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!

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

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.

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 Tips for Selecting the Perfect Food Truck Caterer in Phoenix

food truck catering in Phonix

As we make our way through the holiday season, you may be considering hiring a food truck to cater the big event you have been planning, and we at Modern Tortilla understand it can be a little frightening trying to narrow down your choices. What if the food doesn’t please your guests? What if you hire someone who might scam you and not show up on the big day? The list of fears can grow longer, making it difficult to make a final decision and perhaps compelling you to look in another direction. Hiring food truck catering in Phonix is such a great idea, however, that we have compiled this list of five tips for selecting the perfect food truck caterer for your Phoenix event, and if the list leads you to our service window, all the better!

What’s Your Budget?

The first decision you may need to make is to determine how large your budget is going to be. The holidays are expensive, there’s no way of getting around it, and food trucks can be a less expensive way to feed your hungry guests, with Modern Tortilla offering costs that may surprise you, especially when you consider that the food we create—including those tacos you crave—is made with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. You may even wonder how we can stay in business when you see the prices we offer!

Choose Your Food Type

Food trucks have come a long way since their humble beginnings, and as you peruse the offerings that can be found in Phoenix, you will understand for the first time just how big the changes are. There are food trucks that serve up everything from macaroni and cheese to lobster sandwiches, but being the desert dweller that you are, we have a feeling it will be tacos that make you smile! Tacos are America’s favorite handheld, we even offer a day devoted to their spicy goodness, and although lobster is elegant and macaroni and cheese is gooey and delicious, it’s the taco that your soul craves, and tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are exactly what Modern Tortilla provides!

Availability Is Important

There are a LOT of parties, events, fundraisers, etcetera, that are going on during this last month of the year, so if your event date is set in stone, the first question you may want to ask is “Are you available on such and such date?” Many food truck caterers may already be booked, especially as they only offer one or two food trucks, but Modern Tortilla is known for its fleet of food trucks, maximizing the chance that we will be available on your very important date, and because we also offer taco carts, if we are all booked on your night, we may still be able to provide a taco cart, one that is ideal for more intimate get-togethers and celebrations.

Experience Matters

We are all for helping out beginning businesses, but this event is an important one, and do you want to take the chance on someone with little to no experience in feeding hungry guests? Modern Tortilla has been roaming the streets and feeding hungry people for nearly 10 years, and in that time, we have learned a thing or two about the business. Things happen, and events don’t always go smoothly, but when you choose Modern Tortilla, you are choosing a company with the experience to deal with the issues that may come up, ensuring that your celebration is one that will be the talk of the town for months to come—in all of the best ways!

Does It Fit?

An image of our stylish Phoenix Taco Cart

There is nothing more impressive than walking into an event and discovering a full-sized food truck catering in Phonix located in a prime position, but this is Arizona, and we are known for the postage-stamp sized lots our homes and condos are built on, and it is quite possible that you won’t have space for a catering truck. This doesn’t mean you have to skip out on delicious tacos, however, because Modern Tortilla offers an alternative: a much more space friendly taco cart, loaded to the brim with our spicy taco makings. Perfect for smaller events and smaller yards and offering enough tacos to ensure that no one leaves hungry, the smaller cost will easily fit into your catering budget!

Have We Convinced You?

Your event is special to you, whether you are celebrating a holiday, a special occasion, or are in charge of a fundraiser for your kids’ school, and Modern Tortilla will be honored to be a part of the celebration. Fill out the form on our page today and let’s get the planning part of the program started!

5 Reasons to Cater Your Next Event with Modern Tortilla

dinning table with cactus

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!
