In like a lion - that's March. With the winter in the rearview mirror, Downtown Mesa steers toward more new business openings (including longtime locals' favorite, El Charro) poised to drive more footsteps to the District.
Out like a lamb? We'll see about that!

al Fresco off Main Update |
|
Since kicking off the Downtown Dash delivery service at the al Fresco off Main dining area (Main & MacDonald), we've learned a great deal about the dining habits of our downtown visitors. At this time of year, the outdoor tables (and ordering for delivery) are very popular at lunchtime, but evenings are more popular IN our restaurants. With that in mind, we've tweaked the al Fresco off Main and Downtown Dash hours:
-
Tuesday through Saturday, 11am to 5:30pm: al Fresco off Main is open and available for eating, visiting with friends, holding meetings in a safely-distanced area, etc.
-
Thursday and Friday, 11am to 2pm: Downtown Dash delivery service hours. Live music will be scheduled during these hours.
-
Saturday, 11am to 5pm: Downtown Dash delivery service hours. Live music will be scheduled noon to 3pm.
Performing this week:
These new hours went into effect on Tuesday, March 2nd.
