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

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.

All About Our Taco Cart

As you begin planning your end of the year bash, your beginning of the year fiesta, or any party any time, you may be feeling the after effects of a holiday season filled with too much. Too much work, too much shopping, and way too much cooking! Although we can’t help with the work and the shopping, we can take the burden of cooking off your shoulders when you choose Modern Tortilla to cater your event. And because not every host has the room needed for our full-sized food trucks, we offer a compact taco cart that will fit into the smallest of spaces and still deliver the full-sized flavor that you have grown to expect from Modern Tortilla!

Noticeably Smaller Yet Packed with Flavor

Your postage stamp sized condo patio, your single car lane driveway, even the petite cul de sac in which your property is located may not look like they could be the sites that will be havens of taste and tacos, but we assure you, they can be. Our taco carts are petite sized dynamos, manned by skilled artisans of the culinary sort, ready and waiting to create the hand held of your dreams. And although your party may still rock without tacos and you are perfectly capable of creating a menu that everyone will love, don’t you think you deserve to have someone help carry the load of the celebration? We at Modern Tortilla have a passion for feeding hungry people and creating spicy goodness, and our taco carts provide a beautiful example of both!

An Event to Remember

There are three common ingredients needed for holding an event to remember: the music, the host, and the food that is being served. When you serve tacos, you will always be remembered as the “hostess with the mostest!” The music we will leave up to you, it is a very personal choice, and we can tell that you are a caring host because you are looking at ordering our taco cart for your guest’s happy tastings, so your party is already more than halfway on the road to success. So, put the closed sign on your oven, take a little more time relaxing with a glass of wine before the big event begins, give us a call, and park the taco cart in whatever corner you have available, this night is destined to be one that will be remembered by all!

 

5 Reasons to Cater Your Next Event with Modern Tortilla

Well, it’s official. The temperatures finally dropped below scorching, the last of the trick-or-treaters have returned to their homes, and the big three end of the year holidays are staring us straight in the face, daring us to get it all done while spending more time with the family and with no extra hours to be had. The parties we have in November and December are the best part of the season, and if you are wondering how you are going to manage to do everything AND throw the fiesta of the year, we have created this list of five reasons why using catering with Modern Tortilla can help you have the perfect event without the hassle!

Reason #5: The Time Savings Is Magical

Every party revolves around the food being served, which means as you are working a full eight hour (or more!) day, rushing around shopping for Christmas presents, holiday décor, and all your normal necessities, you also need to be planning out a menu, purchasing the food, and preparing enough to feed a small village, all in the same 24 hours of each day that are already filled with too much work, chores, activities, and too few hours of sleep. But when you choose Modern Tortilla to cater your big event, you have cut out a lion’s share of the work involved, leaving you free to handle the millions of other details involved in party planning!

Reason #4: Stress Less, Celebrate More

This is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but you have so much on your plate that you probably don’t enjoy it much and are feeling stressed, harried, and exhausted. We can’t help you with the gift selections or the cleaning of your house, but we can take the stress of creating a meal that even the most finickiest of diners will eat off your hands, and with that major stress eliminated, you may find yourself enjoying the holidays a little more than normal. Stress is the second leading cause of illness, and who wants to be sick and stuck inside the house when outside is FINALLY cool and comfortable?

Reason #3: You Know Us and You Trust Us

Yes, there are plenty of caterers in this big desert community we have chosen to be our home, but do you know any of them in the way you know Modern Tortilla? You have been enjoying spicy tacos and burritos from our colorful food trucks for more years than you can remember, your taste buds have jumped with joy when attending other events in which our taco carts have made a surprise appearance, and you know that we offer good food that costs less. All of this leads up to an event filled with good taste, happy guests, and perhaps a few more dollars left in your bank account, dollars that can be put towards all those presents you still have left to buy! Trusting that the company you choose to feed your family can only make this event even more successful, and we are happy to be a part of the good times.

Reason #2: Hello, Have Your Forgotten Our Tacos?

The food we serve is the food of your childhood, and as the sultry scent of tacos wafts through your event venue, how can you not feel happy? Feeding hungry people is our passion, and even though tacos are a simple dish, easily prepared and just as easily devoured, we put our all into the creation of each one we make. Because we use locally sourced ingredients, parents can feel good about sharing them with their children, and because we love when we hear the sentence “I am so full, but I just can’t stop eating these tacos!” (We are addicted to the praise!) we pay attention to every detail of building the perfect taco.

Reason #1: You Deserve to Have Fun, Too

The host or hostess of every party rarely gets to just sit and enjoy the result of all their efforts, especially if they are in charge of food prep, but when you choose a caterer, it takes a huge burden off your shoulders. There will still be plenty to do leading up to the party, but when the music starts and the first guests begin to arrive, you, the host or hostess, can now take a breath and begin the serious business of having fun.

Will you still flit from guest to guest, ensuring that everyone is having a fabulous time? (And how can they not? They are eating tacos!) You won’t have to jump up to grab a new tray of whatever to bring out, and you won’t have to spend so much of your time in the kitchen, cooking, cleaning, and losing all feeling in your feet from standing too long. Instead, you will get to have fun, simply because you chose Modern Tortilla to cater your event. Give us a call today!

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!
