The wait is long, but it's worth it for the savings

The article reports on the long wait times at food distribution centers known as 'Utopías' in several districts of Mexico City, where residents line up for affordable meals. Residents like Blanca Rodríguez describe waiting four to five hours for a meal priced at 11 pesos, which includes food and flavored water. The centers operate daily starting at 1 PM, and some report that the demand often exceeds supply, forcing them to take multiple portions. Some users combine their purchases with nearby services, such as a tortilleria, to manage daily expenses. While many appreciate the affordability and quality of the food, they express frustration over limited quantities and suggest increasing the number of meals prepared daily. The piece highlights both the necessity of these services for low-income families and the challenges of meeting high demand.
