I thought the food at that airport would be bad. But it's excellent, with a Tabasco flavor, very well cooked, and in just the right portions. Congratulations! The enfrijoladas, the breaded steak, and the chicken broth are top-notch.

Very delicious breakfast. I recommend the Tabasco breakfast! Platanitos, tamale, eggs with ham, beans, fruit and coffee. Very friendly and helpful service.

If you arrived much early for your flight, I recommend eating something. Incredibly one of the best restaurants in airports: good flavor, fast and friendly service. Price It has several tables with views of the airport corridors.

Delicious food, don't miss the banana molotitos, the leg cake and a beer and to top it off a coffee. Ask for Darvin, he will take great care of you...
