Mexican restaurant, Airport ★2.0 (86)·$20–30

Terminal 5, John F Kennedy International Airport, Queens, NY 11445, USA

2.0
A pathetic excuse for a dining experience. Firstly, we ordered using their QR code system which was pretty slick actually. The food came in plastic boxes with plastic utensils. The shrimp tacos in corn tortillas fell apart before you could pick them up because they were soggy. Same for the pulled pork. The burrito was ordered with guacamole and avocado as an additional side. No avocado added so basically paid for nothing. Total bill for this road side meal $108.00Find somewhere else to eat. - Tyler Durden
