Alright, granted this was airport food but this was still thoroughly mediocre. I originally intended on exiting the airport to hit Pizzeria Bianco, but alas I chickened out because I wasn't sure I had enough time. I settled for this after reading about the food options in this airport. Supposedly this is an outpost of a Phoenix restaurant that is famous for their tamales. I love tamales and don't get to have them often, so I decided to try it out.
The lady I buy tamales from next to the subway in the Bronx has better ones. This tamale was a soggy mess due to the sauce on top of them, and it was devoid of flavor (as were the rice and beans). The pricing also made no sense in hindsight. A tamale is only $4 and the soda and rice/beans brings it up to $10; however if you get a burrito ($6), it's the same deal for no more food. Basically this is a local place that is cashing in on people who are trapped in the airport.
Bring your food or just starve. It's better than this!
