HMSHost opens four new concepts at San Antonio International Airport

USA. HMSHost has opened four new concepts at San Antonio International Airport, including one in a joint venture with chef Johnny Hernandez, well-known in the city for his Mexican street food.

Located in Terminal A, La Gloria has a menu packed with authentic Mexican dishes, including taco al pastor, tlayudas, and cocteles de mariscos, among others.

“Johnny Hernandez’s La Gloria is a highlight of the San Antonio culinary scene, and we know visiting travellers at San Antonio International Airport will also revel in this local favourite,” said HMSHost Vice President of Business Development Anthony Alessi.

“La Gloria and the other restaurants HMSHost has recently opened at the airport will welcome travellers with a wide variety of exciting dining experiences from which to choose.”

Another new concept to the airport, Mission City Icehouse, also features a menu created by Hernandez, celebrating the history of San Antonio, with a bar featuring local brews and spirits, and grab-and-go sandwiches and salads.

In addition to these two concepts, HMSHost has also opened its own La Tapenade Mediterranean Café, which offers customers hearty, healthy meals. Travellers can smell the freshly baked bread, while selecting from salads, sandwiches and pizzas, topped with ingredients including fire-roasted vegetables, speciality meats and assorted cheeses.

Meanwhile, an Auntie Anne’s/Cinnabon, operated by subtenant Novel Idea, has also opened for passengers seeking a fresh pretzel or sweet treat.
