#9 Rising costs chipped away at the restaurant’s profitability, according to a report by Thrillist, driving down the profit margin from 8.5% in 2012 to 1.5% by 2015.

On Mother's day, younger son took us out to a very upscale "mexican" restaurant.
Wife got the tamale plate; the tamales averaged nine bucks a pop.
I kind you not. (Eight bucks for a Dos Equis.)
