Tacos and tequila sit just past Gate E33 in T2
Casa de Tres Reyes sits post-security in Terminal 2 by Gate E33, so it mainly serves Southwest flyers. It’s a local Mexican spot, not a generic chain, with table service plus a bar. Prices run in the midrange for an airport: expect tacos or enchiladas around $12–$18 and cocktails in the $10–$14 zone. If your flight leaves from an E-gate, it’s an easy 5-minute walk from most of the terminal.
The menu leans into familiar Mexican standards, and the move here is the tacos. Use them as your benchmark: order a plate with mixed fillings, then add chips and salsa if you’re actually hungry and not just killing time. Being a sit-down restaurant in T2, plan on 30–45 minutes for a full meal, especially during the afternoon bank of Southwest departures. It’s all post-security only, so you can’t use it as a pre-checkpoint meetup spot.
Drinks are a big part of the pitch here. Expect margaritas built around tequila and lime rather than sugary neon mixes, plus basic beer options for those just grabbing a quick drink before a gate change. With the $$ pricing, two tacos and one drink will usually land in the $25–$30 range after tax and tip. There’s bar seating if you’re solo and need to keep one eye on the departure boards near E33.
Watch your clock in Terminal 2: Southwest boarding typically starts about 30 minutes before departure, and service at Casa de Tres Reyes can slow when two or three flights bank together. Ask your server at the start if you’re inside a 45-minute window. Tip: if you’re tight on time, grab tacos and a soft drink at the bar instead of taking a table; you’ll usually be in and out in under 25 minutes.
