"Inspired by Elena Ruz (the person), we like to customize Morro Castle’s elena ruz (the sandwich) and make up our own rules. So we substitute the turkey for ham. Let the purists judge, but sometimes turkey is kind of boring, and flavorless. Ham has a saltier, smoky flavor that balances out the tangy cream cheese and sweet jam—and Morro Castle thankfully lets us put our theory to the test. Our hope is to keep ordering it this way until they decide to name it after us. " - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
