$3.60 for a taco in AZ feels high yet I don’t know what they cost in my city because I’ve not entered a taqueria or mexican restaurant since September when I fetched enchiladas for some people.

anyway consumers will show their feedback regarding the tacos. The restaurant will either keep or change pricing. I just got 4 froyos at a self-serve / weight place. $28 before tip. It’s a treat type place and definitely yummy expensive.
