After eating approximately my body weight in tacos across Cancún, here's what you should actually pay 🌮

Street Carts (Best Value):

Tacos al pastor: 12-18 pesos each

Carnitas: 15-20 pesos each

Pollo: 10-15 pesos each

Sit-down Local Establishments:

Any taco: 20-35 pesos each

Tortas: 40-60 pesos

Quesadillas: 45-70 pesos

Tourist Areas (Hotel Zone):

Identical tacos: 80-150 pesos each

Warning signs: English menus, food photography, servers with perfect English. If they're actively trying to seat you from the street, expect 5x local pricing.

Strategy: handwritten Spanish menus and plastic chairs. The less Instagram-worthy, the better it tastes and the less you pay.
