That's a BIG increase. I usually order the "Speedy Gonzales" at the Mexican restaurant we go to. It's an enchilada, rice, and a taco. On Saturday and all times prior to then it was $6.99. Yesterday it was $8.99. Just three days later the price increased by 28%. Last year we noticed the restaurant raised their prices by 20-something % overall. We may have to stop going there. We were eating out there for $15 a few years ago and now it's $30.

Yup, I blame the current president for putting tariffs on everything you can think of. I would think twice before going out to dinner. But the market prices are going up too. . .

I’m shocked you got that for even $8.99. That’ll run you about five bucks more here, unfortunately.

That's a pity. Red Lobster has gotten SO expensive; but I love going there and I pay for it out of my survey and MyLot earnings.

Wow. That IS a huge jump. Did they think people wouldn't notice or not care? Believe me, EVERYONE is watching prices these days. I'd put a lot of distance between my next visit for sure.
