Las Trojes Express

Quality food. Service leave much to be desired

According to official university statements, «Las Trojes Express is located in the bottom level of the Ansari Business Building. It features fresh and fast Mexican food made to order. Forms of tender accepted here are cash, FoodBucks, and WolfBucks.» Which doesn’t really tell you anything.
I have approximately as many fond college memories of Las Trojes as I do The Wal (
) or Archies (
), although these memories are more on the study-​session-​in-​between-​classes end of the spectrum, as opposed to the somebody-​has-​vomited-​cheap-​beer-​everywhere end.
But the fondest memory I have of Las Trojes is that, perhaps shamefully, this restaurant is where I discovered that I cannot live without guacamole. Because college really is an opportunity to better yourself.
Runner-​up favorite memory is from October 2010, when the rabble-​rousing Students for Liberty/​Abolish ASUN club organizers arranged for the student government to spend more than $ 900 on Las Trojes food on a first-​come, first-​served basis. Which obviously dissolved into chaos, because free food. Which was intended to illustrate (a) the futility of ASUN (
) and (b) the fallacy of public goods (
). You might as well read all about the economic implications of that. Because college.
Anyway, all of that has been wildly, wildly off topic.
What I’m supposed to mention here, eventually, are the nachos. You have to order these very awkwardly by sticking your face into the warming racks and somehow getting the attention of the kitchen staff. But they’re somewhat inexpensive, and they’re pretty filling. The chicken nachos are the best. The guacamole is excellent, the chips are a little weird, and the melted cheese is most definitely, noticeably not even in the same family as real cheese. This is fine with me.
Also, the energy drinks and sodas are oddly expensive here. You can get a soda for several dollars less if you just walk over to the student union.
I hope this has been educational.
