La Cocina Mexicana

May 2025 5*

Nice restaurant inside the airport terminal. Place is nice designed and atmosphere is good. There is plenty of space and place is not busy.

So I ordered Guacamole & Chips (have it all dressed). It was huge and lots of food. So don’t order if you are alone.

Also do try Mango Jarritos’ Mexican Soda. It is really good.

Nice calm service. Great food and friendly staff. Good prices and Great atmosphere as well. I highly recommend this place to eat. I had the chicken burrito. It was very big. I probably shouldn't have eaten it all but it was so delicious. Fresh ingredients. YUM!!

We ordered some Tacos, Margarita, and a quesadilla. Lauren was our server, and she took such good care of us! The chicken quesadilla she recommended was spectacular. And out of the tacos we ordered, we found Shrimp to be the best. We’re so glad we stopped by this restaurant! Fun mix of hospitable Nova Scotia and Mexican food!

Overall I really enjoyed my time here.

I ordered the lobster sliders (cause when in the Maritimes), and they were delicious. A bit on the expensive side, as you can expect at an airport, but the lobster amount was good.

I also ordered Churos and they were decent, though I like my chocolate dip a bit less sweet. Unfortunately they didn't have a Mexican coke.

The highlight however was the excellent and friendly service as well as the view from my spot on to the airfield!

Well, what can I say about this spot, it's amazing. It was the service from the bartender and more so ...actually one person the Manager Marie B. She made my experience amazing. You can't find service like that any longer, kudos to whomever hired this woman and made her Manager, she needs to be promoted. I had a terrible flight coming from Newfoundland due to the winds, turbulence was insane, she calmed me, showed me where to go for my connecting flight to the States. Made sure I made it through international and got my seat. Well, then my flight was cancelled. Stayed at the Hilton, when I came back to the airport, I couldn't believe it, Marie came in and checked on me to make sure I was all set and checked my flight. I was blown away, that is customer service extraordinare. Thank you Marie, next time I go to the Halifax airport, I will definitely come back and look for Marie.

Tara, our server, was the absolute best. Colleagues of mine recommended her and they were spot on. Our flight was delayed so we got to spend some time with her and she took great care of us. Made sure I could get a lunch option in the morning because of my food sensitivities and checked in with us. Wonderful personality! We enjoyed the drinks and the food and hope to be back and have Tara as our server for our next flight!

I had the loaded Guacamole and chips while waiting for my flight. Service was fantastic from start to finish. I believe Tara was my server. She gave me her phone charger to use while I was their, was super friendly and attentive with her tables.

Shocker! We are nacho snobs - we've never had nachos at a restaurant that we've enjoyed (because we make them so good at home)...till now! We ordered, expecting the same ole' same ole' bland, flavour less, platter - but shocker!!!!! They were fabulous! Got d portion for 2 to share, lots of flavour.... Going to need to travel more, just to come to the airport to have good nachos 🤣

Oh, and the Margarita was good, too!

Outstanding quality Mexican cuisine! Large variety of local and imported alcohol, great cocktails, more authentic version of Mexican food (such as burritos and tacos) and wonderful, prompt service! Definitely a great way to while away the hours waiting for your sun destination flight!
Only downside is that it’s past the security checkpoint, so you have to be going on a flight too dine here! 😂

Tara was our server this morning before our flight and she was absolutely amazing! Our flight was delayed but she made the time "fly" by! She was cheerful, amusing, and very kind. I would 100% come back just to have her as our server!

The most delicious food and great service.

Great little place!

Great burrito. Cute waitress.

Super resto pour un terminal d' aéroport. Les plats sont bons, le personnel est sympathique et la musique d' ambiance est agréable.
