EVERY item on our menu is destined to bring a smile to your love’s face, as well as earn you the title of Best Valentine’s Gifter, even if you buy nothing else.

Ok, we recommend a stop at a local jewelry and/or chocolate store as well, but the quickest way to anyone’s heart, male or female, is with delicious tacos from Modern Tortilla. (That’s how that old saying goes, right?) Offering 3 spicy choices, Chicken Tinga, Carne Asada, and Veggie Tacos, every taco plate comes with 2 tacos and chips and salsa, amping up the degrees on this day designed for heat and passion.

And while not everyone is as passionate about tacos as we are, there are other options on our menu, including a thick and spicy Southwest Burrito made with our carne asada, sweet corn, cilantro, a Monterey and cheddar blend cheese, all wrapped up in a handmade chili flour tortilla. For a wholesome treat, order our house made mason jar lemonade and if you take the meal home to enjoy, we have heard that adding a shot of vodka to the lemonade is a very good idea!

Love Doesn’t Have to be Complicated

The most thoughtful gifts don’t have to be the most expensive ones. Most Valentine’s just want to be heard, respected, and served tacos on a chilly day in February. Bring your sweetest by Modern Tortilla for a holiday meal she will love you forever for.

Have Modern Tortilla Cater Your AZ Winter Event

Arizona catering

When winter arrives in the desert we are all more than ready to rush to greet it, often with outdoor parties and holiday get togethers with our closest friends and family. Summers are for hermits in this state, encouraging us all to stay inside in the air-conditioned coolness and winters are for all the fun you skipped earlier in the year!

Of course, winter is also about the holidays, bringing with it chores, shopping, and all the little things that make us feel as if we are constantly behind, which might discourage any thoughts of whooping it up, but if you can accept a little help from your friends, the parties never have to end!

We are, of course, talking about having Modern Tortilla Arizona catering for your winter event. Whether it is a holiday shindig or a cozy bash with friends, this guide will give you a sneak peek into how your party will be the talk of the town simply because you did!

Tacos for Everyone!

While the rest of the world may be deep frying turkeys and smoking briskets for their holiday celebrations, we Arizona rebels understand that nothing is more memorable than a taco and all the trimmings, even at Christmas!

We are born and bred in heat and fire and our food choices often reflect both, which makes hiring Modern Tortilla the natural choice. And while we are setting up a food truck in your cul de sac, a taco cart in your backyard, or even a buffet with chef-manned action stations in your formal dining room, you can be working on perfecting your outfit of the night, catching up on a Hallmark Christmas movie marathon, or reminiscing over the last time the Diamondbacks won the World Series and noting how much sweeter it was this year! (Ok, we confess, the series hasn’t begun as we write this, but we believe in the power of positive thinking!)

When your guests arrive, the scent of cilantro and salsa will make everyone salivate and although it may be quite noisy at first, with the first bite of our delicious tacos, the only sounds will be the music playing in the background and a more than a few “OMG’s!” Your winter event is guaranteed to be the talk of the neighborhood for months to come, all because of your sparkling personality, your stellar party planning skills, and your choice of Modern Tortilla!

Winter will be here sooner than you think and wouldn’t it be sad if someone else booked us on your big AZ winter event? Contact us today!

As you start making the plans for your Thanksgiving celebration, you may find yourself being distracted by factors that no one can blame you for! The weather in November is so beautiful, our much needed reward for managing to make it through another summer of scorching temperatures that last through most of the fall (101 in October is a little insane, no matter how you look at it!) and if you find yourself sitting out on your back porch, watching the sun set as you sip your favorite chardonnay instead of doing chores, you may be worried that everything won’t be done in time!

Tacos instead of Turkey?

If we have learned nothing else over the last few years it is how to thrive in circumstances that are less than perfect, and we have gained a new outlook on old traditions. We work from homes that aren’t always our homes, our children have continued classes while sitting in front of little silver chrome books, and we have all learned a greater appreciation for the smaller things in life, and yes, that can include a chicken Tinga sandwich from Modern Tortilla! Lower your stress levels and concentrate on your conversations with the matriarch of your extended family, secure in the knowledge that although there will be other Arizona Thanksgiving celebrations, THIS one is the one you never will forget. And whether the party is just an intimate event with your spouse, your children, and your faithful furry companion or it is a grand event with cousins, step-grandparents, and the neighbor lady that has served as an honorary auntie to your kiddos, we have the Phoenix Thanksgiving catering solution that will fit your needs like a fine leather glove!

And just like that, it feels as if someone flipped the switch on the exterior air conditioning, dropping temperatures from the 110’s all the way down to the 80s and even the 70s at night. We desert rats suddenly begin to emerge from the darkened interiors of our homes, phones in hand as we text all our colder climate friends to brag about the beautiful weather, and as our neighbors do the same thing, we are happy to see them all! Seeing them again, after a long and especially hot summer our thoughts turn to parties and impromptu dinners and before we know it, we are planning the first party of the holiday season!

Halloween is on a Tuesday, and, well, we are sure you don’t want to miss out on your favorite day of the week, TACO TUESDAY! The spice and rich flavors bring joy every day of the week, but there is just something wonderful about the cooler days that almost require a hearty meal, one that comes complete with chips and salsa! Spend the time you aren’t cooking putting extra details in your Halloween costume or maybe you can use the extra minutes creating an at home haunted house that all the neighborhood ghouls and goblins will want to explore on the most hallowed day of the year! The options are endless on how you can enjoy the time you saved by ordering your Arizona Halloween 2023 feast catered by Modern Tortilla and as your floors may be a little cleaner and your makeup a lot more on point, your party will be the talk of the neighborhood, even if you aren’t handing the full sized candy bars this year!

Have Modern Tortilla Cater Your Upcoming Fall Event in Arizona

Although summer still rears it’s fiery head late into October in the desert, there are signs that relief is in sight. The last of the monsoon mugginess dissipates, the sun rises later, giving many of us the most gorgeous drives into work, (How many of you have taken the picture of the sunrise or sunset in your car’s side mirrors? It is a stunning pic!) and yes, the temps do lower into more manageable degrees of torture, especially at night! These cooler evenings of fall remind us that we hardy desert rats have survived another summer and perhaps encourage us to throw parties in celebration—if only we could do so and stay out of the kitchen. And because you can’t have a celebration without food, you might be considering waiting until the later holidays or the winter when everything is cool and perfect or you could throw caution to the wind and have Modern Tortilla cater your upcoming fall event in Arizona!

What a Great Idea!

In the Valley of the Sun, we tend to cocoon during the summers, staying in the air-conditioned coolness of our houses as much as possible, limiting our swimming until right before bed and just waiting for the days that we don’t need oven mitts to touch our steering wheels. And although it is still hot through most of fall, there is no reason to put off getting together with friends, especially when you have Modern Tortilla on your side, ready and eager to help you create the ideal fall spicy fiesta! Your party can be as fancy or as simple as you want. Order a food truck for an impressive end of summer extravaganza or have your event fully catered with chef-manned action stations to truly spoil your guests. For more simple affairs, our drop off menu or a taco cart can be the center of attraction, ensuring that everyone eats their fill without you having to enter the dreaded heat zone of your kitchen. Every fall event in Arizona will be elevated to the next level of wow simply because you chose Modern Tortilla to help you offer a menu that everyone loves, and you will stay calm, cool, and out of the kitchen while enjoying the people you probably haven’t seen much of since early spring!

Best AZ Comfort Food at Modern Tortilla

AZ comfort food

When life gets crazy and your job begins to overwhelm, chances are you head home to drown your troubles in the comfort meals that always seem to make life better. Nothing makes you feel better about your life than your favorite dishes! In many parts of the nation, comfort meals may be macaroni and cheese, casseroles, even a big plate filled with fried chicken and mashed potatoes, but in the Southwest, the foods that comfort often come with a spicy twist, something that makes Modern Tortilla the first place you think of when times are toughest. This guide to our best AZ comfort food will help you spend less time thinking about what to eat and more time actually consuming the meal!

Tacos for the Win

The question shouldn’t be what problems can a good taco from Modern Tortilla resolve, but what problems CAN’T they solve? Filled with the spicy meats you love, (chicken tinga, carne asada, and delicious veggies for those that can’t handle the meat) that first bite will wipe your mind clear of any issues that may be clouding it! And because enough is never enough when eating Mexican food, all our plates are accompanied by a large helping of chips and salsa! How can anyone feel bad about anything when devouring chips and salsa?

Food for the Soul

You don’t have to be suffering from melancholy to enjoy a comfort meal. Sometimes a good meal filled with your favorites just enhances an evening that is already wonderful, and our Southwest Burrito Plate (also served with chips and salsa) can be the shining star of your fantastic time! Juicy carne asada and farm fresh sweet corn embraced by one of our handmade chili flour tortillas and topped with cilantro and Monterey cheddar blend makes this burrito a super-sized comfort meal that will bring joy to your soul.

Before You Go

Sometimes the best AZ comfort food isn’t a meal at all, and our house made mason jar lemonade is the perfect example! Is there anything more comforting than an icy glass of sweet and tart lemonade on a day when record high summer temperatures are making you reconsider life in the desert? Stop by Modern Tortilla today for a meal and a lemonade and forget that the temperatures are reaching 120 soon!

Have Modern Tortilla Cater Your Upcoming Arizona Family Reunion

AZ catering

Summer is, and always has been, a time reserved for families. Long lazy days filled with pool parties and zoo adventures, weekends spent up north in the cool pines of Prescott and Flagstaff, and in some cases, family reunions where extended members pack their bags and find their way to your doorstep for a fun-filled family reunion! It’s always great to get together with the cousins you used to play hide and seek in the cornfields of your youth, making memories that will last a lifetime and if you are the one that escaped the boundaries of the Midwest, introducing them to the delights of your new Southwest hometown will add an extra shot of joy. Especially when you give them a taste of the Valley of the Sun by having Modern Tortilla AZ catering your family reunion!

The Heat of the Moment

Taco Tuesday has become a nationwide celebration of America’s newest favorite handheld food and although your Kansas cousins have probably devoured many tacos in their lifetime, the authentic taste of Modern Tortilla’s carne asada will create a new obsession! We offer multiple AZ catering styles, including a drop-off service that will allow you and your family to devour all the tacos you want, enjoying an intimate gathering without any strangers listening in to the stories of your misbegotten youth. If you really want to impress your Aunt Gladys from Arkansas, however, and you have the space, our full-sized food trucks add excitement to the family reunion experience! Also offering a fully catered event with buffet, chef-manned action stations, and more ways to show your family how much you love and miss them! The final service we offer lies somewhere between the food truck and the drop-off service, our taco carts. Small enough to fit into your backyard, yet providing the large taste of delicious tacos, your family will never complain after eating their fill!

The Importance of Family

The cousins who were our first playmates, our aunts and uncles who taught us the importance of dad jokes and non-judgment, and our grandparents who really exhibited unconditional love are all important in who we have become today and we at Modern Tortilla recognize that importance and will take special care with the meals we create for your Arizona family reunion!
