Description

This order-at-the-counter place should have something for all tastes. A fast-moving line ensures that your meal will not take long. Del Grande's touch can be seen throughout the menu. A simple shrimp and avocado salad is enhanced by chipotle salsa and jicama. The black bean soup is made bolder with roasted tomatoes. The California burger, in addition to having slices of avocado, also includes artichoke hearts. Heartier dishes include a Spanish chicken romesco made with roasted peppers and almonds, and the roasted half-chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. Various locations around town.

    Amazing brunch with inexpensive mimosas. You should try the warm grilled chicken salad; the sauce is amazing. Every meal there has been delicious but brunch is definately not to be missed.

    Don't you hate it when you order a salad and they haven't sprinkled enough croutons on it, at least not as many as you would like? You'll never have that problem at Cafe Express. Whoever designed this place was smart enough to leave extra toppings in big jars at a kiosk. Gourmet toppings, too, for that matter: sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, jalapeņos, sweet roasted garlic, capers, crisp pickle slices, zingy gherkin pickles, olives with pits intact and, yes, croutons. Like a cherry on top ... More »
