Friendsgiving is all about the people you choose to celebrate with. It is relaxed, a little nontraditional, and usually involves someone forgetting the rolls. This year, skip the potluck stress and the oven juggling. Modern Tortilla makes Friendsgiving catering in Phoenix, Arizona easy, with a Southwest spread that feels just as festive as turkey and stuffing.
Why a Taco Bar Is the New Friendsgiving Tradition
A taco bar brings the same feeling of abundance as a holiday table, with a lot less work. Guests fill their plates with Chicken Tinga, Carne Asada, and all the fixings, then add Spanish rice, refried beans, guacamole, and street-style elote. Everything is shareable, which is exactly what Friendsgiving is about.
It is also an easy way to feed a group with different tastes. Instead of planning around everyone’s preferences, guests build the plate they want. Tom, who ordered our Modern Taco Bar drop-off for a family reunion, said the food arrived right on time and the setup and cleanup were easy. That is the kind of hosting we like to make possible.
Choose How You Want to Host
Modern Tortilla offers three ways to cater your Friendsgiving anywhere in the Valley.
Drop-off catering in Phoenix, Arizona is perfect for a cozy gathering in an apartment in Roosevelt Row or a home in Ahwatukee. Food arrives ready to serve, and you host without a crew on site.
Our taco cart is a great choice for backyard dinners and patio gatherings where you want fresh, hot tacos with a smaller setup.
Our food truck makes a big Friendsgiving feel like a block party. It is a fun option for larger friend groups, neighborhood gatherings, or HOA events.
Made by Phoenix Natives
Chef Tom D’Ambrosio and Kyle Hollenbeck started Modern Tortilla in 2016 to bring classically trained cooking to Southwest street food. Chef Tom is a Food Network Chopped Champion and Culinary Institute of America graduate, and every dish starts with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It is the kind of food you would be proud to put on your own table, without having to make it yourself.
Dessert Without the Pie Pressure
Not everyone has time to bake a pie. Our cinnamon sugar churros are an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert, and our homemade jamaica gives guests a bright, refreshing drink to sip through the night.
