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.

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.

Plate full of delicious tacos from Modern Tortillas catering

FoodieLand could very possibly be considered the Oscars of the food truck world, if only for its sheer size. 185 food trucks are driving to the fairgrounds on the first day of spring, preparing their best dishes in hopes of winning the hearts of foodies from all over the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Celebrating community, diversity, and of course, FOOD, tickets cost $6 for everyone over the age of 5 and must be purchased online, they do not sell tickets at the door, so don’t make a rookie mistake of showing up empty handed, only to be turned away. You don’t want to miss this big-time food event that will also be offering live entertainment!

Uncorked: Arizona Wine Festival, March 29, Salt River Fields at Talking Stick

Salt River Fields barely has time to tuck away the hotdogs and cracker jacks left over from spring training before they open their gates again, this time offering a more elevated food and beverage forum. Uncorked: Arizona Wine Festival offers over 100 different wines, bubblies, cocktails, and beers, as well as a large selection of gourmet food trucks all introducing guests to the best of Arizona food and drink. And although we are partial to the tacos and burritos we serve from the window of our truck, we have to say that we don’t mind sipping and savoring the wines that are mostly created right here in our state. Chardonnay goes with everything, don’t let anyone tell you anything different!

What Would You Include in Your Perfect Taco Stand?

food truck

We all have dreams. Some of us imagine we are superstars, standing in front of a crowd of adoring fans, while others have dreams that are simpler. They dream of a having the perfect family—a few kids and a dog. They dream of traveling to Italy and enjoying a tasty lasagna in the shadow of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And still others dream of having unlimited access to the perfect taco stand! And although we can’t help with the grander dreams, we at Modern Tortilla are dedicated to giving our customers the taco stand of their dreams; all you need is to take advantage of our catering services!

So Many Options

It is the differences between people, not their sameness, that makes this state the special place it is, and while your idea of a perfect taco stand may include cheeses of all types, your neighbor may feel that cheese is overrated and unlimited jalapeños are what it takes to make their taste buds sing! For many of us, it is all about choices. A build your own taco stand with only one type of meat, tortilla, salsa, and cheese leaves us cold. Our dream taco stand would contain at least three types of meat—perhaps chicken, pork, and beef. We would be able to choose not just between flour and corn tortillas but add in a cilantro lime corn tortilla for a flavor overload. And the toppings would consist of cheeses of varying types, fresh veggies that were locally sourced, and salsas that range in degrees of heat. Comparing the mild to a plastic kiddy pool on your back porch and the hottest to an Olympic Stadium pool is pretty much what we would love to find on our dream taco stand!

Of course, the taco stand is ours, so our dreams are obviously your reality, and when you need a caterer for your spooktackular Halloween celebration or your grandmother’s 90th birthday, or even a Southwest style Thanksgiving feast, we hope to make you taco stand dreams come true as well! And because we understand that your dreams could be different than ours, our first question will always be, “What would YOU include in your perfect taco stand?”
