About this location
Inside Terminal 7's food court, this stand serves regional Mexican dishes and house-made salsas from 6 am to 10:30 pm, a window that opens earlier than Klatch Coffee across the aisle and closes later than most of the terminal's counters. It's the only Mexican kitchen in a food court otherwise built around coffee (Klatch) and American comfort food (Ashland Hill, BLD). LAX has no second Loteria Grill, so this Terminal 7 stand is the sole spot in the airport carrying that menu, useful for a full meal rather than a snack before boarding.
Other options in Terminal 7
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
