    Filled my order in 90 sloppy seconds after screwing around for 40 minutes after ordering. (Also this is an airport, where we are all in a rush). Completely disorganised and chaotic. After 40 minutes of standing in front of the counter, I asked them to fill my order, and they couldn’t find it. So I had to hand them my receipt. After that they were wandering back and forth in the kitchen? and I had to remind them again to give me my food. My husband got three tacos, I got a chicken bowl and chips. $45. And the bowl was NOT good! Save your money and Please don’t go here.

    I came to this restaurant because it was one of the least busy places to eat. They were still busy but not as much as the others. I ordered two tacos (one al pastor and one chicken chimichurri), one chips with queso blanco, and one aqua fresca). Prices are expensive just because it's at an airport. I got my food pretty fast. I went to wait for my food and the employee called my name. She told me no more pork and if I would like chicken, shrimp, or fish instead. I chose fish. She made my tacos fast. She gave me chips with guacamole. The guacamole costed more than the queso blanco, but she gave me the guacamole no charge. She upgraded my drink for free. I got the mango. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because the mango drink was a bit too sour for my taste. Other than that, the customer service was fantastic. Employees went above and beyond for me. Food quality was good.

    Got some sort of chicken bowl w extra side of rice and beans. It was okay. Not particularly good but not as bad as some other airport food I've had.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at that restaurant. Despite ordering a bowl with extra chicken and toppings, I received only a few pieces of chicken, some cabbage, and cheese. To make matters worse, the restaurant was out of almost everything on the menu. I reached out to the management about my concerns, but no one has bothered to respond. It's clear that they don't care about their customers, and I strongly advise others to avoid this place at all costs.

    We had a short 30 minutes between flights and decided to grab dinner at the first place we saw that didn’t have a long line. We love tacos, and are not picky eaters. When we were told they were out of all items except chicken tacos, we should have known. But we were in a bind and said fine, just one order of chicken tacos then. Again, not picky. But when I say these were disgusting, I mean, we both had one bite and dumped the rest. We couldn’t even stomach it. I feel like they need to give up this highly coveted airport spot to a place that actually wants to serve good food. Never again.

    I ordered the stake, egg and cheese breakfast tacos, they were awful! One of the worst tacos I’ve ever tried. The steak is over seasoned, tortillas are cold, and the service people were not polite.

    Received our food in less than 5 minutes from ordering. Not amazing but not horrible. Healthier option than others nearby. Prices were a bit high. $12-$15 for burritos and $10-$14 for tacos. Lots of seating nearby and friendly staff.

    Gross!!! I’m so disappointed. It was hard to eat but I paid $25 for 2 tacos, queso, chips and a drink so I managed to choke it down up until I got close to the end when I found a hair. I’ll never be that hungry. Listen to the reviews! They’re AWFUL!!!

    The service here from the manager was terrific! He made sure we got taken care of and we were happy. The bacon egg and cheese breakfast burrito was great for a quick meal before our next flight. At the end of the day, it’s still an airport so it’s a bit pricey, but if we are in this airport again we will be back.

    I ordered a breakfast burrito. After having to go get a bowl because this thing was so stuck to the packaging, the picture shows how I ended up having to eat it. It's a good thing a . I was happy. At least I hadn't walked all the way to my gate, I would have been furious. After all that It was NOT even good food 🤢 Nevet again.
