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!

The Modern Tortilla Difference: What Makes Our Food Special

Phoenix Thanksgiving catering

When you live in the Southwest, it becomes relatively easy to differentiate between good Mexican food and the wannabes that are really just out there to take your money. And if you live here long enough, you also learn that the most authentic meals may not be found at restaurants with white tablecloths and high prices; they may just be found in the food trucks that run the streets of the Valley of the Sun. Modern Tortilla is one such food truck, serving authentic Mexican meals since 2016, and if you haven’t had the opportunity to sample our fare, perhaps this guide to the Modern Tortilla difference will entice you to hit the streets and follow our food trucks.

The Belief That Good Food Comes from Nature

In a world where genetically modified foods are becoming the norm, Modern Tortilla takes the extra steps to ensure that our meals come straight from nature. We use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, including farm to table produce, ensuring a taste that is fresh, healthy, and oh so delicious. Our tortillas are made from scratch, our salsa does not come from a jar, and even though it may be cheaper to use meats that have been pre-frozen, every meat we use is fresh and locally sourced, never frozen or transported from towns far away. Mexican food is not considered health food—there’s too much cheese for it to be considered that—but when served from the window of our Modern Tortilla food trucks, it will be healthier than many other Mexican restaurants.

The Passion We Share

Chef Tommy is known for his passion for feeding hungry people, and that passion shows in the care he takes with all his recipes. Every chile tortilla, chicken tinga taco, even the crème filled churros found on his menu will make you fall in love at first bite, tasting his passion for good food in every forkful you take. And that passion is contagious, infecting the staff of his food trucks, something that will be apparent at every visit you make. Smiling, happy, and always willing to suggest a favorite taco or burrito, our staff finds coming to work every day an adventure that doesn’t feel like work; rather, it feels like they are hanging out with friends just met. Our good cheer is also contagious, infusing our foods with love, and when you choose our tacos, burritos, or quesadillas as your midday meal or sunset supper, you too will share in the joy we embed in every meal we make.

Our Story

Our story is probably not that much different than many other restaurant stories out there, especially with the renaissance of food trucks making starting a new business that much easier than it has ever been before. Two friends, one of which happens to be Chef Tommy, winner of the 2018 episode of Chopped, an episode named Tacos and Tequila, sharing a lifelong obsession with food and feeding hungry people came together, creating Modern Tortilla to accompany their first venture, Aioli Gourmet Burger. The success of our food trucks brings us joy, just as we hope that the food we serve brings you joy, and as you take a mental health day from work, bring the kids’ baseball team to our trucks after the big game, and stop by before heading home on a hectic Wednesday afternoon, we hope that you continue to enjoy every bite you take.

All the Ways You Can Taste the Difference

Although we love that you follow our food trucks, considering that the greatest of honors, there are still other ways you can enjoy the flavors of the southwest. Hire us to cater your special events—and yes, a gathering with friends and family can be considered a special event. Our food trucks can come to your home, hanging out in the cul de sac, impressing all the neighbors, or keep it simple and let us drop off our life-changing tacos and leave you to enjoy an evening of friends, food, and family. For every employer that is seeking a unique way to show their appreciation of their employees, we offer corporate lunch delivery, bringing the taste of Mexico to your front door.

The Proof Is in the Taste

There are hundreds of ways we can say it, thousands of words we can use to describe it, but the best way to discover the Modern Tortilla difference is to get in your car and turn it in the direction of our food trucks. Covering the streets of Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler, and Scottsdale, our trucks are never far from your home, school, or office, and when you choose Modern Tortilla to fill your stomachs, you will soon discover we feed your souls as well.
