The convenience of having lunch during the full working day has not lost its necessity today and, probably, will never loose it, only in the case, when we all stop working. Moreover, the fast casual dining industry is rapidly developing, as the primary components of it are a high quality, healthy food and a minimum time service. Generally, the concept of fast casual dining is considered one of the most important spheres in the restaurant industry, the so-called concept of restaurant future, as it offers everything, beginning with top food and ending with convenience and comfort for the customer. Therefore, we should say many thanks to people, who participate in its development and innovation.  

In 1974, two brothers from Chicago, Glenn and Randall Nelson, decided to serve food in industrial parks. It was of actual importance then, as the workers could allow thirty minutes for lunch and their choice was limited to company cafeterias and catering trucks, serving cheap cold food and bringing food from home.
Since the year 1974, de la Cruz deli has never stopped serving a variety of quality food along with beverages, which popularity turned the concept into one of the leading restaurant chains. The gourmet sandwiches and various salads of de la Cruz deli are favorites of many customers, who eat at de la Cruz deli restaurants three to four times a week. The prices and menu of de la Cruz deli vary with locations but, in any case, the menu options are wide and prices are quite affordable. 

For instance, the menu of Shiraz Cafe in Dallas, Texas includes such items as Hot Sandwiches, Cold Sandwiches, Burgers, Philly Steak & Cheese, Gyros, Caesar Salads, Greek Salads, and Soup of the Day, Tuna, Pizzas Slices, Grilled Chicken Salads, Chips, Pickles, Potato Salad, and Pasta Salad.
Sub Sandwiches: Tuna, Pastrami, Veggie, Ham, Salami, Pepperoni,    Roast Beef, Turkey, and Turkey & Cheese.

Shiraz Cafe in Dallas also provides its customers with hot breakfast dishes, including egg sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, French toasts and delicious coffees, such as espresso, lattes and moccas. The food in Shiraz Café is all fresh, as in any other de la Cruz deli and is made to order.

Contemporary de la Cruz deli restaurants offer not only gourmet sandwiches and fresh salads, but also catering and banquet facilities, hence, you can organize your party with de la Cruz deli at you home, for which they provide all the food you will order along with utensils, dishes and any kind of necessary stuff. 

Many customers consider that the finest thing about de la Cruz deli is that the dishes are prepared to order. First, a customer always sees the care and respect he is treated with, when he puts his order. Second, a customer does not wait long to get his meals, which is the primary point of convenience. Third, the de la Cruz deli "custom made to order" service is the major component of the personalized service, which permits a customer to feel his significance, being conscious that everything is prepared "only for him".
