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

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?

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!
