LaTrelle's Tex-Mex Kitchen garners consistent praise for its flavorful and tender steak dishes, notably steak fajitas, tacos, and nachos, which many customers find impressively satisfying given its airport location. Reviewers frequently mention generous portion sizes and well-prepared sides such as rice and beans. Customers appreciate the option to customize spice levels, enhancing the dining experience. The quality and warmth of the food stand out, especially for travelers seeking a quick yet fulfilling meal. Friendly and accommodating service, even during early hours, contributes positively to the overall experience. While primarily noted for its airport outlet, there is notable interest in seeing the brand expand to additional locations for wider accessibility.

Surprisingly good!! the steak was delicious and very tender. Did not disappoint when I didn’t expect much. Margarita was good as well. Didn’t take a photo because I really didn’t expect to be memorable steak Fajitas came with side of rice, black beans and a portion of lettuce and tomato plus tortillas.

Best airport food I’ve ever had and I travel a lot. Steak was cooked to medium doneness and super tender. We got tacos and a bowl (both steak) and thought it was outstanding. Carri beans and rice were great too. A good portion size.

I am new to this place! I liked it so much I wanted to see if there were more locations. I had the ground beef taco bowl and it was awesome! All the flavor with the option of heat or no heat by adding sauce/salsa. I chose no heat! It was so good and hot in temperature that I was a happy customer! I had to board my flight and finished while everyone else boarded. I would get that next time I am there. It was yummy! My friend had the chicken taco bowl and she liked hers too. Good choice as I heard the nearby Asian option was awful and although it smelled good...I watched the lady scrape it into the trash. When asked her opinion she said try something else. Wendy’s was closed. Pizza or Tex Mex! Tex Mex it was and it DID NOT at all remind me of Taco Bell! Didn’t compare! TRY IT!!

Bloody Marys at the airport are a tradition with me, and this one was at the top of my list. The taste was shockingingly , noticeably better than so many ive had in the past. The taco bowl made me happy. Simple quality ingredients.combined successfully As far as atmosphere goes, its in an airport. But they make the most of it . Its not cheap.
