    I got the chicken Cancun burrito in the chicken was extremely dry in a tortillas were old but the guacamole was good. There are no tables dedicated, the seating is more cafeteria like. The salsa is decent.

    Note to management: visited Terminal E location mid morning. Ordered a breakfast taco. Staff would not provide salsa. I could see the medium salsa containers on the counter and was told I could buy a medium salsa. Also could not get pico de gallo. People behind me told the same. Do better!

    My nachos were cold, asked if I could get them warmed up or some hot cheese I could pour on it. Manager walked up, shoved her ungloved finger into my nachos and said it wasn't cold then honestly expected me to sit down and keep eating said nachos. Honestly one of the nastiest things I've ever witnessed.
