From a food truck finding a permanent home to local food options coming to the Corpus Christi International Airport, here’s what we’ve got our eyes on in the Coastal Bend food and drink scene this month.
Several Local Restaurants to Open inside Corpus Christi International Airport
In late September, Corpus Christi City Council approved a lease agreement allowing local businesses to set up shop inside the Corpus Christi International Airport (CCIA). Local food and beverage options such as Island Joes Coffee and Gallery, Salty Oak BBQ and Nueces Brewing and Barbecueing will bring a much-needed revamp to the current cuisine options on site. The new eateries will be located throughout the airport in areas both before and after TSA. While there isn’t a specific opening date announced for each business, they are expected to be added to the airport one at a time over the next couple of years.
Most Comida Food Truck Plans for Brick-and-Mortar Location
The popular food truck recently announced its plans to move into a more permanent location in a video posted to Facebook. Well-known for its Most Burger and Rick Rolls, Most Comida will be located inside a new sports bar on the Southside called Riley’s Pub. Come November, the local business will primarily serve its food from Riley’s but will still actively pop up with the food truck at local festivals and events, as well as continue offering special catering services.
