    It’s really no more expensive than their traditional restaurants even though it’s in the airport but there is a limited menu. Regardless, the food and service are good, it’s made to order so always fresh and hot.

    Went for a special occasion. Servers took away our chips a couple times when we weren't finished eating. Waitress took way too long to notice my water needed refilling. Food was bland and over incredibly over priced. At some point they forgot for our request for more tortillas. The only reason this isn't a one star review is because after hearing an audible complaint about the food the manager did offer to comp free desert and a different meal (which we politely declined). Not coming back, pick some place different for your special occasions.

    Yum! I had breakfast quesadillas and the hubs had a breakfast plate. Best food I’ve ever eaten in an airport! Ate it too fast for photos. 😅
