The food options for Moraine students have changed for the spring semester of 2012 as Sodexo, the company that runs Café Moraine, introduced El Ciclone Del Taco and the Cyclones Subs cart.
El Ciclone Del Taco will take over the space used during the last semester by Zaragoza’s in the U building. El Ciclone Del Taco will continue to offer a variety of Mexican themed cuisine just as Zaragoza’s did, but will now be operated by a group of student workers hired during winter break. The menu for El Ciclone Del Taco will not feature the same variety as Zaragoza’s previously had, but will serve staples such as beef or chicken burritos, burrito bowls, tacos and salads.
The second addition to food service on the Moraine campus will be the Cyclone Subs cart that will begin serving students once the weather is more conducive. Cyclone Subs will be taking over the services provided last semester by Jersey Mike’s. Cyclone Subs will provide an on-the-go version of the subs prepared in Café Moraine in the deli station. The cart will also offer fresh pasta salad, potato salad and Caesar salads. As with El Ciclone Del Taco, the Cyclone Subs cart will be run by recently hired student workers.
Aside from Sodexo’s expansion into El Ciclone Del Taco and the Cyclone Subs cart, changes have been made to the layout and format in which Café Moraine will serve students. The entrée station has been updated as the brand new International Station. Each week the station will feature a different theme such as Italian or German cuisine. Another updated station will be the More Than Just Dawgs station. In addition to hot dogs the area will also serve up polish sausages and brats with the appropriate toppings.
A new system in place is SoGo cards, which will act as a gift card for El Ciclon Del Taco, Cyclone Subs and Café Moraine. A website will be available to adjust balances as well as a Facebook page which will provide information on the goings on of all three food offerings.
“We have a great facility we are able to use, and our goal is to bring more students to the U building/Cafe Moraine and be aware of their dining choices especially here on campus,” said General Manage of Sodexo at Moraine Valley Roger Hammesfahr.
