Well- here's a SHOCK, I'd not expected.
Due to COVID19's negative effect on the health of workers in The Meatpacking Supply Chain- meat price increases have changed the price of a taco.
What had been a Taco de Guisado- under $2.00-
is now a $3.00 Taco.
What had been a $6.95 small dinner combo-
is now $14.00.

Still as savory and tasty as ever-
it's just a sticker shock I'd not considered. Maybe- a good reason to consider Plant-based Mexican food next time around.

Mexican grocery near me was selling taco meat for $9.98 lb,formerly 4 to 5 dollars a lb. No tacos for me

Yeah, visited my favorite butcher yesterday. Beef was 30-40% higher than a couple of weeks ago. Ouch.
