Downtown

Of course, we take Bear 🐻 🐾 everywhere 😍

A quick drive by through downtown Mesa Arizona. Of course, we pass food trucks, stands, tire shop taco shops, 🤭, gas station tacos, and different cultures of food. The first stop was the empanada restaurant; I’d been craving that for a couple days 😉 ⤵️

REPÚBLICA EMPANADA damn delicious 😋 word! THAT was delicious! We ate in the car, which I never do, but…hey 😳 we had our dog, Bear, with us, so we scratched the sit-down inside idea.

While waiting, I checked out the artwork outside…

The FOOD! ⤵️

Chicken empanada
I got the fig mozzarella, my daughter got the Nutella banana sweet ones.
As for savory, I got the pernil, she got the popper ham & cheese (jalapeño).

Jalapeño ham & cream cheese 🌶🧀 😋 she said they’re not whimpy about the Jalapeño either 🤭 aka the popper

Then, onto Farmer’s Market. Spotted that sign! As usual, I got some good raw unfiltered honey 🍯 😋🐝 , and a loaf of jalapeño cheddar bread.

We peeked into Mesa Urban Garden; it looked really nice.

There’s a big grill and picnic tables, where they hold some events.

That made for a nice day 🥰 🌄 ✨️

Oh, and music underfoot 😉🎶🎵

But then…downtown is full of art, of all kinds 🎨 🖌
