This was the year of parking a large truck in front of our house and calling it a party! For Aaron’s 40th birthday, we hired a food truck to feed us for 2 hours. The prep for this party was dreamy. I simply filled some beverage dispensers with lemonade, threw ice and beer in galvanized tubs, and put my make-up on. All the food was left in the hands of Contigo Mondern Mexican.

We served the Gorditas on trays in the back yard as appetizers. They were small pockets of yummy [fried] goodness. For dinner, each guest was able to order four tacos of their choice. Many mixed and matched to sample them all.
I loved how our guests mingled in the driveway when waiting for their tacos. There were ongoing discussions regrading which taco was the favorite. I am not sure there was a consensus, but my personal favorite was the Beef Picadillo. The onion jam made this taco sweet and spicy.
To end our meal, we served churros. Who doesn’t love a churro? In my opinion, there is nothing better than fried crispy dough coated with cinnamon sugar. I may have had more than one [and possibly one heated up the next morning for breakfast].
Contigo also brought along Habenero Lemonade. It was curiously hot, sweet and spicy all at the same time. There was vodka and tequila to mix in, as well as regular lemonade. A signature cocktail that was simple and easy to serve.
The meal, from start to finish, was divine! The Contigo staff served delicious food and were breeze to work with. I would highly recommend hiring a food truck for a special occasion. As the hostess, you have absolutely no stress regarding the meal and your guests will love it.
[If you live in the Seattle area, I used Seattle Food Truck to find Contigo. It was an amazing resource to find a truck to cater your event. Plus, it lists all of the food trucks in the area and where they are serving up food during the week.]
