¡Hola! I'm writing to you from Mexico City. Our flight from Vancouver was delayed for an hour, so we didn't get to our hotel until after 1:00 a.m.
Air Canada gave us pretzels and liquids (juice), but we hadn't had dinner yet. We were starving! Luckily, our fantastic hotel (Historico Central Hotel) has a 24-hour café that offers complimentary food to guests. They only had a few food items available, so we decided on molettes and torta.

Molettes is a beloved Mexican open-faced sandwich with toasted bolillo (a crusty white bread roll) as its base generously covered in refried beans, melted cheese, and ham.

Meanwhile, torta is a classic Mexican sandwich. Between the same bolillo bread are creamy cheese, turkey ham, and sun-dried tomatoes.

The food was so comforting, especially at 2:00 a.m.! I can't wait to share more about our food adventures in Mexico City.
