They haven't been that cheap since the 90s. 10 years ago, they were around $10.
- triclops200 9mo agoRead TFA. They got the price from the menu they were comparing to in 2014.
- radley 9mo agoAh, thanks! Looking through the Yelp pics, the price rose to $8 in 2016 and $9.50 by 2019. I expect Mission growth and rent increases have been a big factor.
- xnorswap 9mo agoIt seems backed up by a photo of it in 2014? It's unreadable at this scale, but I assume they have a better quality version they got the price from.
- lelanthran 9mo ago> They haven't been that cheap since the 90s. 10 years ago, they were around $10. You do realise that the article has actual photos of the menus from different years, right? What's your hypothesis here? They photoshopped the images?
- radley 9mo agoNo hypothesis, I didn't read far enough.
- BeetleB 9mo agoThey're looking at actual 2014 menus. But yeah, it's likely an outlier in 2014 to be that cheap. More like $7-8. Locally (not in SV), one can still find "cheap" burritos at Mexican joints. By cheap I mean $11-12. In one local restaurant, they bumped up burritos from about $11 to $18 within a year. I stopped going there.
