| - Terminal 3 is undergoing some growing pains. As a result, there's very very few eating options after 9PM. There's few before that, too. We had a late-night flight, and having missed dinner, bellied up to a table at Taberna del Tequileria. I'd had tacos from their express station before, and wasn't scared of the low ratings.
The biggest issue with this restaurant is its service. There's no hostess to seat you. You'll either awkwardly stand there, waiting for a greeting (and never get one), or roll the dice on seating yourself and never getting served. We lucked out, choosing a well-visible table, and our server came over within 5 minutes-- not ideal, but not bad. Another table near us, which had obviously been there for some time before we sat down, wasn't greeted by their server until *our* server notified the other that she had a table, some 5 minutes after we'd already had our order taken.
Menu is very, very limited-- a big disappointment to my husband, who doesn't particularly crave Mexican food. Think tacos, burritos, quesadillas. I ordered 3 carnitas (pork) tacos "Mexican style" (cotija cheese, pico de gallo and pickled onions). My husband went with a burrito. There was no "plain" bean and cheese burrito on the menu, but he asked the waitress-- who seemed a bit confused-- nevertheless, he ended up getting what he asked for.
Prices are up there, for Mexican food. A combo plate (with limited offerings and unclear side dishes) will cost you $15. They don't list prices for drinks, a sure sign of dollar-bill hemorrhaging. Chips and salsa aren't gratis at the beginning of the meal, standard for any "good" Mexican restaurant.
The tacos were "ok": carnitas were good, so were the toppings, but the corn tortillas were soggy and falling apart. Rice and beans (apparently) were included as a side, but were terrible-- especially the rice, which was basically parboiled Minute rice. Jamie's bean burrito came with chips and salsa on the side (also not on the menu), and he was quite pleased with his simple meal. Waters were had because, although I wanted a margarita, the prospect of spending $15 on a bottled sweet-n-sour crappy marg turned me off.
It was a "bite to eat", not an experience, and if there was any competition in Terminal 3, Taberna would either have to revamp it's approach, or suffer the consequences. For now, they're safe in the lack of competition.
