Food & Shopping
- Have a Latin lunch
The Stars and Stripes Cafe is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a delectable menu of Latin favorites. There are some traditional dishes, like tortilla soup and empanadas, and some you probably haven’t already tasted, like chorizo, black bean pizza, and Mexican shrimp pasta. Our chefs have outdone themselves researching regional specialties and then presenting them to our visitors in a unique way. The menu changes every day, so there is always something fresh and delicious.
