SOHO Taco Steals the Show at a Company Soiree

Los Angeles is a city that thrives on vibrancy, where cultures and flavors collide. Recently, I had the pleasure of catering a company gathering alongside SOHO Taco, a renowned gourmet taco catering company based in Orange County. This wasn’t your average taco catering event. SOHO Taco elevates the humble taco into an art form, and this company party was the perfect canvas for their culinary masterpiece.

The Tacos

The heart of any taco fiesta lies in the fillings themselves, and SOHO Taco did not disappoint. We offered a quartet of delectable options, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. The carne asada, marinated to melt-in-your-mouth perfection, was a crowd-pleaser. The pollo asado, with its smoky and savory notes, offered a delightful contrast. For the vegetarian guests, the gourmet veggie taco, bursting with fresh, seasonal produce, was a revelation.

But the true showstopper was the shrimp taco. Plump, succulent shrimp were cooked to a delicate doneness, their sweetness accentuated by the vibrant mango salsa. This was a recommendation I made, and the look of pure joy on every face who tried it solidified my belief that sometimes, the simplest pairings create the most magical results. The veggie and shrimp tacos were further elevated with melted pepper jack cheese, adding a touch of warmth and spice, while the chipotle sour cream provided a cooling counterpoint.

Toppings & Sides

No taco is complete without a plethora of toppings, and SOHO Taco’s selection was nothing short of spectacular. Fresh cilantro and red onion offered a burst of color and brightness. Limes, wedges of sunshine, added a refreshing acidity. Jack cheese, a creamy indulgence, brought a touch of richness. Heirloom pico de gallo, bursting with the essence of summer tomatoes, was a revelation for many.

But the true stars of the topping table were the house-made salsas. The mango salsa, with its sweet and spicy interplay, was a perfect match for the shrimp tacos. Guacamole, a classic with a twist, offered a luxuriously creamy counterpoint to the savory fillings. The spicy green salsa provided a welcome kick for those who craved a touch of heat, while the mild red tomato salsa offered a more traditional flavor profile.

The sides were equally impressive. Black beans, slow-cooked to creamy perfection, provided a hearty and protein-rich accompaniment. Lemon rice, fragrant and light, was the perfect foil to the richer flavors of the tacos. And then there were the handmade tortilla chips – golden brown, crispy on the outside, and yielding within – the ideal vessel for scooping up all that deliciousness.

Horchata Aqua Fresca

As the California sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the guests were treated to a refreshing interlude – horchata aqua fresca. This traditional Mexican beverage, made with rice milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, offered a cool and calming respite. Its subtle sweetness and delicate spice were the perfect complement to the plethora of flavors on the taco bar.

The Delights of Dessert

No fiesta is complete without a touch of indulgence, and SOHO Taco provided the perfect ending with a selection of delectable desserts. Chocolate-covered strawberries, a timeless classic, offered a delightful combination of sweet and tart. But the true star of the show was the chocoflan. This Mexican dessert, a heavenly marriage of chocolate cake and flan, was a textural and flavor explosion. The smooth, creamy flan contrasted beautifully with the rich, decadent chocolate cake, creating a truly unforgettable finale.

SOHO Taco Wins Hearts (and Stomachs)

As the final guests departed, their faces aglow with satisfaction, it was clear that SOHO Taco had not just catered an event, they had created an experience. The food was more than just sustenance, it was a conversation starter, a bridge between cultures, and a celebration of life’s simple pleasures. The vibrant flavors, the fresh ingredients, the meticulous attention to detail – it all culminated in a symphony of taste that left a lasting impression.

The night concluded with the event hosts expressing their desire to have SOHO Taco cater their high school graduation party later this year. This, perhaps, was the ultimate testament to the success of the evening. SOHO Taco had not just filled stomachs, they had captured hearts.

A Toast to Unforgettable Experiences

The sun may have set on this company soirée, but the memory of SOHO Taco’s culinary artistry lingers on. This was more than just a taco catering experience; it was a testament to the power of food to bring people together and create lasting memories. It was a celebration of vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, and the joy of sharing a delicious meal with good company. As we look forward to future culinary adventures, one thing is certain: SOHO Taco has raised the bar, reminding us that even the simplest dish can be elevated to an art form when crafted with passion and expertise. So, raise a glass (or a cup of horchata aqua fresca) to unforgettable experiences, to the joy of good food, and to the magic that unfolds when talented caterers like SOHO Taco take center stage.
