@vile_Terrier aside of this song, mexican culture is not very present here. this includes mexican food. there are so few mexican restaurants, that the prices are too high. not many people here are interested in mexican food, so there is no reason to open more places. some forum members may remember when i wanted to buy a taco to celebrate taco day, but gave up on this idea because of how expensive the food is. let's look at burritos and compare them to other "roll" type of food
shawarma is far more common for geographical reasons here, so they can go for a low price
notice the amount of grams in this shawarma to judge the price correctly. now let's look at KFC and Mcdonalds rolls
although burrito is different from shawarma and kfc rolls, you can see how much more expensive it is. it's necessary to mention that the same food in a restaurant will cost more, than if it was sold on the streets. i spent crazy amount of money to try moon cakes during mid autumn festival, because moon cakes are very rare here and the easiest way for me was to order from a restaurant
