I've seen far fewer people out in our goto restaurants this year. It's kind of worrisome for those owners and their wait staff when 1/3 full is about all they seem to get. And, it seems to be more Mexican families and fewer foreigners. I wonder if it's the food inflation. A 300 peso entree from last year is often 360 now. When you combine that with 17 pesos to the dollar, restaurants are not much less than in the US. With no appetizer, two entrees and two drinks plus tip, I spent 1,500 pesos last night.
