Breakfast

The breakfast usually consists of scrambled eggs, mashed beans, coffee and orange juice. For a small additional fee you can add fruit and chilaquiles.

Meal time

The meal of the day costs $55.00 pesos ($ 3.15 USD) and includes salad, soup, refill beverage, a meat dish and a small dessert. The food is good and the portions are large enough for students. The cooking is clearly for the Mexican taste but it isn't spicy, hot sauces are served separately. When asking for your meal just say "Un menú, por favor" and that's it, After your payment is clerared the cashier will give you a plastic coup for your refill beverage and your ticket. Then go to the bar, grab a tray, silverware and give your ticket to the cook and advance while he gives your salad, soup, etc.

Rush hour at the cafeteria begins around 14:00 so it's advisable to be early at the bar, between 13:00 and 13:30.

Other meals and snacks

The cafeteria serves a large array of dishes cooked on demand such as hamburgers, sandwiches, enchiladas, bagels, salads, baguettes and so on. To order one of those you'll have to read a menu in spanish and tell the cashier what do you want, upon payment you'll receive a ticket with a number and you'll have to wait until your number is broadcasted thru the local loudspeakers. If in doubt, you can ask for assistance from a student, our students are friendly and they'll be happy to help if their level of English if good enough. The Mexican experts will be close to help also.

Cleaning your place

Once you've finished your meal you can take your tray to the collecting cars located around the cafeteria. There's also cleaning staff continously picking up trays and dishes, they'll ask you whether they can take your tray. UPAEP makes a great point about having the cafeteria nice and clean.
