Friday Night's Fun

de la Cruz Bistro in Downtown Mesa.

The place was full, and much to our delight; dancers and music. We had not a clue what entertain and fun we would have watching and listening. This dancer, Liliana is fantastic. If I could do half of the movements she does, I would be thin for life. The food, oh my, the food...it was wonderful, a blend of Cuban, Mexican and South American delights. If you are in Mesa some evening and with not a clue where to eat….try this delightful restaurant.

Shop local- why in Mesa?

Have you ever walked out of a chain store frustrated by the lack of service or appreciation for having spent your time and money with them? It happens all the time these days, in fact we seem to think it is par for the course and blow it off. Small micro enterprises provide service with a personal touch. It matters to them that you are satisfied and if you will come back again or tell your friends about them. Restaurants are happy to change menu items to fit your taste, retailers know their product lines and can help with that hard to find item. Making you happy is actually one of their goals not simply selling on the premise of volume.

Downtown Mesa businesses tend to stick around when times get harder. They doesn’t easily pack up and leave town for “better” pastures. When you spend your money in our locally owned small business your money sticks around as well. It is re-circulated over and over. Downtown Mesa business owners take their profits and buy products and services from other local businesses. All of the tax revenue for each of these cycles of purchasing stays right here in Mesa. It's a personal accountability thing. If we keep our hard earned money moving around in Mesa we do our part to keep the community the kind of place we like to call home.
