I was at the Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) looking for a good meal. After walking the…read moreterminal and assessing the situation, we settled on a diner-like establishment called Wings. Now, here's the thing. Scattered throughout MEX you'll find multiple locations of Wings in both terminals. This review is for the one in Terminal One on the end.
Contrary to what people may assume by only relying on the name, this is not a chicken "Wings" joint. Now, they do serve wings as like a novelty, but the name "Wings" is a nod to the golden age of aviation. You can see this through the many vintage photos of classic planes and airline pilots adorning the walls, hence Wings. One thing about the environment too that is worthy of mention is they play pop music videos, so it's a very mainstream atmosphere.
Before walking in, you can see the extensive menu posted. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as different types of fare from Enchiladas to Burgers. Pretty much anything within a Mexican / American mainstream food is what's being served.
The food was delicious! Okay, I got an iced hot chocolate and an order of Huevos Rancheros with the sauce on the side. Let me tell ya- the flavors were terrific, and everything tasted really fresh. My beans were stellar. The corn tortillas were straight up singing with a clean corn flavor and the sauce, which was pretty close to perfection; was a bit spicy- I'm glad I got it on the side so I could control the heat.
The service was excellent as well. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Also, when our food was brought out, three people were table side to get all our food set up for us. Lots of camaraderie here and they work well as a team.
While this was on the more pricier range for food in Mexico, please remember it's in the airport where resources are stretched thin, and the final total was about what you would expect to pay in the states. It was a great meal overall, and I'd definitely be back next time we're at MEX.
