I can tell you that I'm not paying first world prices at $74 to $1. It isn't that inflation won't soon catch up, but right now is an excellent time to spend your US Dollars here.
(On the other hand, I did walk by Casa Las Lilias a few days ago, looked at the menu, and yes, you will continue to pay first world prices there, even in Blue.)
