It's one of the busiest airports in the country if not the world: Denver International Airport. They're always adding new things; travelers will see at least eight new food spots for the 2024 holiday season.

People fly in and fly out of DIA coming from and going to many different locations; having different dining options at the airport adds to your adventure. Before heading out to wherever you're going, you can enjoy a new spot or two.

Nobody likes to fly hungry, right?

New Restaurants You'll Find at Denver International Airport for 2024 Holidays

I, for one, like to get the the airport early enough to have a drink and a meal before I get to the gate. It helps me to relax, as any trip (business or pleasure) can be stressful.

MORE Colorado Dining: This Mexican Restaurant is One of Colorado's Best

After opening in 2008, Las Palmeras Mexican Restaurant has become one of the area's very best locally-owned places to get delicious, and authentic Mexican food. We found this place by accident years ago while driving hungry down Main Street in Longmont and have been regulars ever since.

The owner, the staff, the food, and the drinks are all top notch and that's what makes this one of Colorado's top choices for delicious Mexican food. It's also a perfect place to watch sports!
