How Mingle + Graze Transformed into Downtown Chandler’s Must-Visit Hotspot

Entrepreneurship often takes on different forms. For some, it’s sparked by a sudden inspiration, while for others, it emerges from careful planning. Mahfam Moeeni-Alarcon and her husband Cristobal Alarcon embody the latter approach with the establishment of Mingle + Graze, which opened its doors in January 2019 in downtown Chandler.
The couple’s journey into the culinary world wasn’t entirely defined at the outset. Their vision gradually sharpened as they recognized the gap for a cozy, community-focused dining experience in the area. Mingle + Graze now serves as a testament to their dedication and adaptability.
Since its inception, the establishment has attracted a diverse clientele, drawn in by the unique offerings and inviting atmosphere. The couple’s commitment to creating a welcoming space has resonated with locals, fostering a sense of community among patrons.
As they continue to refine their concept, Moeeni-Alarcon and Alarcon remain focused on their initial goal: providing a space for connection and enjoyment. With every dish served, they aim to further contribute to Chandler’s vibrant dining scene.
