In Mexico City, as a student, it is hard to find a place to have a good meal so you have to eat whatever is served in your school. Here you can check the kind of food served at my school’s cafeteria:
Sandwiches or “cuernitos” (croissant)
- ham
- turkey ham
- sausages
- eggs
- breaded beef
- breaded chicken breast
- beefsteak
- Cuban (with all the ingredients above)
All of them with some onion, tomato and jalapeño pepper. You can add some cheese for extra money.
Hamburgers
- beef
- chicken
All served with tomato, onion, lettuce, jalapeño pepper, ketchup and mustard, and you can add cheese, extra cheese, bacon or pineapple.

- Enchiladas (tortillas dipped in sauce or mole with some chicken breast, some sour cream, some cheese and onion): green (green tomato sauce) or red (Mexican “mole”).
