If you’re looking for something besides a grilled cheese sandwich and French fries to satisfy your child’s appetite, Café Lago has lots of options. Its most popular: the noodles. They come with homemade marinara sauce and a choice of grilled chicken or salmon. “That’s when you can tell the kids are really developing a palate,” owner Gabriela Kovacic says. The menu also includes Kiddie Kold Kuts, a simple and easy choice for toddlers. It has turkey, ham, cheddar, pickles and tomato slices served finger-food style. There’s also a dog menu and dog-friendly patio, so the kids don’t have to leave their furry companions at home. Also, when you order from the kids’ menu, you’re helping feed a hungry child. Fifteen percent of proceeds benefit the North Texas Food Bank’s Food 4 Kids program, which provides a backpack full of food for children while they’re not in school.
