One of the breakfast offers to be available to passengers from Edinburgh Airport when the outlet opens

Passengers at Edinburgh Airport will get a taste of Mexico when Barburrito opens in the departures area early next year.

It will be the first Barburrito to operate in an airport and will create 20 jobs.

Passengers will be able to sit in to eat or take food on board their flight.

And there’s a special Edinburgh Airport breakfast menu which isn’t available on the high street including breakfast burritos, taco pots, pancakes and eggs rancheros as well as favourites like bacon rolls.

The shop will also be equipped with USB points and plug sockets for customers to charge phones and tablets or even video call home.

Barburrito currently operates seven sites in Scotland in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Morgan Davies, the company CEO, said: “My first job was working in the sky shops at Edinburgh Airport and it is personally exciting to be returning to open a business at this fantastic airport.”
