I ate at Pappacito&#8217;s which actually had pretty good Tex-Mex.  Who would have thought you&#8217;d find good food at the airport? Well, actually&#8230; <a href=\"<a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=7470\"  title=\"Ku-Va\">&#8221; title=&#8221;Ku-Va&#8221;>After my experience with Ku-Va in Miami<\/a>, I had pretty high hopes.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/6925477018\/\"  title=\"2012-04-12 14.15.19.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5455\/6925477018_d52b6894dd.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-04-12 14.15.19.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/7071578867\/\"  title=\"2012-04-12 14.23.59.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7214\/7071578867_954b0b002d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2012-04-12 14.23.59.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d say this would have to be <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=7470\"  title=\"Ku-Va\">the second best airport food I&#8217;d ever eaten because it wasn&#8217;t as good as Ku-Va<\/a>, but it was pretty darn good.  Pappacito&#8217;s tortilla chips remind me of those served at Abuelo&#8217;s. I liked the flavor of their salsa, which wasn&#8217;t too spicy. The cheese dip with beef was also pretty good.  I had a couple of crispy tacos: one beef and one chicken. They were both good, but the chicken was very, very good.  I&#8217;m not sure what they did with it, but it had great flavor.  I got lucky that the restaurant was right next to my gate.  Next time I&#8217;m in Texas, I&#8217;m definitely going to look for a Pappacito&#8217;s to enjoy some more of that yummy Tex-Mex!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cousin Tracy and Jeff took me to Mi Cocina at Sundance Square (just down the street from my hotel on Tuesday night).
