Bandera de México

/Sounds like "lohn" + "CHEH" (as in "check" without "ck") + "rah" (as in "rah")/

A portable container for carrying food to work or school from home. In Mexico, the lonchera is a core part of childhood — your mom packed it every morning with love and a little juice box.

Example

"I forgot my lonchera at home and I don't have money for lunch."

"My mom used to put a sandwich and juice in my lonchera."
