Cinthya's - The view of her grill from the street. Unassuming right?! So good!

I am a Flight Attendant and discovered this place while on a layover near MEX Airport. There is…read morealways a line of people waiting to buy gorditas and quesadillas. I finally worked up the nerve to try. As an American this 'food stall' would be intimidating to most Americans, but since there is always a line I decided to try. Cinthya was very nice and made me the BEST gordita and quesadilla and explained everything to me (in Spanish). I have no idea what I was eating, but they were REALLY good! And only 75 pesos ($4) for 4 GIANT gorditas and quesadillas stuffed with meat, beans, and toppings. From the airport terminal, go down the small unmarked hallway next to the regional bus terminal and pharmacy (behind Krispy Kreme in the food court). Cross the sky bridge and down the stairs. Walk about 100ft from the bottom of the stairs and turn right at the corner. She is the second building.

The cook is a lovely friendly lady that makes her food with passion. She was delighted to discover…read morethat someone had put her on the internet map, as we wouldn't have found her otherwise. The place is a very small hole in the wall but the food is amazing. She sells gorditas with different types of meat or a mushroom mix that I personally ordered that was amazing and she makes quesadillas with the most amazing cheese. It's a small 5 minute walk from the airport, so if your in a time crunch and hungry between a layover don't hesitate to stop by here.

This restaurant is a hidden gem on the 3rd floor of Terminal 1. They have "rooftop" seating…read more(actually covered with a huge skylight) and balcony overlooking a portion of the terminal. Or you may dine inside at cozy tables with cloth napkins. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with colorful traditional Mexican art. I felt like I walked into a different world far away from the bustle of the airport. The extensive menu has everything from traditional Mexican delights (antojitos), tacos, to soups and salads, beef, chicken, seafood, and even delicacies like crickets or escamoles for the adventurous. I chose a tlalpeño soup and a the Chile relleno. They were delicious! They have a full bar for those who want it, but I chose one of their refreshing aguas frescas. They also offer soft drinks or bottled water and coffee. I was too full for a dessert, though they looked amazing. Prices run high for Mexican standards: between 200 to 500 pesos an entree. But considering the excellent table service, enchanting decor, the quality and presentation of the food it is worth it. I've paid more in the USA for far less. The servers are attentive and friendly, dressed with unique traditional Mexican accessories. When we asked one to take our picture, he offered us sombreros to wear for the picture. Sure, why not? The restrooms were clean as was everything I saw. I have been through this airport numerous times but never had seen them before. I will certainly return when I get the chance.

Kinda disappointed. Based on other reviews expected a really nice ambience and high quality food. I…read morewasn't very happy with the shrimp cakes, it tasted like old/dirty shrimp. Taste did not match price. Certainly there is an effort here to be special, but I think next time I'd just grab something from the food court at 1/3 the price and maybe better taste. Service was ... very.... attentive. More than I like. That kind of efforting-to-make-an-impression-but-actually-overcomplicating sort of vibe.
