritos served fresh off our Modern Tortilla food trucks and found them quite to your pleasure, but did you know that we also cater fun events such as the pool party you may be planning? You could go with the standards, grilling your own food on grills that are almost as hot as the outdoor temperatures or you could take a chance on tacos and make your guests love you forever with our Memorial Day catering in Arizona!

Tacos Are Always the Right Choice

tacos

The Southwest is famous for its heat, its sunsets, its deserts and mountains, and the spicy and delicious Mexican food we were raised on. We all grew up with quesadillas instead of grilled cheese sandwiches, and chips and salsa were something that even the tiniest Phoenicians were munching on, even as they had barely learned to walk. So, it only makes sense that when Memorial Day Weekend rolls around and it is time for your guests to dine, tacos will be on the menu! Save yourself the heat and frustration of being chained to that fiery grill and while your guests are gathering around our food trucks you can be resting on the lounge chair on your baja shelf soaking in the rays while staying chill and at ease!

Small Gathering or Not Much Room?

Now, your Memorial Day shindig may be just your immediate family, plus your kid’s friends, or you may not have the room for a full-sized food truck, no matter how impressive that would be for your family. That doesn’t mean you have to look in another direction for your dining needs; it just means you need an introduction to our taco carts! Offering all the ingredients you need for a party to be remembered and taking up a fraction of the space our full-sized trucks use, your Modern Tortilla Memorial Day fiesta is going to be one that your guests will be talking about for years to come.

Let Modern Tortilla Cater Your Easter Party

easter eggs

Someone, somewhere, decided that the Easter meal should consist of ham, eggs, and scalloped potatoes and for centuries that has been something we all accepted, but we think in 2025, there should be changes. We live in the Southwest, a place that makes tacos famous, and when we want comfort food, we head straight to the food trucks we have been following for years, (like Modern Tortilla!) and this year, we can bring your favorite food to the Easter table. This guide to Easter catering in Phoenix served with a Spanish accent will bring joy to your table while also giving you a break, saving you from the chores associated with creating the Easter feast, simply because you chose our food trucks to cater your holiday meal!

It’s all About the Spice

Now don’t get us wrong, we love the traditional Easter meal, but 2025 has started out a little harsh, and comfort food always helps take the sting out of the bad stuff. Also, even though there is almost no difference in the amount of preparation you had to do for Thanksgiving versus all the work that is required for an Easter feast, you don’t get an extra day off to recuperate. Monday morning will come far too soon, with the rude jangling of your alarm clock waking you before you are ready. When you hire Modern Tortilla for your Easter catering needs, you can relax, devour, and fall asleep at a decent hour, because clean up will be a breeze. Simply toss the containers; there won’t be any leftovers to put away, your family and friends will make sure of that!

Can Mexican Food Be Good for You?

The reality of Mexican food is that it usually isn’t considered healthy, there’s just too much good taste in every bite, but there are ways to make it healthier, and we do that by creating each taco with farm-to-table ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. Knowing where your food came from is rare in today’s world, but food is art and our chefs are the artists who create each taco, making sure that they know where each spicy ingredient was “born.” So go ahead and eat another taco, dip another chip into our freshly made salsa, and have another margarita; oh wait, we don’t sell margaritas, but we certainly encourage you to make your own. Give us a call today and let’s start making plans for your Easter feast!

 

Make Birthdays a Blast with Food Trucks

birthday cake

Birthdays aren’t always our favorite thing to celebrate as adults, because let’s admit it, there really isn’t a lot to celebrate about getting older. But we Arizona natives know the best way to get over the blues is with a delicious taco in hand, and our Modern Tortilla food trucks can be the perfect addition to a celebration you really aren’t sure you want to experience. This guide to all the ways your special day will be a blast when you choose Modern Tortilla’s food truck catering for a birthday party to be the centerpiece of your celebration will ensure that whether you are turning 50 or 79, your party will be one that no one forgets!

Forget the Number

As we grow older and the numbers grow larger, we often forget the excitement we once experienced about our birthdays. Remember when you turned 12 and ¼ or 15 and ½? We kept track of every month knowing that aging was a good thing and Modern Tortilla wants to help bring those good old days back. Aging like a fine wine is easier when accompanied by tacos, burritos, or quesadillas and we are happy to help you out! And when your party is over, we can promise that you will forget the number and only remember the heat of that taco, the flavor explosion of the quesadilla, and the looks on your guest’s faces when the food truck rolled into the neighborhood.

Remember the Taste!

Tacos are fast becoming America’s favorite handheld, surpassing the humble burger, for so many reasons and our tacos are doing their part in making you love tacos more. Chicken tinga, carne asada, and veggie tacos are going to be at the forefront of your birthday memories, proving that good taste can help everyone feel young. We desert dwellers love the heat and often that heat is reflected in the food your guests can walk up and order. But what if you don’t have enough room for a truck at your celebration? No problem, because our Modern Tortilla taco carts can fit into the tiniest of event venues, while offering all the flavor and spice you expect from our food trucks.

The Answer Is Always Tacos

No matter what the question, the answer is always tacos and when it is time to celebrate your next birthday, Modern Tortilla offers the food trucks that will make your party the talk of the neighborhood. Give us a call today!

 

Food Truck Vs. Traditional Catering: Which Is Right for Your Event?

Tri Concept Truck

Even though the big holidays have come to an end, you may be already planning your next event, because let’s face it, EVERY season is the season for shindigs, fiestas, and events. And although you may not be as busy now as you were during those holidays, you are still busy enough to be thinking about hiring a catering service for your upcoming event. Should you go for a traditional caterer or hire a food truck in Phoenix with Modern Tortilla? Obviously, you can guess that we vote for the latter but we aren’t going to make you take our word for it, as we have done the research and have created this guide to help you determine, on your own, that our vote is a good one!

We’re Not Big on Formality in the Desert

One of our favorite things about living in the desert is the informality of it all. No one cares if women wear pantyhose, and ties bear too close of a resemblance to the hangman’s noose of the Wild West, and when it comes to parties, we just don’t want to bother. So, why go for formality with a catered meal that makes everyone feel uncomfortable when tacos, beer, and good music is all you need for a truly excellent fiesta?

Strawberry tacos

Saving Money Is Always a Good Thing

Did you know that on average you will spend 10 to 15% less on a food truck in comparison to what you would spend with a traditional caterer? Unless you’re a Rockefeller or Vanderbilt, we can’t imagine that you are free to spend your money willy nilly, and by spending less on food, you have more money for a new outfit or to purchase a gift for the guest of honor!

The Wonder of Wow

Caterers are good at their jobs—we aren’t saying they aren’t—but quite frankly, their uniform of white shirt and black pants is kind of boring. When a Modern Tortilla food truck pulls into your event, its bright colors popping and its wonderful aromas wafting, no one will be able to turn away from the sight. And when you are trying to throw a party that will be remembered by all, wowing them with a food truck and tacos is the only way to go. Give us a call today at 602-848-8823 and start preparing to wow!
