San José Mineta International Airport Welcomes Mi Casa Cantina to Terminal A

Full-service Mexican Cantina designed for travelers, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere

San José, Calif. - Passengers at San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) have a flavorful new dining option: Mi Casa Cantina, now open across from the Terminal A security checkpoint. The restaurant joins SJC's diverse lineup of eateries, becoming the fourth new opening this year alongside Einstein Bros.® Bagels, Firehouse Subs and Pizza My Heart - with more to come.

An SSP America original concept, Mi Casa Cantina offers travelers a colorful, laid-back atmosphere with scratch-made dishes and a full-service bar. The menu spans breakfast through dinner, featuring favorites like the Hatch Green Chile Burger, Street Tacos and signature drinks including the Prickly Pear Margarita and creative mocktails like PassioNAte Punch and NOT Your Average Paloma. The SJC location marks the sixth Mi Casa Cantina in North America.

"Mi Casa Cantina couldn't have come to SJC at a better time," said San José Mayor Matt Mahan. "With half a million fans set to descend on the Bay Area for the Super Bowl, NCAA Men's Basketball and World Cup in 2026, now is the time to enhance SJC's offerings and overall customer experience."

"San José Mineta International Airport continues to live up to its accolade as the Best Midsize Airport in the U.S., raising the bar with new dining and retail openings," said San José City Manager Jennifer Maguire. "Mi Casa Cantina is a perfect addition to SJC's diverse array of dining options for travelers."

"We are thrilled to welcome Mi Casa Cantina to Terminal A," said SJC Director of Aviation Mookie Patel. "SJC will be many visitors' first impression of the Bay Area when they arrive for the major sporting events coming in 2026. We are proud to deliver a high-quality dining experience to our passengers; Mi Casa is a perfect complement to SJC's variety of new culinary options."

"Opening a Mi Casa Cantina at San José Mineta International Airport allows us to fill a need in the airport space, bringing passengers an authentic culinary experience unlike any other at SJC."
