Food tasted good. Lady working the bar poured a good vodka tonic for me at 9:30am!???? Small portions though. I figured for almost $9 my "Western wrap" would be at least a full size tortilla... it tasted delicious though. Big water, wrap, and a $3 tip was just under $20. Not bad for the airport. Staff was super nice! If eat here again for breakfast. The food is cooked fresh, right in front of you too! That is always reassuring. Give it a try! They've got visual examples of their most popular dishes on display right when you walk in, so I guess I should've known...

Excellent Cuban Sandwich! And after watching him freshly make all the sandwiches in front of me I’d guess they’re all great. That being said, they do make each order as it’s placed so if your flight boards in 10 minutes this definitely isn’t the place to head to! Price isn’t bad either, $11.45 for a decked out Cuban inside of an airport seems crazy compared to other places within the terminal. Also breakfast to lunch switch is at 10am and there were only a few minutes around then to continue breakfast orders.

Five stars (for an airport). Friendly staff, freshly prepared food and is great for breakfast! Omelets are tasty and it was not too long of a line to wait in before my 8:30a flight.
