Introduction: Food is immersed in the health-disease process, therefore, it is important to recognize the preferences of university students. Objective: To know the food preferences of university students from a nutrition program. Material and method: Cross-sectional study in 343 students at a Public University of Nuevo León, Mexico. Online survey adapted from an eating behavior questionnaire. Descriptive analysis. Results: 91% women, age 21.03 (± 2.86) years. Dishes that they prefer at school are chilaquiles and panini, outside of school they select chilaquiles, sandwich and tacos, in convenience stores they choose snacks. Consumption factors are taste and price; time is what is missing to improve their diet. Conclusions: The knowledge of food preferences in students allows establishing preventive actions in the university environment.
