Obviously a 25k taco for the OT is a snack

Mexico City (AFP) - Shrimp, caviar, truffle and gold flakes aren't standard ingredients in Mexico's popular tacos. But chef Juan Licerio Alcala uses them to create the world's most expensive taco at $25,000.

No one has ordered one. Yet.

The handheld dish made of a corn or wheat tortilla folded around a filling is low-cost fare in Mexico.

Licerio, the chef at the Grand Velas Los Cabos Resort, a luxury vacation destination in Baja California, told AFP he decided to think outside the box.


quote:

Ordering the world's most expensive taco has its own particular method. First, a customer has to put down a $12,500 deposit and already be staying in the presidential suite.

The dish is presented in the middle of the desert encircled by motorcycles, or during a marriage proposal.

"We can adjust to the guest," Licerio said.

If money is no object, the chef has just the tipple to complement the taco: the luxury tequila Pasion Azteca, at $150,000 a bottle.

Strange take on Trump forcing them to pay for the wall.

If you're buying a $25k taco, I'm pretty fricking sure money is no object at that point.

caviar russe in miami has a baked potato with caviar and black truffle on the menu for like $75 I remember. This sounds a bit ridiculous at $25k

Gold flakes will really bling up that 4am Montezuma's Revenge.

I'm trying to think how much money I'd have to have for me to justify the cost of a $25,000 taco.

Is it just one? If so frick that I'd need at least a 3 plate to consider it. If I'm spending that much I at least expect to be full after

It was ok but the motorcycles kicked up too much sand when they were circling.
