A man of the cloth isn’t cheap, of course
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.
Part of the expense is the size of the meal. It’s not uncommon for a sit down restaurant to offer up an entire day’s worth of calories on one plate. At one of our local places I ordered clams and pasta. When it was delivered I knew this had started out as a full pound of dry pasta. 1600 calories before figuring in sauce. And don’t forget the unlimited sugar refills on that soda. Would you like an appetizer or dessert?
…but why?
It’s cheaper to make more money off fewer people than it is to get a lot more people to make a little money off of.
Once someone decides to eat out you need to make it seem like they got their money’s worth. Feeding them more than they should eat gives the appearance of value. The alternative is expensive staff training, ingredients you can’t get from Sysco, or laundry service for table cloths and napkins. Better to pile a large portion on a plate than to step up quality.Capitalism is fucked Is the short answer
Norway is a capitalist country as well
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.
No unlimited refills? Pathetic. Cancelling my vacation and questioning whether or not Norway is a developed nation.
Food prices in the US are shocking
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).

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?
Well, it’s roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It’s a real bargain!
I want only organic toddlers in my burrito!
Chale ¿y que hace? ¿Vuela o qué?
no vuela pero te abre el chongo del culo
Lo debieron llamar “Burrito Roberto”
