End of Summer Flavors

cheers

For most parts of the world, the end of summer is a melancholy event, greeted with heavy sighs and quiet contemplation of the busy season that is about to begin, but in the desert, this is not always the case. As the calendar page turns to September, our smiles come more readily, and our outlooks become brighter as we know the end of the scorching heat is near! Of course, we do mourn the end of summer vacations and roads that are less crowded, but when the end of summer blues hit, you can count on a visit to Modern Tortilla and a taste of our menu’s delights to cheer you up, no matter what season of the year!

Feel the Burn

No, we’re not talking about the summer sun shining down with the heat of a million fires, we are, of course, discussing the spicy deliciousness of the food we serve to happy customers all over the Valley of the Sun! It’s hard to feel depressed about anything when you start the evening out with a Mexican tradition, the elote. Featuring roasted sweet corn, cilantro lime mayo, cotija cheese, and sprinkled with the fiery flavor of smoked paprika, this south of the border version of an American summer favorite is the perfect way to say so long to the season. Tacos don’t have to be restricted to enjoying on Tuesdays only, and our Modern Mayan is one of our guests’ favorites. Created with slow braised pork in achiote, roasted tomato, garlic, pineapple, fresh avocado, pickled red onion, cotija cheese, and served in a traditional corn tortilla, this specialty of la casa is also a great way to welcome fall as we sit on the fence between the two seasons!

The dry heat of a desert summer can cause you to become quite parched; an ice-cold soda gulped straight from the glass bottle is a sure way to quench any thirst. We also serve horchata, water, and canned sodas for those who never quite appreciated a soda in a bottle. And finally, for those hard working moms who deserve a summer break just as much as the kids do, our meal prep menus offer a generous selection of end of summer specials, including a BBQ Pork Bowl, Shaved French Dip, and a fan favorite, Turkey Lasagna!

Squeeze Every Bit of Enjoyment Out of the Last Days of Summer

Even with the heat, you have to love a lazy summer day, and the best way to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of these final days of summer is to stop by one of our Modern Tortilla food trucks today. Hope to see you soon!

Summer Flavors to Love from Modern Tortilla

Taco Tuesday

Summer can be a mixed blessing for the desert dwellers of the world. Longer days and lazy vacation weeks are all great, but when the mercury rises above the century mark, we do tend to think longingly of the cooler days of winter! And as we shed useless layers of clothing, spend more time in the pool, and less time out of the air conditioning, it’s very likely our food tastes will change as well! Heartier meals sit heavy in our stomachs and we find ourselves turning to lighter dishes to sate our hunger, but as there are only so many salads a human to eat, we have discovered that tacos are the answers to most of our cravings! When you find yourself craving a taste of summer flavors, head on over to one of our Modern Tortilla food trucks and savor the taste of the tacos we do so well!

Angling for Appetizers?

Although tacos are a favorite every season of the year, during the summer months you may prefer something smaller, and our appetizer menu is the perfect place to find what you are looking for! Our chicken flautas made with braised chicken, served in a lightly fried flour tortilla and topped with shredded cheddar cheese, tomatillo salsa, and Mexican crema are destined to be the meal you crave all season long!

Dreaming About Taco Tuesday Every Day of the Week!

To be absolutely honest, we are unable to think of a single time when we have heard someone say, “Nah, it’s just too hot for tacos!” Whether it’s 115 degrees and the sun is beating down relentlessly or the temperatures have dropped to 100 degrees with 95 percent humidity and we are walking through air so thick you can almost see it, tacos are what we all dream about! Modern Tortilla’s tacos are especially delicious and come in a variety of flavors, including the Modern Mayan with braised pork, the El Ranchero with beef skirt steak, and our summer favorite, Flew the Coop! Starring our famous chicken tinga, this taco is one you will find yourself returning for time and time again!

Quench Your Thirst with Our Summer Flavors

We all know the importance of staying hydrated, especially in the heat of summer, and as such, our ice-cold bottled waters will be flying off the shelves. But rest assured, for those who love something sweet to quench their thirst, bottled and canned sodas are available, as is that south of the border favorite, horchata!

Can’t Stop Thinking About Those Tacos Now?

Stop by today and enjoy the taste of summer with a refreshing taco from Modern Tortilla!
