Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT)’s new terminal expansion will soon include the Fresno-based Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant. The longtime local favorite will operate a 2,000-square-foot mariachi- and folklórico-themed airport eatery set to open this fall through a licensing agreement with SSP America. The restaurant will feature the brand’s signature fare as well as a full-service bar, fresh-baked pastries, coffee service and grab-and-go items. Los Amigos has been a go-to for Fresno residents for over three decades, and was selected to join FAT’s concessions program through a partnership with the Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation (FAHF) to locate a new FAT concept that represents the city’s Mexican cuisine landscape.
“Fresno Yosemite International Airport is pleased that Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant will be serving their authentic menu items in an upbeat atmosphere that the community has come to enjoy for decades, and we look forward to sharing this Fresno favorite with travelers flying through our airport,” said FAT director of aviation Henry Thompson. “A local Mexican dining concept has been a common traveler request and being able to bring the Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant experience to FAT is timely with initiatives to offer new amenities inspired by our travelers.”
“It is with great honor that Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant brings the authentic taste of Mexico to FAT,” said Ricardo Flores Gaona, owner of Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant. “We are thrilled to share our vibrant flavors and culinary traditions with travelers from around the world, providing them with a memorable dining experience during their journey.”
