Syracuse, New York – The Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA), Gideon Toal Management Services (GTMS), and Qdoba Mexican Eats celebrated the Grand Opening of the new Qdoba Mexican Eats location at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) this morning. The fast casual restaurant serving Mexican-style cuisine conducted a soft opening last month and is located in the post-security checkpoint hallway leading to Concourse A gates. Attendees enjoyed samples and heard speeches from SRAA leadership, GTMS leadership, and a representative from the Qdoba Mexican Eats brand. The event concluded with a ceremonial ribbon cutting to mark the occasion.

The popular restaurant chain has locations across the United States and Canada. The SYR location operates daily from 4:15 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (or the last flight of the day), ensuring all departing passengers have the opportunity to be served.

“Today’s grand opening represents an exciting expansion of dining options for SYR travelers,” said SRAA Chief Commercial Officer Jason Mehl. “We are grateful to our partners at Gideon Toal Management Services and Qdoba Mexican Eats for their commitment to enhancing the passenger experience and investing in the success of SYR. As our airport continues to grow, partnerships like these play a key role in elevating SYR to a best-in-class destination.”
