Hand Pressed Tortillas
The foundation of any great taco is the tortilla, and SOHO Taco doesn’t settle for anything less than the best. Their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients is evident in their use of hand-pressed tortillas. Unlike store-bought tortillas, which can be dry, flavorless, and prone to cracking, hand-pressed tortillas boast a unique texture and taste.
Hand-pressed tortillas are the traditional method of preparing tortillas, adding a touch of authenticity to your taco experience. The act of pressing the dough creates air pockets, resulting in a slightly puffed tortilla with a more complex flavor profile. The process of hand-pressing tortillas creates a slightly thicker and chewier texture compared to store-bought varieties. This allows the tortilla to cradle the fillings without breaking, ensuring a perfect bite every time.
With a backdrop as stunning as Villa Verano and a culinary experience orchestrated by SOHO Taco, your wedding rehearsal dinner is guaranteed to be a resounding success. The combination of fresh, high-quality ingredients, hand-pressed tortillas, and a vibrant atmosphere creates a celebration that is both intimate and unforgettable. As your guests gather around tables adorned with colorful platters and steaming bowls, laughter and conversation will fill the air, setting the perfect tone for the joyous wedding festivities to come.
