fancy restaurants will cost you $300+.

anything above a dive bar will cost you that much. i live here dozens of restaurants. everything is 15+ for an appetizer now. entrees and 25-30+

nobody is going to taco trucks at 8pm on a Friday night for a date. Here taco trucks are a lunch option and they charge you 8 dollars a taco.

Sounds like you've got a lot of shitty restaurants around you, sorry about that. I bring my family to this really good sushi restaurant for special occasions and never walk out spending more than $100 for an amazing meal. I recently went on a date to a downtown restaurant with $6 beers, $12 cocktails, and $10 ceviche. All these are local spots of course, you're paying a corporate profit premium if you're going to chain restaurants
