In San Francisco's Mission District, the owner of La Vaca Birria, Ricardo Lopez, has made headlines by doubling the price of the restaurant's signature burrito from $11 to $22. This price adjustment is a response to the rising costs of ingredients, which have reportedly doubled. Lopez insists that this move is essential to maintain the quality of his offerings without reducing staff or skimping on ingredients. He expressed a hope that other Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area would follow suit in adjusting their prices to reflect the economic pressures, stating, "I hope every damn Mexican restaurant in the Bay Area raises their prices." This significant price hike has sparked discussions on the impact of inflation on local businesses and the measures they are compelled to take to survive.
