As the taco lifestyle spreads to all corners of the globe and all strata of society, savvy restaurateurs have infiltrated how to take a simple street food, add a fancy ingredient, and charge insane prices. ”The Brentwood” in Brentwood, California has figured out a way to take an item usually seen at anywhere from 50 cents to $2, and charge $38.50. How does one sell a taco for $38? Add a fancy ingredient like filet mignon and put the restaurant in a fancy neighborhood. Alas, the $38 taco. Fortunately for you, if the 2 tacos and soup don’t fill you up, rest assured that you can go to Jack In The Box and buy 29 more.

I’m not sure I follow. So you’re saying there are tacos that cost more than 2 for 99 cents? No way! Nope. Impossible. Borderline blasphemous. NO!

For serious! And the cheese better be laced with diamonds or something. Do they have prime rib burritos too?

@Tinmaker — that’s the most disgusting abuse of a digestive system I’ve ever heard

well good god I mean 38.50 for a taco? I’m as flabbergasted as hank. this is highway robbery. this is preposterous. this is ludicrous. but it would be in LA. just so the likes of lohan and spears can “get ghetto” by eating a taco but “not too ghetto” since it’s made with filet mignon.
why is it we have all the no-talent publicity-whoring celebutards here in LA? can’t new york have just a few?
this has become a rant. it’s time to go.
