Menus in Mexico use the $ as an abbreviation for peso, which would make that about a 2 dollar burrito.

That’s interesting because there was a recent episode of Rob Words where he shows that $ came from the original symbol for the peso. And that the dollar was essentially the same as the peso initially.

And it's probably awesome too.

People claim that Norway is expensive, but I have to object. Food prices in the US are shocking, and then you get the added shock of sales tax and obligatory tips at the end of the meal. I find it less stressful to eat out in Norway than in the US, even though the food and service here can often be disappointing.

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 hour ago

People above said this is probably just using the $ for pesos, which would make this about $2USD.

As for US food prices, it varies a lot depending on where you are. Where I live, fast food meals are usually $7-10 and nicer sit down restaurants are $10-20.

I visited Norway about 10 years ago, at the time the food there was more expensive for a lot less food. The drinks weren't unlimited refills either. Beautiful countryside though.

This isn't in the US, though. This is (probably) Mexico.

How would you tell? This sign looks exactly the same as the deli in the mexican grocery store a few blocks away from me (I'm in California).

Because nowhere do you pay USD 37 for a burrito where the menu is on display at the counter, such as this.

Nowhere.

I've seen them get pretty pricey at trendy hipster taco stands in the Bay Area and LA. Not quite $37, but over $25. This doesn't seem unreasonable to be from a gentrified white 20 something year old tech bro's idea of a taqueria.

But is it the size of a toddler?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I want only organic toddlers in my burrito!

Chale ¿y que hace? ¿Vuela o qué?

[-] SanderZeldenthuis@nord.pub 2 points 2 hours ago
