Healthy Eating for Kids at Casa de Bandini
0
When dining out, it can be difficult for parents to find children’s menus with food that their kids actually want to eat. It’s even harder to find healthy selections! At Casa de Bandini, we have a great Kid’s Menu with tasty meals that boys and girls will love, served with nutritious sides like carrots and celery sticks.
Kids can choose from classics, including a Cheese Quesadilla with fresh fruit, carrots and celery sticks, or a Healthy Mexican Pizza – a baked flour tortilla topped with salsa, grilled chicken and cheese, served with fresh fruit, carrots and celery sticks.
In addition to the food, your little ones will enjoy our colorful and inviting atmosphere – especially the strolling mariachis! We often see excited children staring in amazement as señoritas create handmade, fresh flour and corn tortillas in our Tortilla Kitchen. Every visit is a fiesta at Casa de Bandini!
We hope to see you soon with the whole family!
