Bottled water and iced tea at their cash and carry stand were $9.32? Prices should be posted if they are going to be outrageous.

I appreciated their patients for allowing me to bide my time for two hours. It's quite a nice place to hang and enjoy a bite and sip. The margaritas were rather nice and the tortilla chips with a trio of sauces were enough to tide me over. For a meagre $4.50 there was an Ancho Chile-Tomatillo Salsa, Tomato Arbol Salsa, and Salsa Verde to dip and nibble while I watched people come and go, and even on more than one occasion, Americans explaining to one another who the name-sake of the terminal, Hubert Humphrey was! Amusing and deeply sad at once. I would definitely recommend this stop at MSP airport.

So, here we are at MSP airport, waiting on our flight to board. We were pretty early and decided to get a bite and a drink at Cocina del Barrio. Airport bar, right? Well, let me tell you, I was impressed (and that’s not easy!). The service was really fast, as you would hope in the airport, but we were in no rush. My wife and I spit a Cuban sandwich and it was delicious. The selection of tequilas was impressive. I ordered a margarita made with Don Julio Blanco and it was so good I ordered a second! Price was as you’d expect in an airport, but didn’t even care. I’m willing to pay for good service and excellent product. The drinks alone were outstanding. Will hit this place every time we pass through.

The food and drinks were good!! Ambience was excellent...loved the place.. food was bit burnt and bitter.. ordered chicken tikka masala..fries were good but bit greasy..

Description of the sandwich sounded great. What I got was bland low quality chicken with half a piece of red pepper between two pieces of stale bread for $12. Airport food used to be pathetic and everyone expected that. There is no excuse for that anymore, especially at these prices. Too many other great options.

11 dollars mini sandwich and $4 for tiny bottle of water. Stay away. Other than one of the few places f terminal. No other reason to go here.

La Tapenade is a quick stop in the MSP airport (Terminal 1, concourse F). They serve Mediterranean-inspired food that's great for fast service or to-go meals. I had the prosciutto and brie sandwich and I brought it on the plane with me. I also got a slice of baklava for dessert. Although the sandwich tasted good, it probably was not great as a to-go meal because by the time I ate it an hour or two later, it was a bit soggy from the tomato. The baklava was tasty but not the best I've had before. In short, this is a typical airport food stop so don't get your hopes up.

Wow. It's hard to find this type of combination, that of poor quality food and high price. They feature what they call a flatbread pizza wjth impressive ingredients and attractive pictures. What you get is closer to what my sister used to make in a Pizza Hut Oven over a light bulb. At about $12 this is about $9 more than it's worth. To be fair though the Coke Zero Sugar tasted fine.

Flight was delayed and I was in need of something to eat while stuck in MINN... found this place and am SO happy i chose their food over other well known fast food. Great sandwich and baklava! Fast, hot, delicious airport food :)
In a desperate attempt to get an "ok" and warm airport meal I chose La Tapenade, attracted by their raw 1 portion pizza and their oven. Big mistake, After two bites I couldn't eat any longer, the flavor and qualify was unacceptable. Their employee's manners and food quality is something that should improve.

Awww, I actually used to like Tapanade but they've got the most vile pizza - even by my low standards. And I LOVE greasy, trashy pizza. This margherita flatbread was sopping wet with grease - nearly inedible. I had to toss it after a few bites. So sad! If I ever head back, I'll go for one of the wraps.

Needed something fast and near my gate (#7 for Delta Air). I stopped here to grab a water and a Parfait...basic stuff for a little under $10. This is a Greek food establishment a bit pricey but hey your in an airport. Food presentation was good and different from most fare service was fast and courteous. There is seating that is shared with Burger King.

I've been to this horrifying place a few times and Everytime I try to remind myself to never repeat the mistake, but I guess with speed of life and busy schedule, I did repeat this mistake a couple times. If you want to be treated poorly, get a scene of lack of customer service or even basic customer respect, stop there and try to ask a question! If you're as lucky as I was, you may get a chance to watch two workers standing there arguing/fighting for 2 minutes before one of them acknowledges your presence, You may also witness the pleasure of watching them use the same rubber glove to handle everything! Utensils, sandwiches, labels, packaging material, 6-7 orders in a row... As if that's better than using their hands. And finally, you may enjoy paying about $11 for a pita bread with some toppings, another 11 for a mozzarella sandwich, 5 for a smart water and 5 for naked juice. Your coffee maybe forgotten and you will get to watch the workers argue again who's fault it was. Then while you wait for the so called pizza, you'll get to see how they remove the sandwich labels that are pinned with a metal pin to the sandwich(dug deep into the sandwich) throw them in a bowl full of these pins, to sell the last sandwich, and when the new sandwiches come out of the kitchen, they dig their hands in that bowl, pull a label with the same used pin and stick it in another sandwich. I'm not sure why this place even exists! But if it has to, I hope the owners will see this review and do something about this horrible places.
