Chiquis Coffee Cart

Authentic Mexican Goodies

B Open · 4:00 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. Daily

Gate-side caffeine window in Terminal B

Opens at 4:00 a.m., closes again by 7:30 a.m., so Chiquis Coffee Cart in Terminal B is really for the first few departures. It’s a small stand, not a sit-down café, focused on coffee and Mexican-style sweet bites rather than full meals. If your boarding time is after 7:30 a.m., you’ll miss it and need to plan on another spot in B.

Figure on grab-and-go: hot coffee, likely under $5, plus “authentic Mexican goodies” like pan dulce or similar pastries that travel well to the gate. This cart sits post-security in Terminal B, so you can swing by after TSA without backtracking. It works best for anyone on those 5:00–7:00 a.m. flights who just needs caffeine and something quick to eat in hand at boarding.

There’s no late-morning or evening option here, just that tight 3.5-hour window each day, so don’t build a plan around a mid-day snack run to Chiquis. Expect limited seating nearby; think standing at the high-top or heading straight to your gate in B with your coffee. If you land from an early arrival into A, count at least 10–15 minutes to walk over to B and catch them before they close.

Tip: If your flight leaves before 6:30 a.m., hit Chiquis first, then fill your water bottle and use the restroom so you’re not stuck in a boarding line without caffeine.
