Bezawit (sp?) was my main server and two different folks asked if I wanted refills. Brian and Hiyut. Great, cheerful attitudes from all. The food was yummy. I got the super healthy option of Cheese Curds. Best I've ever had (although, I am not from Wisconsin...). I ordered a salad to make me feel like I had some self-worth. And it was delicious. Above and beyond a typical side salad. The kitchen team was Michael, Keith and Darren. In summary, a great surprise highlight of my travel day. Highly recommend if you are in MSP.

It's rare to find an airport restaurant that feels like a real dining experience, but this place absolutely delivers. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient without making us feel rushed. The atmosphere was calm and inviting--a perfect escape from the hustle of the terminal. Whether you're grabbing a meal before your flight or have a long layover, this is easily one of the best airport dining experiences I've had. Great food, excellent service, and well worth the stop. I'll definitely be back next time I'm flying through MSP!

The server, Molly, was friendly and funny, making the customers at the bar roar with laughter with her NSFW humor. I don't know if it was because I was starving, but the burger was delicious, perfectly seasoned with salt and other spices. The egg was runny and the yolk coated every single bite. I wanted to try a local beer, but they did have the mango lager I was hoping to try, so the Blue Moon on draft hit perfectly with my meal. The whole tab was expensive AF, but with the voucher, it came to a more reasonable amount. I would eat here and eat this burger again.

Truly, the highlight of our visit was the service, which felt welcoming amid hectic travel. Our server was personable and attentive. We ordered, ate, and boarded our plane in under an hour. While I'm unsure if it's the same speed each time, the swift service during our visit was much appreciated. The restaurant was relatively clean & there were plenty of seating options for both large + small parties to sit and grab a bite. Full transparency, I can't say the food (quality, flavor, presentation & value) drove me crazy -- it was an okay meal. - Kids Grilled Cheese & fries (2/5) Eh... It's a grilled cheese. The sandwich itself was okay. The fries weren't anything to write home about, other than to mention they were severely under-seasoned and not fresh, hand-cut fries. - Kids tacos (2) with rice and beans (2/5). This dish needs a little love, especially in its presentation. Although it's a kids' meal, it would've been great to have the option to add fresh veggies (pico, guac, or salsa) or substitute the flour tortilla for corn ones. Visually, it wasn't too appealing, and I can't say that the flavor outdid the presentation. - Chicken Tinga Enchiladas (2/5) I'm a big enchilada and chicken tinga fan, but this dish also needs help. The beans (which are not the traditional bean type used in this cuisine) were bland and severely underseasoned. The rice also lacked flavor. The bland, chicken tinga inside the enchiladas leaned more toward a buffalo flavor than a traditional tinga cooked in guajillo sauce. The dish had no spice level at all. The presentation felt a little flat and thrown together. It appeared the cheese on top of the enchiladas was melted on a salamander rather than baked with the rest of the enchiladas, as this dish is traditionally prepared. The tortilla itself was difficult to cut, and everything fell apart once you got a good portion. - Carne Asada Burrito (3/5) This was probably the best of all dishes, both in value and presentation. The burrito was filling, the beef well-seasoned, and it wasn't falling apart when eating. It was good, but not over-the-top fantastic. If they revised their presentations, recipes, made some tweaks to better reflect what they perceive as a fair value for their dishes, I do believe Zona Cocina could have potential as a strong eatery in this neck of the airport. As it is now, I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't likely return.

The seating and ordering process is confusing unless you've been here before which is why this gets 4/5 stars; it's all "scan the barcode and pay ahead." Food is delivered right to you along with any beverage selections. The morning staff are on shift EARLY (4:30 am) and could have easily let their attitudes slip, but they were wonderful and attentive on June 1st, 2023. For the airport, this area was not too loud or too quiet. The lighting was great for reading if you were to be eating solo! My partner and I enjoyed the breakfast food very much - clean plate club - and it held us over for an entire 8 hour, long travel day.

I went to this restaurant because it was right next to the gate for my flight and because I had…read moreeaten there previously and the food was pretty good. However, the experience I had was horrible, To order, you have to use the QR code on the table. Fine. I do that a lot at various restaurants. The total, including tax and tip, was sent to my credit card company instantaneously. However, what I ordered was no longer available. The server came over to inform me of that and so I ordered something else. But instead of cancelling my previous order, he added the new item which upped the overall total (including the higher tax and tip based on two main dishes) and then at the bottom of the bill cancelled the main course. So even though he cancelled the unavailable item, he was keeping a tip based on not only the unavailable item but also the newly ordered replacement dish. When I complained, I was told there was no way to correct this. So then I asked for the manager. The manager was clearly not happy to be asked to correct this and also said she had no way to correct it. She could only cancel the tip in its entirety. I asked her to do so and said I would tip the server by cash. Which I did. I left $8 cash which was a 25% tip because I wanted to make clear I wasn't trying to get out of appropriately tipping a server. But, the amounts refunded still showed an $11.25 tip on what was now a less expensive main course of $24.99 plus $4.49 iced tea or a nearly 40% tip in addition to the $8 I left in cash. The business should have cancelled my order in its entirety and started over. It was not my fault they were out of what I ordered and no one told me until after the order had been processed. A full refund and then starting over would have been the easiest and right thing to do. I've disputed the excessive charged on my credit card but I would never, ever eat at this restaurant again - even if it was the only one open in the entire airport.
