Santa Monica Sunset, A Meatless Taco Fiesta
The sun dips below the Santa Monica pier, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. Laughter and conversation fill the air as friends gather for a festive gathering. But there’s a twist – tonight’s feast is a vibrant celebration of flavor, all crafted from the freshest ingredients and completely meat-free. SOHO Taco is here to prove that a plant-based taco catering spread can be just as, if not more, exciting than its traditional counterpart, showcasing the culinary magic possible when fresh, high-quality ingredients are the stars of the show.
A Seafood Soiree from the Sea to Your Plate
While some might associate tacos with land-dwelling creatures, the ocean offers a bounty of delicious possibilities. SOHO Taco’s succulent mahi-mahi tacos are a testament to that. Made in-house daily, these tacos showcase the delicate sweetness of the fish, caught fresh and delivered straight to their kitchens. Topped with fresh cabbage for a delightful crunch and a dollop of chipotle sour cream for a touch of smoky heat, these tacos are a refreshing and light way to kick off the fiesta.
Shrimp tacos bring a touch of indulgence, featuring plump, juicy shrimp bathed in melted cheese. The familiar pairing is elevated with the coolness of freshly chopped cabbage and the smoky intrigue of chipotle sour cream, all made from scratch in SOHO Taco’s kitchen.
Vegetarian and Vegan Delights
SOHO Taco doesn’t stop at seafood. Their vegetarian and vegan options are a testament to the versatility of plant-based cuisine, prepared daily with the freshest seasonal ingredients. The signature veggie tacos are a crowd-pleaser, bursting with a medley of fresh vegetables and bold flavors that will leave everyone wanting more. Spicy potato tacos offer a fiery kick, showcasing the humble spud’s potential for culinary excitement. Bell peppers, onions, and jalapeños, all freshly chopped in-house, dance a tango on your taste buds, perfectly balanced by the creamy sides and cooling salsas.
For those seeking a more unique flavor profile, the calabacitas tacos are a revelation. Tender zucchini, sweet corn, and flavorful onions mingle with the subtle heat of jalapeños, all brought together by the richness of cubed avocado. This taco is a textural and taste bud adventure in every bite, made entirely with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Sides Made with Care
No taco fiesta is complete without the perfect accompaniments. SOHO Taco provides a trio of classic sides that complement any taco choice, all prepared fresh daily in their kitchens. Refried beans offer a comforting heartiness, slow-cooked with fresh spices for an authentic flavor. Spanish rice adds a fluffy, flavorful base, cooked with a blend of aromatic vegetables. The star of the show might just be the homemade tortilla chips, perfect for scooping up salsa, guacamole, or simply enjoying on their own. Made from scratch with fresh, high-quality corn, these chips are a delicious and addictive addition to any taco.
A Condiment Heaven
Forget the one-note melody – SOHO Taco’s condiment selection is a full-fledged chorus of flavors. Fresh cilantro, chopped daily, offers a touch of herbal brightness, while diced red onion, chopped in-house for maximum freshness, adds a sharp bite. A squeeze of lime, freshly squeezed for the purest flavor, enhances every ingredient, and jack cheese, grated in-house, provides a creamy, salty element.
But the real stars are the salsas. Spicy green salsa, made with fresh chilies and roasted vegetables, brings the heat, while mild red salsa, crafted with fire-roasted tomatoes and onions, offers a more approachable option. For those seeking a burst of freshness, the heirloom pico de gallo and mango salsa elevate any taco with their vibrant and unique flavors. Made daily with the ripest seasonal ingredients, these salsas are not just reserved for seafood or veggie tacos – they’re a welcome addition to any creation your guests dream up.
Refreshing Aguas Frescas
As the California sun dips below the horizon, a cool and refreshing drink is the perfect way to end the evening. SOHO Taco’s selection of aguas frescas are all-natural, handcrafted beverages that burst with flavor. From the creamy sweetness of horchata to the tart vibrancy of jamaica, there’s a flavor to quench every thirst.
Pineapple, watermelon, strawberry, blood orange, and lavender cucumber lemonade round out the selection, offering a delightful range of sweet and refreshing options.
