In a pub for dinner. Regular suburban Dublin pub. That’s right. 29 quid for fajitas. It’s just so wrong. Puts me off going out and supporting local businesses.

Old El Paso and a can next time I reckon.
30 nicker for fajitas is an absolute pisstake.
That’s simply outrageous. Where is this place?
r/Dublin
That is not a normal price in the rest of the country.
At least you’re checking the prices beforehand unlike some people who post on here
And garlic bread with mozzarella €8 wtf 😂😂😂😂
Massive mark up there. A proper Mexican food restaurant would clean up in Ireland. I think I will open one.
Went to a pub in my hometown recently, midsized town. €20 for a burger and a few chips. €38 for a steak.
Complete robbery.
Crazy that a meal that takes 20 minutes to prepare and dish up is worth the same as a Chefs hourly wage in some cases
Street food is superior to restaurant in Ireland
There are people working out of vans dishing out more authentic and fresher meals for €12
Same menu appears to charge €12 to add chicken to a Caesar salad??
served with extra spicy inflation puffs
People should just NOT PAY those kind of prices
Name and shame please
Is there some kind of law making OPs go through the effort of hiding a places name in these kinds of posts?
Name and shame em
I paid €5.10 for a takeaway coffee yesterday in Dublin. I thought it was a mistake or something but nope.
(Pint of Corona not included)
Half the time they don’t even bother making them either, just send you a plate of sizzling meat an veg, a tray of condiments and a pile of uncooked tortillas on the side. Not a patch on El Grito. Personally I’d just leave and go to the nearest chipper or Chinese
I went to the only cafe in my village yesterday, its recently opened so we said we’d support it. Any time we’ve gone we’re either the only people there or one or two others, yesterday was the same.
We got a full Irish each, 8.50 or 9 euro. For that we got a pot of tea to share (would have gotten the same size pot if it was just one of us), two slices of toast each, one egg, one rasher, one sausage and one tomato.
Obviously I read the menu but didn’t realise we’d only get one of each item!
I want to try and support local but for feck sake lads.
Don’t go , eating out is overrated I’d much rather a home cooked meal with friends then going out , sadly my friends all disagree
I’m based using the UK and travel all around Europe. Dublin is up there with the most expensive cities and the quality doesn’t match the price.
Brought the 3 kids (not really kids anymore) for the sons 19th birthday and the match, 4 of us I wasn’t drinking the 3 others were roughly 3 drinks each 150 for food and said drinks.
What’s 2/7/14?
Also who drinks a pint of corona ?
Aldi mexican spice sachets are amazing.
you literally only need a little bit, plus cumin, lime, garlic and chillies. I can’t understand why anyone would pay silly money for what is essentially one of the easiest cuisines to recreate in under 30 minutes, at home.
support local businesses, like farmers who supply supermarkets! buy the best quality chicken you can afford, locally. if you’re vegetarian, buy good quality veg, locally. if I really want to support local businesses, I buy a book in my local book shop, and a coffee too! 🙂
​
(PS: you can now also get the real authentic mexican sauces – Cholula – in SuperValu, Centra, etc – literally NO excuse to support a premium mediocrity restaurant, just coz it’s “local business” – also, the last time I spent this kind of money for exotic food outside, I was very sick with food poisoning).
Name and shame. Let people avoid the place, it’s a public service
Who has a pint of Corona?
Haven’t eaten out in a couple of months for this reason, learned how to cook some new things myself, pickled my own onions, upped my sauce game with homemade sauces. Me and my other broke friends meet up cook for each other. Half the time the food is just as good if not better and we aren’t spending an absolute fortune just to meet up for dinner. Won’t be eating in a restaurant again until the prices come down, can’t justify it when my bills are so high and my wages are going nowhere
Not saying this price is ok at all . But coming from the other side of counter. The industry is on its knees. Between rent , utility and food prices two brake even is next two in impossible with out charging crazy prices. Neve mind that sine covid the industry it self has lost at leat 30% of it work force. Down two it been one of frist close and staff been laid off or finding new job. Anyone worth keeping in kitchen these day wants a fair wage so wage cost are going through the roof .
😯 that’s $47AUD I’d be FUMING if I saw a couple of poxy little fajitas for that much
At that price they should at least include the Corona…
They don’t call it rip off Ireland for nothing
Just to add. It wasn’t a sharing option.
In Ireland you rarely get anything better in a restaurant than what you could cook at home.
I’ve been a chef for 12 years. Worked in a lot of busy restaurants and was head chef of 3. If you have to pay more than 10 euro for anything other than lobster, king crab or filet steak, you are wasting your own money. I worked in one place that charged 20 euro for a burger that I could have made 8 of for the the same price and ingredients at home.
