I used to just make a quick stop at a "Pick-a-Pollo" before arriving at the airport, but with all these crazy security restrictions, I'm curious to know what tasty options I have at SDQ.

I know there's just one restaurant at SDQ, but I would appreciate any recommendations on what to order (and what not to order)?

Their fries taste good, what else?

Thanks,
Helpmann :)

There is a cafeteria and a pizza place downstairs. Both are OK for airport food. The pizza place isn't half bad.

Other Food

Also a Burger King upstairs and a typical DR cafeteria style joint. New terminal has one little place and a food court is being built. Entering the airport on the other side of the highway is a gas station with a fried chicken place inside in case you gotta have your chicken before you fly. This is not what is referred to as 'chickening out' before flying I presume. Some people need 2,3 or phobeas b4 flying.

The pizza place is, of course, Pizzarelli. There are many entries on this establishment. My vote is that it is the finest pizza on the island and better than most in the US (ex- Boston North End, NYC pizza eater ex-pat)

There is a restaurant in the upper food court that serves a Cuban-based menu. I don't remember the name but the food in their MIA airport establishment is a little better and has a more extensive menu.

I had the pizza once at that airport one time that I was waiting for my luggage to arrive from another flight. I thought it was pizza hut. Maybe I am confused.
