Mi Cocina Mexican Restaurant

I love this restaurant, by far the best green chili and salsa, but they have finally raised their prices to where I can't afford to eat there anymore.

Before everything 'got expensive', their lunch special was $9.99 for a smothered burrito, rice, beans, small bag of chips and salsa and a drink. It slowly creeped up, to $12.99, then they got rid of the iced tea, then they got rid of the chips and salsa! Now have pay $6 for a small bag of chips (they are good) and some salsa.

I talked with the owner and understood that food prices are much higher, he said they have come down, not to where they were a few years ago, as it is normal

I got their lunch special and small bag of chips and salsa that cost $21!!! this was for their 'lunch special' - we are talking about a simple burrito, with chicken, green chili, beans and rice - the cheapest ingredients. Plus, the chips and salsa.

In other words, it has basically doubled in price, and I did not get the feeling there is any intention to lowering those prices anytime soon. I understand restaurants have very thin margins, but I guess losing business because it is too expensive is not a good combination.

they also used to have a loyalty card, 10 meals, next one free, that is gone, or they sent a coupon that if you spent $15, you got a discount - that is gone.

Like I said, I love their food and probably will just go buy their salsa and green chili but can't afford or justify $21 for lunch!
