One of the highlights of my visit was undoubtedly the chicken tacos. They are nothing short of amazing! The chicken has a delightful home-cooked taste that sets it apart from typical restaurant fare. Each bite is packed with flavor, and the fresh ingredients really shine. Paired with the fries, which are seasoned to perfection, it makes for a meal that you won’t soon forget. The fries have just the right amount of seasoning, making them the perfect crunchy side to complement the tacos.
Chef Travis truly elevates the dining experience at Space Shuttle Café. He is incredibly welcoming and takes the time to chat with guests about the fascinating history of the shuttle. It’s not just a meal; it's an experience where you can feel the passion for food and the love for space exploration.
