UPDATED: How Much Are you Paying For Tacos?

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t like tacos—they’re universally loved. There’s Pizza Day and Cheeseburger Day, but those only come once a year. Tacos get their own day every week. That’s 52 taco days a year!

Tacos are served in brick-and-mortar restaurants, carts, trucks, and fly-by-night pop-up stands. But like most things, prices have gone up. Even in the past six months some places have increased as much a dollar per taco. The tacos vary greatly in cost too. We found the range to be $2.75 to a whopping $5.50 per taco. Though it should be said that some are larger than others.

We compared 21 top taco joints in VanPort. Take a look at what we found. You’ll probably be surprised. Keep an eye on this story. We’ll update it from time to time to so you’ll have the inside scoop on taco prices.
