I have bought rolls labeled "bolillos" in Tucson, a city with large Mexican population. Tried a number of Latino places...they were uniformly awful...soft crust and the inside was fluffy. They reminded me of the sandwich rolls from Puebla (cemitas). In fact the pictures in your link look very much like cemita rolls.
Our local bolillos look like this....notice the 'waist' on them....you can buy whole ( a doble) or break in half if that's all you want.
When I am in US and want to make a torta ahogado, I start with a proper French baguette.
Yup on point observation, Glad you have access to the custy heartier style.
