Host a Hassle-Free Fall Party with Modern Tortilla Catering

Only desert dwellers can understand the exhilaration felt when the temperatures start to drop, even if it is just a few degrees, because we know that we have survived the worst and fall is coming. And with this exhilaration comes the urge to celebrate, inviting friends, family, and neighbors over for a seasonal soiree of swimming, playing music, and having a cool time—until we have to cook. Desert dwellers often know that just because the calendar says fall, the sun will still shine bright and hot, and that’s when the ones in the know turn to Modern Tortilla with our Phoenix catering services helping to provide a delicious and hassle-free fall extravaganza!

New Traditions with an Old Classic

A typical fall menu is often one that features chili, stew, and something casserole-ish, all of which are very tasty, but this is the Southwest, and we want tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. These classic meals satisfy our need for spice, and because you and all your guests probably already have tasted ours, you can relax and let the shindig shine. Chips and salsa have been, and always will be, your favorite obsession, and even as you are saying no to adding fire to your fall party, the heat in your mouth is also something to be celebrated.

Food Trucks and Taco Carts Make Us Happy

Our passion here at Modern Tortilla is tacos, and we offer multiple ways of getting those tacos to hungry people all over the valley. As impressive as it can be walking up to your neighbor’s house and seeing one of our large and colorful food trucks sitting in the driveway, the reality is not everyone has the space for a big truck, but that’s ok. That doesn’t mean your dreams for tacos and tequila have to come to an end, not when our taco carts have the ability to fit into small spaces, ensuring your taste buds will cheer. We can bring the tacos, you provide the tequila, and there you have it, the perfect recipe for a party that no one will forget!

Hang in There!

Better days are coming, and by better we mean cooler, even as we all know that the real cooldown doesn’t begin until around Halloween. But no matter when you are throwing your fall bash, utilizing our Modern Tortilla Phoenix catering services will make you the coolest host in the west. Give us a call today!

Modern Tortilla’s 4th of July Catering Makes Hosting Easy

Although our children are in the middle of their favorite time of year, for adults, we still have all the same duties and responsibilities we face all year long, plus, we have to consider throwing a 4th of July party for our friends, family, and neighbors. Wondering where you will find the time to do all the myriad of chores associated with throwing a party is perhaps the worse part of any celebration.

113 Degrees in 2024

We probably don’t have to tell you that 113 degrees was the high temperature on July 4th in 2024, you were there too. Every summer seems to be hotter than the one before and the thought of turning on the oven to make appetizers for your guests when even the mercury on the thermometer has tapped out makes you want to pack your bags and move to Antarctica. And although we can’t bring the temperatures down, we can turn the open sign to closed in your kitchen and let you forget about refilling your propane tank, because Modern Tortilla will be in charge of the food for your summer shindig. We will turn towards the fire so you can stay cool and collected while feeding your hungry guests.

Mexican Food on an All-American Holiday?

To the outsiders eye choosing tacos for 4th of July may seem a little off brand, but in the Southwest, we were raised on quesadillas over grilled cheese sandwiches, we devoured breakfast burritos instead of the classic egg dish and on America’s birthday, tacos really should be the star of the show. Impressing your friends with our food truck when it pulls into the driveway is just the start and the silence that fills the air during the first bites taken will be all the proof you need that choosing Modern Tortilla to cater your 4th of July fiesta was the best decision you will make this summer.

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.

Food Truck Vs. Traditional Catering: Which Is Right for Your Event?

Tri Concept Truck

Even though the big holidays have come to an end, you may be already planning your next event, because let’s face it, EVERY season is the season for shindigs, fiestas, and events. And although you may not be as busy now as you were during those holidays, you are still busy enough to be thinking about hiring a catering service for your upcoming event. Should you go for a traditional caterer or hire a food truck in Phoenix with Modern Tortilla? Obviously, you can guess that we vote for the latter but we aren’t going to make you take our word for it, as we have done the research and have created this guide to help you determine, on your own, that our vote is a good one!

We’re Not Big on Formality in the Desert

One of our favorite things about living in the desert is the informality of it all. No one cares if women wear pantyhose, and ties bear too close of a resemblance to the hangman’s noose of the Wild West, and when it comes to parties, we just don’t want to bother. So, why go for formality with a catered meal that makes everyone feel uncomfortable when tacos, beer, and good music is all you need for a truly excellent fiesta?

Strawberry tacos

Saving Money Is Always a Good Thing

Did you know that on average you will spend 10 to 15% less on a food truck in comparison to what you would spend with a traditional caterer? Unless you’re a Rockefeller or Vanderbilt, we can’t imagine that you are free to spend your money willy nilly, and by spending less on food, you have more money for a new outfit or to purchase a gift for the guest of honor!

The Wonder of Wow

Caterers are good at their jobs—we aren’t saying they aren’t—but quite frankly, their uniform of white shirt and black pants is kind of boring. When a Modern Tortilla food truck pulls into your event, its bright colors popping and its wonderful aromas wafting, no one will be able to turn away from the sight. And when you are trying to throw a party that will be remembered by all, wowing them with a food truck and tacos is the only way to go. Give us a call today at 602-848-8823 and start preparing to wow!

valentines

Margaritas for Everyone

All About Our Taco Cart

An image of our stylish Phoenix 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

Fresh tacos at our taco food truck in Phoenix

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!

 

Booking a Last-Minute Catering with Modern Tortilla

The setup of our taco truck catering in Phoenix

Did you hear the news? Or more accurately, did you step outside and FEEL the news, as the days we all look forward to have finally arrived. The temperatures have dropped below 100, and we are able to enjoy our early morning walks without feeling like we are about to have heat stroke. And if you think this reason alone is worth celebrating, but you aren’t quite ready to stoke up the grill in your backyard (Temps are still in the 90s, after all, let’s not get crazy!) booking a last-minute catering in Phoenix with Modern Tortilla can hit all the right notes, and this guide will show you why!

Every Bite Is a Celebration

In a world of white bread sandwiches, we desert dwellers walk on the spicy side, preferring tacos and burritos, considering Mexican food our comfort food.

Modern Tortilla has a passion for feeding hungry people and that passion leads us to creating meals that your entire guest list will love, knowing that every bite of every taco is a celebration that can’t be enjoyed enough.

We Love the Heat, But Oh, Those Cooler Days!

You have to be a certain kind of crazy not to complain about breaking new heat records in the desert, but we do retain bragging rights for surviving another summer, and as that mercury drops, our spirits begin to rise. Of course, there may be other reasons for your last-minute event, maybe your original caterer dropped the ball, or neighbors that moved away a couple of years ago are back in town and the entire neighborhood wants to celebrate. All of these are the best reasons for throwing a last-minute fiesta, and this time of year is especially good, as most people are getting back into the swing of real life, and Modern Tortilla will have more openings, even at the last minute!
