Gate-side snack stop by security in Terminal 1
Right after security in Terminal 1, Snack Bar is the quick option when you realize you’re boarding in 20 minutes and still haven’t eaten. It’s a simple counter setup with a few seats, more grab-and-go than sit-down restaurant, and you can keep an eye on the departure screens while you order.
Food leans basic: sandwiches, packaged snacks, and a few hot items like simple breakfast plates in the morning (eggs, beans, and tortillas are common across Tegucigalpa) plus burgers or chicken later in the day. Expect airport pricing: think in the range of 100–250 HNL for most items, more if you start adding extras or drinks. It’s the kind of place where you point at what you want and move along.
Drinks cover the basics: bottled water, soft drinks, and usually a couple of local options like salva vidas or other Honduran sodas in the cooler. Coffee is standard machine-brewed filter coffee, served in paper cups, and pairs fine with the packaged pastries you’ll see lined up at the counter. If you want something stronger than soda, check what’s in the fridge; selection shifts with deliveries.
Service is fast by design, since most people show up with boarding starting in under 30 minutes. Staff flip between Spanish and basic English, so ordering in either usually works, but cash in Honduran lempiras makes the transaction smoother than relying on a card terminal that may or may not be cooperating.
Tip: if your flight departs around the early-morning bank (roughly 05:30–08:00), grab something here right after security; lines spike closer to boarding and options deeper into Terminal 1 thin out quickly.
