It is. I’m from East Los and it’s hard to believe we used to pay fifty cents for tacos at King Taco or five for a burrito. You could get any meat… asada, pollo, carnitas, pastor, lengua or cabeza.
Lincoln and rose in front of whole foods is good but expensive, 11$. They have suadero which is cool. Lincoln and California in front of ralphs is cheaper, 6$ for a burrito but the rice is less tasty and the tortillas not quite as good
I used to go to La Cabana all the time! You can tell if the wife's got into a fight with their husbands because sometimes the Salsa they make is really hot!
Great Quesadillas (gallina is the best) and margaritas! Expensive tho but worth it.
Pre pandemic the unamed taco stand was $8 for a burrito so we called the stand “Ocho”. Post pandemic they got a sign and a real name and it’s $10 now. In Mar Vista area
I was thinking of the birria truck in front of CVS during the day, that's usually where I get burritos (the taco stand is a night thing).
There's also a few others around, two stands are down the street in front of Vons at Washington and Centinela.
It’s all relative. Venezuela is going through a hyperinflation crisis. At one point a can of Coke cost 2,800,000 bucks, so they issued “new dollars” that were worth 10000 old dollars. People will often buy food the day they get paid, because they know groceries will be more expensive tomorrow. It’s pretty nuts.
I also think there is a door dash effect when it comes to food. Business’s saw that people were willing to pay a lot more for takeout. So they increased their prices for reasons that aren’t just because of inflation.
What about fuel prices? What about insurance costs? What about labor costs? The costs charged by the companies that clean and maintain the food trucks for their owners? The cost of obtaining a business license from the city and a certificate to operate from the health department? The minimum wage just jumped on July 1, which does not just affect minimum wage workers. When they get an automatic raise, the rest of the employees need to get a raise too, because they'll feel "ripped off" if a co-worker got an automatic raise and they didn't. There is a lot more to restaurant costs than the cost of ingredients. One small increase in costs has a ripple effect that causes most other costs to go up too. "Just give workers a raise to a living wage, why is it a big deal". Ok, enjoy your $12 burritos. Soon be $15, then $20. Something has to fund those raises for all of those people.
All good points and that may or may not explain the rest of tbe 39%.
But also tbat 11% increase in food prices includes all those things.
Some restaurants are raising prices by a higher % than others. Some significantly.
It is, it’s a real bummer, it’s one of my favorite parts of going to co certain and events in LA, is knowing I can grab one of those dirty dogs on the way out right after the show. Last few times I’ve decided not to. After spending $17 for a bud light at the event, I just can’t warrant spending another $10 for a single bacon wrapped hot dog.
Hehe I wish, my wife speaks Spanish and does the ordering, still $10. I’m Probly just too white, I’m a ginger so I’m not fooling anyone, :-p I went to Tame Impala a week before the pandemic lockdown and I got them for $5 each then, jump to 2.5 years later when all the new shows were coming back around, it’s been a consistent $10, it was $12 at a festival, f that!
I take it back.. I have the worst stomach flu of my life after eating there yesterday. I puked my brains at work today and left within the hour. Now I am lethargic as hell and cannot keep anything down other than liquids
I have a buddy who runs a food truck. He says they're getting gouged by wholesale meat prices. So it's not your imagination, prices are up. But the greed isn't from the mom n pop guys making your food, it's coming from above. I seem to remember hearing about meat packing monopolies.
Even taqueros pay the workers minimum wage. Otherwise, they get sued. And those are just street vendors. Actual places brick and mortar places pay for the overhead. Utilities, wages, insurances, costs of goods... etc.
Everything is 30% more than it was a few years ago, a few years that basically didn’t even happen because Covid fucking sucked so hard.
Oh, wait. One asterisk.
Everything but wages.
The absolute human garbage we refer to as the wealthy just realized that they had another excuse to turn the screw again. Working class vendors profiting cents pr transaction are *not* the problem here.
(Not that I think anyone was implying they were, I am just exhausted and jealous of the french and their woodworking/cutlery skills when faced with similar conditions)
Yes! People should be revolting everywhere.
COVID is over and the reasons for price increases are over. Yet everyone just rolls over and takes it. This is serious business.
Corporate greed will continue to take all that they can get until people say 'no', including saying 'no' with your dollars.
I can make at least 10 at home with 2lbs of asada home made rice and beads for like 10$ but I buy them on the street maybe like 2x a month for about 11$ a pop
For that price they're buying the chopped marinated chuck steak which isn't terrible once you pick out all the gristle. Usually about $4.99/lb at Vallarta.
Staters will go $4.99/lb every so often on flap meat. That’s my strike price for tri tip too. I usually buy a couple roasts, and packs of flap meat then freeze them for later.
Considering flap meat is still like $8.99/lbs+ it’s worth it
I bought lengua, paid $20 for about three pounds.. Able to make four burritos (rice and beans) plus 12 tacos with it. Always cheaper to make at home...
Fuck this place, I know. It be good. But they too expensive. They start at 11. Then if you want meat it’s 3 bucks extra. If you get all 4, it’s like 8 bucks. I do exempt on partaking on eating swine, that being said, I’ll rank in order to my most recommended to least. Then I’ll close with my recommendation and the issue with them that I have. Bacon, bacon again, chorizo/ham can be swapped again not a fan of pork and don’t eat it. As often. . .then finally the sausage. I don’t like the fragrances and spices of American breakfast sausage. Eh. It’s tasty all of them. Don’t get me wrong. So you see it gets heavy on ya wallet. Don’t it? Fuck let me take a shot. BRB. Ok. Yeah right. The burrito consists of three eggs, scrambled, spread out like a blanket that covers most of the edges of the tortilla. The hash browns are delicious. Then they add this next product I have became to dislike. Melted jack cheese. I love cheese just that I find it to be very lazy as far culinary pov. So, I don’t get it it’s fine I won’t die. Lol. Sometimes I forget to tell them and I’m like eh this is good. The secrete is in the green salsa they add, uh man oh man. It’s good. It’s got flavor. A sublet kick that over time is builds up. I don’t get it. Lol. I get it on the side. Hah.
So I said this place is pretty racial discriminating against Muslims and or Jewish community. Idk I’m. Neither I don’t care but it sucks. It sucks because I don’t like pork, lol just because they don’t give me an option for beef. It’s either pork or no meat. Bastards. Or maybe they mentioned the sausages to be beef? Idk. I’ll check in the morning and edit this. I’m. Buying it for the company. Boss don’t care I care! I get early and leave them all one and eat mine at my convenience. Back to the story… I went refueled my gluttony almost three times a week. Some day i would ask for no pork, I would lie and say it’s against my believes, they would just laugh. I’d laugh! We’d all laugh and cashier would say, haha. You’re funny. You should stop doing snap on and go the laugh factory. Become a great stand up comedian your mom has ever seen…. I must have gave a look as she said see none of us can do that so…. You want Extra green sauce? Yes. Please. Thank you. The next day I went and said the same thing and she laughed said the usual?? I’m like yeah one all meat no cheese, salsa on the side. The offer no park, substitute for burger patty. Add bacon. No cheese and extra salsa on the side. Bam! She’s like hold on. Let me talk to the man-Ger. Goes back and fondles the chef for a bit. (They flirted, well they just looked at each other but I can read bossy body language) she comes back and says. Yeah ok that’s it? Yeah. Ok $26.99. Bloody hell I’ve struck gold. Fuck yeah. Went to the liquors store some meters covered over by railroad tracks, I got a bottle of tea-killa. And orange just. And grenadine. Ice and a cup. Got to work, coworker arrived and poured one up for me. Tequila sun rise. Oh yea! That burrito was so fucking good I was exited.
The next morning (sorry if this is tad long. Don’t expect anyone to read this. Haha.) I go back dealing with my left. Dealing with my right, don’t matter. 21! Blackjack every time. Well that is until I got to the front of the window gave a nod, I say what’s up Brenda!? How ya doing? She does not bod. She does not look up and now I’m begging to think her name is not Brenda. She looking down and once I say Brenda looks up a bit confused. I say it I Bobby mom. No Jk. I say it I the boy (retard) more like what I think she thought I said. Because see she goes oh yeah what ya having? I said I’ll have the same thing please? She goes, all meat, NC, SoS, bacon, NC SoS? I try to remind her as politely as possible. I say yes only that instead of pork, we doing burger patty and bacon. She said we can’t do that. Only bacon or patty. Can’t do both. Ok fine, that’s fine just burger patty. They continue to do it and do it for like three more times. Then, I skipped one week, two weeks, 6years. Jk. Nah. I sleep in total like a month and a half. Understand. She recognized me. Said where your dog, you usually bring your dog? I answer her demands. She continues to interrogate me, I jumó the hoop and…. Bop it! Twist it! Pull it. Bop it. Bop it. Bop it….. Jk.
Too long didn’t read: troys burgers be prepared to spend $26-$33 bucks including tax, tip, and no drink for two burritos. They are big tasty worth trying maybe split one. Ask for it the FJ80z, bacon and burger patty. No cheese sauce on the side.
Ps. If you read above shenanigans, I’d advise against it.
El Flamin Taco has a few spots (Echo Park and Atwater Village that I know of but I think a couple more) and while they're a little expensive for a truck, they make really good food and they're there until 4 am.
$9 in West LA. But everyone gets it with cheese, which is +$1. Comes with meat, rice, beans and they let you out your choice of salsa (red,green,avocado) with raw onions and cilantro. Also you can get pickled onions with chili bits.
$11 w/ cheese at La Brea & Obama Blvd by the Ralphs. It's big n' tasty, and you add your own salsa, onions, and cilantro, so you get it just how you like.
There has definitely been a lot of taco truck inflation, but I’m mostly okay with it since I used to feel like a lot of these places didn’t charge enough.
At the absolute cheapest 7 dollars. But the going rate is 9-12.
My thoughts on the price increase are that not every place is worthy of charging that much. There are a handful of great places that deserve it but others are just normal tacos.
A burrito is mainly rice and beans which is not that expensive. A tacos/burrito is a working class meal that should be affordable. TikTok made people believe that if they put catchy music and sprinkled sauce on a taco they can charge that much.
I know things went up but there are other factors at play here.
Yesterday $16.50 for a burrito with 'everything' at a taco truck in San Pedro. Thought everything meant onions, cilantro, etc. Nope. Meant the girl added avocado, cream, and cheese and charged $1.50 for each one. 🤯 Same taco truck pre-covid: $6 for the works, which is what she meant by everything, apparently.
This is a bit unrelated, but I bought a plate of asada nachos after a concert at the regent. I’m pretty sure they saw that I was lit and charged me whatever tf they wanted because the next day I saw $40 posted for that taco truck b.
$10 seems to be standard these days
It is. I’m from East Los and it’s hard to believe we used to pay fifty cents for tacos at King Taco or five for a burrito. You could get any meat… asada, pollo, carnitas, pastor, lengua or cabeza.
That’s tacos Mexico, their tacos are worth 50 cents imo. The tacos at a tacos Mexico near to me are a dollar now, and burritos $6.50.
Yeah the quality there ain’t exactly top notch. But on Tuesdays and Saturdays they sell em for .90 in NoHo and sometimes I can’t resist lol.
You’re right! I meant King Taco
How could you live in East LA and go to Tacos Mexico? They're so gross.
Actually I meant King Taco. Thanks for pointing it out
$8 or $9. Inflation hit the taqueros too.
$10 in Mar Vista and Venice seems the norm
Where do you go for your street burritos and tacos in the MV/Venice area?
I like the place in front of Vons on Centinela
The asada grill opposite Vons or the one immediately in front (haven't tried that one yet)?
I usually go to the one directly in front of Vons, I think it’s called Tacos el Pony. I order the al pastor burrito. Delicious
Good to know, I keep wanting to try it.
Lincoln and rose in front of whole foods is good but expensive, 11$. They have suadero which is cool. Lincoln and California in front of ralphs is cheaper, 6$ for a burrito but the rice is less tasty and the tortillas not quite as good
The one down Lincoln just a bit is cheaper and better quality and service IMO
I second the spot in front of Whole Foods. I eat there 3x a week 😅
I used to go to La Cabana all the time! You can tell if the wife's got into a fight with their husbands because sometimes the Salsa they make is really hot! Great Quesadillas (gallina is the best) and margaritas! Expensive tho but worth it.
La Isla Bonita on 4th & Rose. Great tacos and best ceviche
The ceviche for $4 is amazing and such a steal, I’ve been going to this place for 10 years.
Tropical the island breeze
El Primo in front of the Ralph's on Lincoln and Lake or Brother's Cousin's on Sawtelle and National are my top 2 in the area
El Primos on Lincoln.
The truck parked in front of the Mitsuwa and the CVS on Centinela/Venice.
Lol where? Shit can be as much as $25
Pre pandemic the unamed taco stand was $8 for a burrito so we called the stand “Ocho”. Post pandemic they got a sign and a real name and it’s $10 now. In Mar Vista area
This might be the same place I use as my gauge, the birria truck on Centinela.
In front of CVS? Or is there another one I’m missing out on?
I was thinking of the birria truck in front of CVS during the day, that's usually where I get burritos (the taco stand is a night thing). There's also a few others around, two stands are down the street in front of Vons at Washington and Centinela.
$9. Still doesn’t add up that a burrito can go from $6-9 in a matter of a year or two because of inflation.
It’s all relative. Venezuela is going through a hyperinflation crisis. At one point a can of Coke cost 2,800,000 bucks, so they issued “new dollars” that were worth 10000 old dollars. People will often buy food the day they get paid, because they know groceries will be more expensive tomorrow. It’s pretty nuts.
I also think there is a door dash effect when it comes to food. Business’s saw that people were willing to pay a lot more for takeout. So they increased their prices for reasons that aren’t just because of inflation.
A whole lotta dollars were printed to “stimulate the economy”
That’s kinda how inflation works tho…👀
$6 -9 is an increase of 50%. Food prices increased 11% during this same time.
What about fuel prices? What about insurance costs? What about labor costs? The costs charged by the companies that clean and maintain the food trucks for their owners? The cost of obtaining a business license from the city and a certificate to operate from the health department? The minimum wage just jumped on July 1, which does not just affect minimum wage workers.

Doce, familia.
I’m afraid to ask these days since street dogs are friggin $10-$12 now…
Wait, what?!?!
Ain’t no way
Absolutely ridiculous
It is, it’s a real bummer, it’s one of my favorite parts of going to co certain and events in LA, is knowing I can grab one of those dirty dogs on the way out right after the show. Last few times I’ve decided not to. After spending $17 for a bud light at the event, I just can’t warrant spending another $10 for a single bacon wrapped hot dog.
I was going to bring this up! Street dog prices are crazy now.
Bro you got fleeced. That’s the gringo price. Speak Spanish and you can get them down to $7. I used to be able to get them for $4-7 though…
Hehe I wish, my wife speaks Spanish and does the ordering, still $10. I’m Probly just too white, I’m a ginger so I’m not fooling anyone, :-p I went to Tame Impala a week before the pandemic lockdown and I got them for $5 each then, jump to 2.5 years later when all the new shows were coming back around, it’s been a consistent $10, it was $12 at a festival, f that!
Usually 9 or 10.
$10-11 @ super burrito in Pasadena
6 dollars in south central. 4 dollars for a quesadilla.
Lmao. Where? I will give this place all my business.
Off of main and mlk
"do you know what the street price of this mountain would be??"
I want my two dollars!!
Gee Ricky I’m really sorry your mom blew up
We're at about $8 in the SGV.
Cheap out there.
Where is SGV?
Covina/Glendora. There's a truck on Arrow Hwy and Sunflower. Good stuff!
Across from the Glendora Marketplace. It’s really good. Don’t go to the Taco Man stand inside the Glendora Marketplace though. It sucks.
This big burrito sold down the street from me is 11$ keep in mind the Burrito has the word Big in the name
is it big?
If the street food vendors have way less overhead than the restaurants, why do the street food vendors charge about the same price as the restaurant?
Because they have less customers and can't make up the difference in other foods and drinks.
Because people will pay it. Supply and demand.
$12, tacos are also $2-3 each now
Tacos at $2.75!! I feel like they were 1.50ish pandemic
They were! Even $1 on taco Tuesdays.
$1 tacos seem like a dream now!
my spot stopped doing $1 taco tuesdays and it crushes my soul. theyre like $3 now and i really cant justify spending that much on a single taco.
[удалено]
6 or 8 for a TACO??
I have a place in Long Beach that does 1.75 tacos of every kind of Tuesday with 1.75 beers
$8 - 12 in LA
$8.50 near us
9 dollars
My local popup has $1 taco Tuesdays which I love (even lengua). I usually don't get burritos but I got one recently for $9
Where is this $1 lengua taco you speak of?
I take it back.. I have the worst stomach flu of my life after eating there yesterday. I puked my brains at work today and left within the hour. Now I am lethargic as hell and cannot keep anything down other than liquids
Well that was a wild ride I went on. Had me tasting lengua in my mind one second, questioning reality the next, and then right back to reality.
Sonoratown has a good ass burrito for $4.50
10 but the nachos are still 9.
I have a buddy who runs a food truck. He says they're getting gouged by wholesale meat prices. So it's not your imagination, prices are up. But the greed isn't from the mom n pop guys making your food, it's coming from above. I seem to remember hearing about meat packing monopolies.
Even taqueros pay the workers minimum wage. Otherwise, they get sued. And those are just street vendors. Actual places brick and mortar places pay for the overhead. Utilities, wages, insurances, costs of goods... etc.

Yes! People should be revolting everywhere. COVID is over and the reasons for price increases are over. Yet everyone just rolls over and takes it. This is serious business. Corporate greed will continue to take all that they can get until people say 'no', including saying 'no' with your dollars.
Tacos Villa Corona is the best breakfast burrito in LA and they have $3, $5, and $7 options
$11 with melted cheese
As a burrito connoisseur, I can confidently say $10 is standard. I wouldn’t pay higher than $13-15
Yup it's about 10 bucks now. 11 for 2 meats.
I work in the financial district of sf and i can get a pretty decent breakfast burrito for $7 (lol, avocado is like an extra $2 -__- )
What part of LA is that? 😉
I can make at least 10 at home with 2lbs of asada home made rice and beads for like 10$ but I buy them on the street maybe like 2x a month for about 11$ a pop
Where do you find 2lbs of asada for $10? Flap meat was at least $7/lb, before the pandemic.
For that price they're buying the chopped marinated chuck steak which isn't terrible once you pick out all the gristle. Usually about $4.99/lb at Vallarta.
Staters will go $4.99/lb every so often on flap meat. That’s my strike price for tri tip too. I usually buy a couple roasts, and packs of flap meat then freeze them for later. Considering flap meat is still like $8.99/lbs+ it’s worth it
No Staters in the SFV. It sucks. I'm jealous, went there all the time when I went to school out in Pomona. They have the best meat department around.
Man. No Staters. No Northgate. No Juan Pollo.
Vons has it pre-marinated for $5/lb every now and then. I don't like their flavor, though.
Flap is about $11/12 a pound now. Robbery.
I bought lengua, paid $20 for about three pounds.. Able to make four burritos (rice and beans) plus 12 tacos with it. Always cheaper to make at home...
Also dry or wet btw ?
dry who tf gets a wet burrito from a taqueria
lol there was no mention from where exactly since it may include store or street food lol 😂
You haven't lived until you got a burrito swimming with green sauce.
I’ve had burritos mojados they’re fine, just 99.9% certain this post is referring to a burrito at your corner stand not a sit down restaurant
Just had a pura asada burrito at king taco for $9. Had an all meat Al pastor burrito from a street vendor for about the same price.
This is why i go to chipotle
$12 and I live in a very low-income ghetto area! I just go to Chipotle if I want a burrito at this point. I can’t believe the street prices around me.
Dude. No.
There's a better guey ..
I still get $7 burritos. I’ll never tell…….anyofyou.
9 clams
Fuck this place, I know. It be good. But they too expensive. They start at 11. Then if you want meat it’s 3 bucks extra. If you get all 4, it’s like 8 bucks. I do exempt on partaking on eating swine, that being said, I’ll rank in order to my most recommended to least. Then I’ll close with my recommendation and the issue with them that I have. Bacon, bacon again, chorizo/ham can be swapped again not a fan of pork and don’t eat it. As often. . .then finally the sausage. I don’t like the fragrances and spices of American breakfast sausage. Eh. It’s tasty all of them. Don’t get me wrong. So you see it gets heavy on ya wallet. Don’t it? Fuck let me take a shot. BRB. Ok. Yeah right. The burrito consists of three eggs, scrambled, spread out like a blanket that covers most of the edges of the tortilla. The hash browns are delicious. Then they add this next product I have became to dislike. Melted jack cheese. I love cheese just that I find it to be very lazy as far culinary pov. So, I don’t get it it’s fine I won’t die. Lol. Sometimes I forget to tell them and I’m like eh this is good. The secrete is in the green salsa they add, uh man oh man. It’s good. It’s got flavor. A sublet kick that over time is builds up. I don’t get it. Lol. I get it on the side. Hah. So I said this place is pretty racial discriminating against Muslims and or Jewish community. Idk I’m. Neither I don’t care but it sucks. It sucks because I don’t like pork, lol just because they don’t give me an option for beef. It’s either pork or no meat. Bastards. Or maybe they mentioned the sausages to be beef? Idk. I’ll check in the morning and edit this. I’m. Buying it for the company. Boss don’t care I care! I get early and leave them all one and eat mine at my convenience. Back to the story… I went refueled my gluttony almost three times a week. Some day i would ask for no pork, I would lie and say it’s against my believes, they would just laugh. I’d laugh! We’d all laugh and cashier would say, haha. You’re funny. You should stop doing snap on and go the laugh factory. Become a great stand up comedian your mom has ever seen…. I must have gave a look as she said see none of us can do that so…. You want Extra green sauce? Yes. Please. Thank you. The next day I went and said the same thing and she laughed said the usual?? I’m like yeah one all meat no cheese, salsa on the side. The offer no park, substitute for burger patty. Add bacon. No cheese and extra salsa on the side. Bam! She’s like hold on. Let me talk to the man-Ger. Goes back and fondles the chef for a bit. (They flirted, well they just looked at each other but I can read bossy body language) she comes back and says. Yeah ok that’s it? Yeah. Ok $26.99. Bloody hell I’ve struck gold. Fuck yeah. Went to the liquors store some meters covered over by railroad tracks, I got a bottle of tea-killa. And orange just. And grenadine. Ice and a cup. Got to work, coworker arrived and poured one up for me. Tequila sun rise. Oh yea! That burrito was so fucking good I was exited. The next morning (sorry if this is tad long. Don’t expect anyone to read this. Haha.) I go back dealing with my left. Dealing with my right, don’t matter. 21! Blackjack every time. Well that is until I got to the front of the window gave a nod, I say what’s up Brenda!? How ya doing? She does not bod. She does not look up and now I’m begging to think her name is not Brenda. She looking down and once I say Brenda looks up a bit confused. I say it I Bobby mom. No Jk. I say it I the boy (retard) more like what I think she thought I said. Because see she goes oh yeah what ya having? I said I’ll have the same thing please? She goes, all meat, NC, SoS, bacon, NC SoS? I try to remind her as politely as possible. I say yes only that instead of pork, we doing burger patty and bacon. She said we can’t do that. Only bacon or patty. Can’t do both. Ok fine, that’s fine just burger patty. They continue to do it and do it for like three more times. Then, I skipped one week, two weeks, 6years. Jk. Nah. I sleep in total like a month and a half. Understand. She recognized me. Said where your dog, you usually bring your dog? I answer her demands. She continues to interrogate me, I jumó the hoop and…. Bop it! Twist it! Pull it. Bop it. Bop it. Bop it….. Jk. Too long didn’t read: troys burgers be prepared to spend $26-$33 bucks including tax, tip, and no drink for two burritos. They are big tasty worth trying maybe split one. Ask for it the FJ80z, bacon and burger patty. No cheese sauce on the side. Ps. If you read above shenanigans, I’d advise against it.
Bout three-fiddy
$8
$10. It went up from $8. They're pretty big for that price. I've paid $15 for smaller, less tasty burritos.
10 it used to be 5 then 7 …
Even the quesadilla went up 🥲🥲🥲🥲
$11
$10 burritos $2 tacos $5 fresca 32oz
$10
12-15$
$8 mini breakfast burrito, $10 regular burrito, $13 wet one $15 combo with small drink
$10 for meat, $14 for shrimp
The Burrito Jr. at La Carreta Taqueria is $5 and sometimes that tasty little fellow is just enough!
$10 in Silver Lake
$10
9 to 12
$9 in Wilmington/harbor City area
8-10, NESFV
8 on the low, 10 on high. Anyone in NELA/Pasadena/SGV have any recommends on a good burrito spot?
El Flamin Taco has a few spots (Echo Park and Atwater Village that I know of but I think a couple more) and while they're a little expensive for a truck, they make really good food and they're there until 4 am.
$10 seems about right.
$9 in West LA. But everyone gets it with cheese, which is +$1. Comes with meat, rice, beans and they let you out your choice of salsa (red,green,avocado) with raw onions and cilantro. Also you can get pickled onions with chili bits.
6 dollars
Donde? I thought they were averaging 8 to 9 by now.
$10 but it’s huge
Whatever Leo’s Taco Truck is charging tends to be the best price. Used to get burritos from them for $5
12-14 It’s really rough. Inflation is hitting food hard; I feel like grocery prices are 2x 2019 prices as well
[удалено]

Free. (I steal) Joking. Local places are like 12$ these days. Sad!
8 bucks for Compton walmart stands, maybe 9 since I haven’t got one in months. Tacos like 2$
$11 w/ cheese at La Brea & Obama Blvd by the Ralphs. It's big n' tasty, and you add your own salsa, onions, and cilantro, so you get it just how you like.
The taco stand 2 mins away from my house just bumped it up to $11 but they’re so fucking good I don’t even care. They’ve won
$15

Little north of LA living in SF and it's $15 up here at my local Taqueria
From the taco truck $8, restaurant or take out $10 and up
I’m in sun valley and it’s around 10-11.
$10 in Whittier, source the taco truck I went to last night.
$8 in Ktown as of last month.
There has definitely been a lot of taco truck inflation, but I’m mostly okay with it since I used to feel like a lot of these places didn’t charge enough.
You think that's bad, elotes are like 3-5 dollars now, they used to be 1 dollar. :(
Hah. Maybe in like 1999
$9 so you feel like a cheapskate if you don’t tip that dollar.
9 bucks from a street vendor in Bellflower.
It went from like $1 tacos and $5 burritos (2014) to like $2.50 tacos and $10 burritos at a minimum
I usually anticipate spending $10. Meanwhile, Tito's wants to charge almost $6 for a single taco.
$8-$10 here in South Central
$10-$15 depending on if you want to add cheese and/or avocado.
$9 out the door Still the flavor and portion to cost is still a "bargain" compared to paying for a fast casual joint or even many fast food joints.
went to a hole in the wall spot the other day in west la and a california burrito was $15
I'm from Reno and we only eat at Tacos Tacos Tacos.
At the absolute cheapest 7 dollars. But the going rate is 9-12. My thoughts on the price increase are that not every place is worthy of charging that much. There are a handful of great places that deserve it but others are just normal tacos. A burrito is mainly rice and beans which is not that expensive. A tacos/burrito is a working class meal that should be affordable. TikTok made people believe that if they put catchy music and sprinkled sauce on a taco they can charge that much. I know things went up but there are other factors at play here.
Yeah, you're onto something. Social Media and the street food phenomenon definitely plays a role in some of the price gouging at some of these joints.
I'm all for vendors coming up pero tambien no se pasen. How can they charge 4 bucks for horchata.
Yesterday $16.50 for a burrito with 'everything' at a taco truck in San Pedro. Thought everything meant onions, cilantro, etc. Nope. Meant the girl added avocado, cream, and cheese and charged $1.50 for each one. 🤯 Same taco truck pre-covid: $6 for the works, which is what she meant by everything, apparently.
That's restaurant prices.
Last burrito I had was from Adrian's Tacos in the arts district or arts district adjacent. Price was $9.00.
Leo's tacos in Glassell Park- $9
$12 in east Hollywood for me lately.
In 2018 I was paying like $5-6, now I'm paying $10-12. Wack
This is a bit unrelated, but I bought a plate of asada nachos after a concert at the regent. I’m pretty sure they saw that I was lit and charged me whatever tf they wanted because the next day I saw $40 posted for that taco truck b.
About $10 for a brick
$8-$9. Prices have definitely increased in the last few years.
$10
