Restaurant menu prices in Cancun have increased by 5% to 18% in recent months due to the high season, which spans the last months of the year. This trend is expected to continue, with costs potentially rising further during festive dates and other factors, making dining out less affordable.
Reasons for Price Hikes
The primary reason for the price increases is the rising cost of food products, such as meat, fruits, and vegetables, which have gone up by 5% due to inflation. Additionally, the import costs that restaurants must pay to obtain these products and prepare meals contribute to the price hikes.
Impact on Menus
As a result, some restaurants have already adjusted or will need to adjust the prices of dishes and drinks on their menus, leading to higher costs for customers.
