Problem: I love danish, I love danish, yes I do. Mom's is the quintessential mom & pop spot. In the far corner of a down on its heels strip mall in Mesa, sharing space between a defunct tattoo parlor and an animal clinic. On the business food chain, Mom's might be even a rung or two below mom and pop. An example of a rung below is the fact they don't take credit cards and their hours are Tues-Sat 6am-12pm...So, do your shopping early. Credit issues and hours aside, Mom's knows baked goods. Especially danish, dangerously tasty danish, food coma danish.. Real danish, danish made with real fruit, creamy custard and tons, l-i-t-e-r-a-l-l-y tons of butter... Now, this is not some crummy, flaky palm sized danish that Safeway, or whomever is your local grocer is, trying to pawn off as danish. NO, no, no, no. This is HUGE - intended to be a breakfast for 6 or more. Actually, it is referred to as a twist and it is several danishes tied/braided together. Comes in a few different fruit varieties, cherry, apple, etc and the pastry is heaven. It could have something to do with the butter quantity, it is flaky without being dry or chewy, it melts in your mouth and is the perfect compliment to the custard and fruit. You will be leaving with an enormous plastic bag of several danishes upon purchase. The brownies, the breakfast breads, the butter cookies are all good but did I mention the danish, you really have to try the danish.

Problem: This is the best place to grab a sandwich after a tough workout. This place is fast too so you don't have to wait around like you would at a subway. Much better quality ingredients too. Try the Vito and the Beach club. I've never had any complaints about the workers and they always seemed friendly to me and greet me on my way in and out. I will be back for more subs.

Problem: Shame on you, La Canasta. Your 38th & Indian School location let me down this morning after years of faithfulness. I have loved your machaca and egg burritos for many years and this morning, the machaca was dry (leftover from yesterday?), the tortilla was old, not a green onion to be found, and the cheese was non-existent. Maybe Sylvia's on 7th Avenue will re-consider opening early on weekdays.

Problem: Was really excited to eat at Max's after a very long time but the wait, the service and the food was not worth it all. Wait time was over an hour, and there were empty tables that needed to be cleaned. The crew lacked teamwork. Mishaps were being discussed by the cashier and the waitress (who was pretending to be busy by wiping down the menus) which could have been discussed later with a superior maybe as an after-action report. Some of the crew were really busy but some were walking around in a daze. We ordered our drinks and our food together but it took a long time for the drinks to come and when they did, they missed a few people's orders in our table of 8. FInally, after what seemed like a long wait, our food came, not at the same time. So because we were starving, whoever got their food first already started eating. When our food came, it was mediocre. I ordered the crab fried rice and there were egg shells in it. The sizzling sisig was drowning in oil. The rest of the food was okay, nothing worth mentioning. The only good thing that stood out was the nilaga, which was really tasty.
