Overpriced restaurant meals, price gouging.

I would think that customer choice would affect that price within weeks or days. Some increases are sustainable, but in the absence of a remarkable breakfast experience, that seems unsustainable. (Many years ago I had French Toast at the San Francisco Marriott Palace hotel. I thought it was outrageously priced… until I tasted it.)

In the spring of 2022 and in October I saw a sign outside a Zihuatanejo area restaurant one day each week, “Pizza 2 x $300”. On November 1 the sign changed to “2 x $400”.

No doubt some of that relates to inflation of the price of ingredients and some relates to the approach of the tourism high season. I expect there will be price moderation in April or May, but not back to $300.
