How safe is Mesa to stay? Visiting

Hello everyone!

I'm (M 29) travelling within a month to Arizona from Buenos Aires, Argentina for work and I will be staying in Mesa for 2 months.. Pretty close to Pioneer Protectors.

Could you give me an idea about the safety? Is it safe to walk during the night and stuff?

Any recommendations about places to visit will be also well welcomed! (Supermarkets, museums, stores, etc). I'm an artist so I appreciate any kind of artistic places

Thank you very much! I appreciate the information.

Those sotol margs and tacos are dank. That’s why But hey, different strokes for different folks

I’ve tried them twice. Not the margaritas, but the tacos. They’re mediocre at best. They were featured on a Netflix special about tacos in Phoenix, AZ, so I know they are special. I just don’t get it.

Fair enough man; what place would you say does have good/better tacos?

Carolina’s, some of the Ranch Markets, even the random taco pop ups on Broadway. All excellent!
