On weekends, her breakfast consists of four barbacoa or mixiote tacos and a bottled guava juice; her lunch consists of three slices of Hawaiian pizza with a can of regular cola and a dessert, mainly strawberry ice cream; dinner consists of three or four pastor or suadero tacos with vegetables, and she orders them with a tortilla, as well as a bottled mango juice, and, for dessert, a Neapolitan flan.
