What's Crackin' at power and mcdowell has happy hour from 12:30-close every day (i go for happy hour at least a couple weekends per month). They are mainly a breakfast/lunch place so they close at like 4:30 most days, but on thurs and friday they are open until late in the evening, and on fridays they have live music (i go for that sometimes too). 

Zugoi sushi (formerly called Sushi Kee, the same people have owned it forever) is my favorite sushi place, it's on power and main.

Cracker's Cafe on greenfield and brown is my hands down favorite breakfast spot. The french toast is incredible!

In downtown mesa, Goat & Ram pizza (inside Phantom Fox brewery) is incredible, and also in downtown mesa is Gus's Fried Chicken, which is sooooo good.

I have lived here 20 years so i have discovered a lot of favorites. 😂
