Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) is now home to a new Mexican restaurant. Located in Concourse B, Mi Vida Cantina and Taqueria offers travelers all-day Mexican cuisine such as hand-crushed guacamole, tortilla soup, grilled salmon mestiza, taco and enchilada plates, and signature cocktails such as margaritas, piñadas and ponche de lola in an open-air setting.
“Mi Vida brings a true sense of place to Reagan National, giving travelers an opportunity to experience a beloved Washington-area Knead Hospitality brand right here at the airport,” said Jaimini Erskine, vice president for marketing and concessions at Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA). “Partnerships such as these allow us to connect travelers with authentic local flavors while supporting businesses that contribute to the vibrancy of our region.”
“We have worked with MWAA, Jackmont Hospitality, and KNEAD Hospitality + Design to bring Chef Santibañez‘s well-known Mexican restaurant to Reagan National,” said Dominic Troilo, vice president of Fraport Washington Partnership LLC, which manages DCA’s concessions program. “The outcome is a modern dining option which provides vibrant flavors and extra convenience for travelers who want a taste of sunny Mexico while on the move.”
“We are incredibly grateful to KNEAD Hospitality + Design and Chef Roberto Santibañez for trusting Jackmont to bring the Mi Vida brand to life at Reagan National, and to MWAA, Fraport Washington and our ACDBE partner, Trans Air, for their partnership in making this opening possible,” said Simon Lorady, vice president of usiness development and brands for Jackmont Hospitality, which will operate the location. “Jackmont has long been committed to bringing authentic, local and chef-driven dining experiences into airports while preserving the quality, identity and integrity that make those brands special. Mi Vida at DCA is a great example of what we believe is the next generation of airport dining — bringing a celebrated local restaurant into the airport in a way that feels authentic to the brand, relevant to the community and memorable for the traveler.”
