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?

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.

Best AZ Comfort Food at Modern Tortilla

AZ comfort food

When life gets crazy and your job begins to overwhelm, chances are you head home to drown your troubles in the comfort meals that always seem to make life better. Nothing makes you feel better about your life than your favorite dishes! In many parts of the nation, comfort meals may be macaroni and cheese, casseroles, even a big plate filled with fried chicken and mashed potatoes, but in the Southwest, the foods that comfort often come with a spicy twist, something that makes Modern Tortilla the first place you think of when times are toughest. This guide to our best AZ comfort food will help you spend less time thinking about what to eat and more time actually consuming the meal!

Tacos for the Win

The question shouldn’t be what problems can a good taco from Modern Tortilla resolve, but what problems CAN’T they solve? Filled with the spicy meats you love, (chicken tinga, carne asada, and delicious veggies for those that can’t handle the meat) that first bite will wipe your mind clear of any issues that may be clouding it! And because enough is never enough when eating Mexican food, all our plates are accompanied by a large helping of chips and salsa! How can anyone feel bad about anything when devouring chips and salsa?

Food for the Soul

You don’t have to be suffering from melancholy to enjoy a comfort meal. Sometimes a good meal filled with your favorites just enhances an evening that is already wonderful, and our Southwest Burrito Plate (also served with chips and salsa) can be the shining star of your fantastic time! Juicy carne asada and farm fresh sweet corn embraced by one of our handmade chili flour tortillas and topped with cilantro and Monterey cheddar blend makes this burrito a super-sized comfort meal that will bring joy to your soul.

Before You Go

Sometimes the best AZ comfort food isn’t a meal at all, and our house made mason jar lemonade is the perfect example! Is there anything more comforting than an icy glass of sweet and tart lemonade on a day when record high summer temperatures are making you reconsider life in the desert? Stop by Modern Tortilla today for a meal and a lemonade and forget that the temperatures are reaching 120 soon!

Stay Warm with a Hot Winter Meal from Modern Tortilla Food Truck

Even in the desert, winter nights can get cold, and if you have lived in Arizona for a decent amount of time, your blood thins, and you feel the cold far stronger than visitors from the east! We don’t complain, though, because we think of winter as our reward for surviving summer, and it gives us a chance to stay warm with a hot winter meal, a meal from Modern Tortilla food truck, preferably! Our food trucks offer the spicy heat of food that originated South of the Border, or if you prefer, you can seek out the delicious comfort foods offered through our meal prep service. In either case, we will feed you the foods that soothe the soul and warm you from the inside out!

Impossible to Stay Chilled

No matter how low the temperatures drop on a winter night in the Phoenix Metropolitan area, it is impossible to stay chilled when sampling our specialties! Follow our food trucks and binge on a thick steak burrito created with chili flour tortilla, carne asada, white onion, shredded cheddar, cilantro, lime crema, fresh jalapeño, served with shredded lettuce on the side. These hearty meals are hot and delicious, giving a winter’s night a cozy feeling that you wish could last forever! The sweet taste of our crème filled churros offer the perfect finish to your dinner, and although they are rich, you might want to order more than a few as they are addictively wonderful, and one just might not be enough!

Meal Prep to the Rescue

As you drive into work in the dark, drive home from work in the dark, and fill every minute in between with meetings, school events, and overtime, the thought of coming home and fixing a new meal every night of the week exhausts you. Until relatively recently our favorite people, our guests, had to resort to takeout meals or cold sandwiches, neither of which were pleasing! Our new meal prep menus, however, have changed all that, allowing you to pick out the menus for the week just by browsing online and having them delivered on Sunday. Although it may be tough to narrow your choices, knowing that is the most difficult part of ordering meal prep makes your winter evenings happy, peaceful, and so very restful!
