Phoenix among highest rated airport dining spots

Apr 2, 2013, 11:26 AM

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has been ranked tenth among the best available restaurants at the 20 busiest airports in the U.S.

According to CNN, Sunnyslope’s El Bravo eatery and its illustrious green chile tamales makes the Phoenix airport one of the premiere locations for famished consumers. The restaurants were rated by passenger traffic from Federal Aviation Administration stats.

“People will try one for lunch and like them so much they’ll buy a dozen frozen ones to take home,” says Monique Othon, whose grandmother created the original recipe.

The top three airports with the highest-rated dining quality are Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Chicago O’Hare International and Denver International.
