900 Burritos, 3 Kitchens, 4 Hours: How One Family Restaurant Pulled Off Phoenix's Wildest Catering Challenge
Tempe, United States - August 14, 2025 / The Taco Spot - Tempe /
The Taco Spot Christown coordinated three Valley Taco Spot kitchens—Christown, Tempe, and North Phoenix—starting at 2 AM to prepare and deliver 900 authentic Mexican breakfast burritos for a major corporate client having an event at Global Credit Union Arena in Grand Canyon University.
The family-owned restaurant's teams worked through the early morning hours, proving that authentic preparation can meet big business demands without cutting corners.
Filling a Real Need in the Valley of the Sun
Corporate breakfast catering in Phoenix often involves a choice between fast, yet flavorless, chain options or authentic food that struggles with large orders.
While chain competitors rely on pre-made ingredients and assembly-line preparation, local businesses wanted an authentic Mexican breakfast that could feed their entire workforce.
Family Teamwork Across Three Taco Spot Kitchens
The challenge required all three locations to start prep work at 2 AM, with each kitchen preparing 300 burritos using the Taco Spot traditional family breakfast burrito recipe.
Teams coordinated delivery timing across 15 miles of Valley geography, ensuring every burrito arrived hot and fresh to the event at the event.
The same birria recipe that the founder's father still oversees, combined with handmade tortillas and fresh salsas, went into every single breakfast burrito—no shortcuts, no pre-made ingredients.
The Taco Spot Owner's Perspective
"When a big company trusts us with catering their team event, that's huge," said Noe Ruiz Jr., owner of The Taco Spot Tempe.
"Our crews worked together like family, starting before sunrise to make sure every burrito was perfect. That's what you get when you choose authentic Mexican food over corporate chains—real people who care about every order, whether it's one taco or 900 burritos."
