Cafe Azul - Mesa

Phil and eva are amazing! they made us feel at home, especially for someone who travels weekly to az and is in az more than my own home. I am looking forward to coming to the city every week to visit them both. I will say, however, the menu needs an upgrade.

A hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Mesa, located within the Marriott hotel! The food is excellent, the service is attentive, and the prices are reasonable. But the real standout is the atmosphere! It's cozy and inviting, featuring couch-style seating and large bay windows that can be opened when the weather is nice. It's a fantastic spot for lunch or a special meal with that special someone if you're seeking privacy. The Chicken Noodle Soup with orzo and generous chunks of delicious chicken is a delight. The sandwiches are hearty, and the salads are unique and very fresh. It's not easy to find, but definitely worth the effort!

I had a wonderful experience with my children. The food arrived quickly, and the customer service was exceptional. The prices are also very reasonable.

We were the only customers in the restaurant, and it took nearly 15 minutes for our food to arrive. The bacon was burnt, and my egg was cold. I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 because the waitress was friendly, attentive, and very nice, and the place was clean.

It gets a star for the white bean soup, which was pretty good. Beyond that, it all goes downhill. Slow service, few vegetarian options, three big screen TVs blaring sports, cold french fries... Unfortunately, I had to eat here three times because we were trapped on the property and there isn 't anything else. At lunch, I ordered the grilled cheese and specifically asked that they use Cheddar cheese instead of the menu American cheese. After sending it back twice, I gave up and ate the American cheese. And really, Mediterranean flare??? The lunch menu features hot dogs, fast food french fries, Zesta plastic wrapped saltines with the soup, and over-oiled cafeteria style pasta salad. If you 're staying at this hotel, you 'd do good to visit a grocery store ahead of time and eat in your room.
