“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,” said Simon Lorady, vice president, business development and brands, Jackmont Hospitality.

The venue provides signature cocktails and convenient take-out options. Breakfast starts with egg and cheese tacos, Burrito Tejano, or steak and eggs, available until 10 a.m. For main courses, guests can choose between burritos, grilled salmon Mestiza and the Guajillo smashburger. Popular sides include plantains, sweet potato fries and Ana’s white rice with refried black beans, with starters of tortilla soup, alitas and Tatanachos.

Chips, salsa and hand-crushed guacamole dishes come with house-made tortilla chips, all pairing well with signature cocktails such as margaritas, piñada and the Ponche de Lola.

“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, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. “Partnerships such as these allow us to connect travelers with authentic local flavors while supporting businesses that contribute to the vibrancy of our region.”
