Customer Reviews
I saw a ton of bad reviews so I was hesitant to eat here but I wanted to sit down for a while my flight was delayed three times. I'm glad I did. Dimitry was my server and he was excellent very kind and very fast. We were seated within 45 minutes we had 20 people in front of us when we signed up on the waitlist. So it goes faster than you expect. The food was what you expect for a chain and for an inside the restaurant situation. The black beans and the rice were kind of plain but they came out hot and with little salt and pepper they came to life. Chips within and fresh though they lack salt. My salsa had visible red pepper flakes with a little bit of heat in the queso had jalapenos onions and peppers in it and was decent. It's not authentic by no means but it got the job done. My husb
For the money, it's actually pretty good food. Servers are kind and meals arrive pretty quick. The atmosphere is the best part of the experience as the space is open with high ceilings and lots of natural light. I'd definitely come back. We had breakfasts burritos with potatoes - hot and fresh. As a nice plus, the table already has sauces ready to use.
We hadn’t planned to stop here, but after arriving early to the airport, we decided to give it a try—and I’m glad we did. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, the menu selection, and the prices. Our server, Rebecca, was informative, friendly, and genuinely delightful. She gave us great insights into their tequilas and even shared a helpful insider tip: always add a “meltdown” to your margarita. It’s only $4 as an add-on, compared to $11 if you order the shot on its own. Great advice! I ordered the OTB House Margarita with a shot of reposado, and it was absolutely perfect. We had planned to get an appetizer, but the complimentary chips and salsa were more than enough. Overall, this was a great unexpected stop. I’d definitely come back here again if I find myself stuck at the O
Lots of negative reviews that likely are from folks coming around a rush for lunch or dinner. I came in around 1:30 and had a minimal wait to get seated as a lone traveler. Prices are expectedly high since this is in an airport, and I did get complimentary chips and salsa that were pretty good. I got two tacos for about $20 which comes with rice and beans. Flavor of the sides is fine, not anything special but solidly decent especially paired with the extra salsa. Brisket taco was good, a little salty for what I normally like but that was probably the fried onions. The jalapeno bbq (or whatever is normally on it) was surprisingly sweet, but I didn't mind. The Southwest chicken taco was nice in flavor, though kind of dry. I probably would have paid the upcharge for sour cream if I had known,
Food was ok service was slow. On the plus side portion sizes were incredible! A rare find if youre trying to make it through the whole day on one airport meal.
