Tres Picosos Brings a Fiesta to Evolvending's Automated Dining Platform

Tres Locos Mexican food is now available hot at the touch of a button.

DENVER, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tres Picosos, known for its authentic approach to Mexican cuisine, announces its partnership with Evolvending, a leader in automated dining across U.S. airports. The company's crazy good Mexican food brand, Tres Locos, currently operates a kiosk at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) Terminal 1, Concourse G, which serves the prominent carrier Delta Air Lines.

In addition to Tres Picosos' footprint in QSR, convenience, and grocery channels, airport travelers will now have round-the-clock access to hot, authentic Mexican food at the touch of a button. The Tres Locos kiosk features its most in-demand burritos, including Bacon Breakfast, Chicken Fajita, Picadillo Beef, and Pork Carnitas, as well as street-style tacos. 

"It's bueno to be entering this new and exciting marketplace," said Jane Hartgrove, la jefa (Spanish for "the boss") at Tres Picosos. "The Evolvending concept fills an important need when convenience is essential, and enjoyment is valued. Now, customers can get delicious Mexican food exactly how and when they want it — hot and ready — even when the rest of the world is closed."

According to Vending Times, the hot food vending machine industry in the U.S. and Canada is predicted to reach $9.6 billion by 2036, up from $5.5 billion in early 2026. Tres Picosos plans to build on this growth with additional airports planned in the coming months.

Tres Locos is also available at current EvolveCAFÉ locations, including Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Charleston International Airport (CHS), Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), reflecting the company's strategy to offer travelers a diverse mix of premium dining options spanning breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and fresh food concepts.

"One of the strengths of our platform is our ability to bring together a diverse portfolio of brands that reflects how travelers want to eat today," said Valentina Ellison, CEO of Evolvending. "Tres Locos is a fantastic brand that delivers authentic, high-quality Mexican cuisine. We're excited to add one of America's favorite food categories to our platform while giving our airport partners even greater flexibility to meet evolving traveler preferences."
