PASO, TX. El Paso International Airport (ELP) and
HMSHost Corporation, a world leader in travel
dining and shopping, announced the official grand
opening of an El Paso culinary legend, Carlos &
Mickey's restaurant in the Main Terminal.
Travelers may also enjoy Starbucks Coffee, one of
the most popular national brands in the country and
a leading retailer and roaster of specialty coffee,
also located in the Main Terminal. From Tampiquena
Steak to Flaco's Enchiladas, Sombrero Salad to
Rosa's Flautas, Carlos & Mickey's full-service
breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar menu boasts over
30 items, guaranteeing something for everyone's
taste. Carlos & Mickey's also offers
travelers covered patio seating which is
highlighted by a water fountain and extends onto an
outdoor courtyard. Patrick T. Abeln,
Director of Aviation said, "We believe travelers
will be well-served by our new food and beverage
concessions program developed by HMSHost to
represent a true taste of El Paso and provide
national brands such as Starbucks coffee.
Carlos & Mickey's represents one of many
locally known restaurants and bars, which also are
part of the terminal expansion." Starbucks offers
passengers fast and convenient access to their
favorite beverages -- including espresso-based
drinks, brewed coffees, and Frappuccinos® -- in
addition to a variety of fresh pastries,
sandwiches, and salads. "El Paso travelers
are very excited about these new dining
