Does this place deserve 5 stars? I’m not sure, but it was definitely better than the 1.4 stars it has. Is the food overpriced. Yeah sure. Did it take 25 mins to come out… yeah sure. Does it have one of the worst views of a restaurant I’ve seen, yeah sure. But the food was actually pretty good, and we needed to waste a couple hours before our flight. I would actually eat here again. It’s an airport restaurant…. And it did what it was supposed to do.
Worst airport restaurant I’ve ever been to. 1. Drink machine out of order 2. Dirty, receipts all over the floor, lids off all the hot sauce, hot sauce dumped all over the tables. 3. No urgency from any worker at all. 4. My wife goes to hold a seat in the Mi Casa bar area and never once was approached by a server. But once I brought the food over that we paid $50 for (a single burrito and bowl) the manager comes over immediately and tells us we can’t sit there. “If you order to go you must go.” I
Mi SCAM This place is a total scam. Two burritos for $45 and they were filled with 90% rice. The barbacoa had a singular bite of meat and the veggie burrito had barely any beans or peppers. DO NOT GO HERE! Normally food this bad I would bring back to the counter to return for a refund but I had a flight to catch.
