SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Shoppers could soon quickly see higher prices for produce and beef in the stores. Due to newly announced tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China from President Trump. Restaurants in the Bay Area like Tacolicious in San Francisco are ready to make adjustments to their menus.
The taco-inspired restaurant announced their changes in a letter to their customers, further stating that they will be remixing items, including guacamole.
“The price has to change a little bit due to the tariffs,” said Jerome Dees of Tacolicious.
With three locations in the Bay Area, the San Francisco shop isn’t the only one having to pivot its menu items.
“It’s hard to operate a restaurant if you can’t use cooking oil,” said Amy Cleary with the Golden Gate Restaurant Association. “They may look at alternate sources from where they were getting them before.”
According to experts, these 10 food items will soon cost more.
- Avocados
- Strawberries
- Peppers
- Nuts
- Beer
- Cooking oil
- Seafood
- Maple syrup
- Butter
- Beef
“This is going to impact every restaurant,” Cleary said.
With the growing concern of these trade wars, restaurants and business owners say all they can do is just brace for the impact.
“There were more easily substitutable items here in the Bay Area, unfortunately,” Dees said. “With the exception of a couple of price tweaks, we’ve been lucky to keep the menu basically the same.”
