This makes you realize why big fast food chains in airports can be nice - they actually know how to serve good food to people quickly. Where is the nearest Chipotle?

    The prices for the portion sizes are ridiculous, even by airport standards. I probably would have just shrugged it off if the chips the salad came with hadn't been cooked in rancid oil.

    Waited in line forever. Only one worker making food. Finally my turn, asked for chicken tortilla soup which is one the menu. Just to be told we don't have that here. Thanks for nothing. Update your menu and hire more workers.

    They are supposed to open at 6AM. With plenty of staff behind the counter they said they opened at 6AM. At 6:05 I asked if I was in the right place to order. They replied that I was in the correct line but that they weren't open yet. They were rude and aloof. I wouldn't mind waiting but my flight was about to start boarding. It was the rudeness that surprised me really. I did get my order in at 6:10 and I will say they were quick about it. Overall it was a disappointing experience.

    Burrito and tacos are 10.99 each. Kind if small but hit the spot. They opened at 06:15. You can watch them set up if you get there earlier. No coffee there.

    The service is 5 star. Food is 4 star. The prices, even for an Airport are a criminal 1 star. I got almost the exact same meal inside San Jose International the week before and it was half the cost.

    Overpriced airport food. Pretty good airport food, but you're better off eating before you get to the airport. The chips and salsa are discounted with a drink at the bar and the salsa is good. Queso is OK. The drinks are expensive as hell. One beer was $17.00. Kinda hard to recommend this place simply because of the price. Seeing as there's only a few alternatives I'd say its worth a shot, but if you can just hit a del taco before you get to the airport.

    Decent burritos. Two different types of tortillas (flour or wheat), rice (white or Spanish/, beans (black or pinto). I was going to give them 4 stars but they lost one star because their sign said soda, lemonade and ice tea we're $2.50 just you be told after I purchased a cup for ice tea that ice tea was only available from one of the other restaurants.

    (Cantina only. Never checked the taco bar.) For an LA airport, these are the prices I expect for alcohol. $20 for one drink after tax, before tip. So, I wouldn't call this place amazing, but the service I received was great and the paloma I ordered was very solid. I originally wanted a mojito, but they were out of mint. :(

    Enjoy Dinner here with my Daughter ,we ordered Burritos with shrimp very Large big burrito 🌯 also with cheese, Rice & beans,

  • 1/5 Alyssa K. 1 year ago on Google
    The tortillas were still cold and the carne asada was super dry. Not worth the airport prices. I’d try a different place next time.

  • 1/5 Kelli F. 1 year ago on Google
    The very worst dining experience I’ve ever had. The nacho cheese was worse than skating rink nacho cheese. The beans had no flavor. I will give a thumbs up to the pork that had ok flavor. Of course it’s way over priced but I expected some form of satisfaction.

    We received quick and friendly service. I ordered tacos that came with rice and beans. My daughter who has to eat gluten free ordered Nacho’s with no problem. The helpings are very generous! They have several items available and also drinks!! Would definitely eat here again!!

    Food was OK.... Bland... Service was good... I'll have to try something other then a burrito 🌯

  • 4/5 Finicky F. 5 months ago on Google
    Definitely the best option at this airport for speed and quantity. It was actually good food and they gave a surprisingly good amount of it. Most airport food is overpriced and scant. While this is pricey for a taco or burrito, it filled me up, so I was happy.
