We went to the AZ Natural History Museum around the corner and needed a spot for lunch. We had no clue what to try in downtown Mesa, so we popped into de la Cruz Bistro on chance. After glancing at the menu, we decided to stay. We are so glad we did!! I had a smoked chicken salad sandwich and a side salad with berry vinaigrette that was amazing! They didn't have any items on the menu specifically for kids, but said they would make them some plain pasta. We had a quiet, leisurely lunch (only 4 other people in the place) and topped it off with delicious cheesecake for dessert. The portion was large and I took half my sandwich home to enjoy later. If we are ever in the downtown Mesa area again, we will go back!
