Cúcara Mácara

Airport food — even as a standalone restaurant, it was just A-​OK. We split a cemita, after having had one before we knew how large they are. The bread was more like bland white bread than brioche-​type. Service was — eh — ok. It was all just okay. I’d recommend the tacos at the food court instead. those smelled delicious.

I’ve had better.

It is probably better for dinner. I went there around 11am. I did not like that they gave me the menu for dinner and to other local people they gave them the menu for breakfast. In any case, the food was just ok. I ordered tacos and they are probably more tasty outside the MacDonalds area. I ordered a side of «Rajas con crema» and it was awful. They cooked the peppers on-​the-​fly so the poblano pepper was churchy and even the onions not cooked. They should have told me that they did not have them already prepared and I wouldn’t have ordered this side.
The only thing good was the natural juice. Again, it was very pricey for what it was. You can eat for ¹⁄₃ of the price a more quality food at the food stands by international arrivals. Which is pretty sad because the restaurant is pretty cozy but noisy.
Maybe dinner is better but I won’t find out because I may not return to this place.

Very nice place inside Terminal 1, close to Hilton Hotel. Typical Mexican food, plus nice beef cuts and fish. The interior is styled like a Mexican cantina, but as the restaurant’s veranda is open to the terminal, it is a bit noisy.
Service is quite attentive and offers great hospitality.
Steaks were just perfect, the Guacamole delicious and the choice of desserts very generous, and tempting! A bit on the expensive side.

La opción perfecta para deleitar el paladar mientras esperas un vuelo es Cúcara Mácara. Dentro del área de comidas de la Terminal 1 en el Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez, este local es por mucho lo mejor en gastronomía que hallarás dentro de todas las opciones fast food que ofrece el aeropuerto. Si tienes poco tiempo para abordar, pasa a echarte antojitos 100% mexicanos: tacos, quesadillas, sopes, pambazos, y hasta pozole. Si andas temprano y es muy pesado puedes gozar tranquilamente de un atolito y tamal en torta. Sobra decir que los guisados es su punto a favor, pues tienen ese sabor casero que difícilmente logran las cadenas comerciales de alimentos; picadillo, chicharrón en salsa verde y roja, papas con chorizo, hongos, flor de calabaza, tinga, son algunos de los guisos, las tostadas de pata son excelentes y para tomar unas aguas de horchata, jamaica y tamarindo, o un aromático café de olla. El gran acierto del lugar es que aparte de delicioso es muy barato, con 60 pesos estás a reventar de antojitos. ¿Lo malo?, el servicio es un poco distraído y lento, por eso recomiendo pedir directo a las cocineras pues el comal está a la vista del comensal y puedes charlar con ellas, mientras te preparan tus tortillitas a mano.
