I was hungry for a breakfast tamale, so saw this on their menu. I went with the pork version with fried eggs on top. Also, chose the chile verde sauce. Overall, it was just food. I have spent many years in the Latin communities and this food is no comparison. I gave the 2-stars since it is airport food and harder to have more options. No reaction or upset stomach after eating, so that was a plus. I personally won’t eat here again and save my Hispanic cravings for more established restaurants.

Got the 2 tamales, one chicken, one pork. Chicken was tasty but could barely tell if there was actual chicken in it. Pork I didn't care for, but it definitely had pork. Overall, with the toppings (green chili sauce, cheese, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo) was a decent value ($12).

Decent option before flying home. We got nachos and salad and sat right at a bar in front of the order line to charge my phone while we waited. We watched for over 20 mins as the young man took orders, explained the menu and interacted with the customers. He was funny, friendly and full of patience. If I could give him 6 stars I would have. Kudos kid. Back to food… cheese on the nachos was a little spicy for me. But it was all fresh and the guacamole was green not brown. They have the deep fried flour bowls which I always like. We saw this first when we came up the escalator, circled thru all of Terminal C and came back. Glad we did.

Ordered the chicken salad bowl — the chicken looked like canned tuna and didn’t taste like chicken. I also got the spicy salsa and chips, but the salsa was watered down. Everything tasted bland.
