A $25,000 Taco Includes a Gold-Infused Tortilla and a Salsa Made From Beans Pooped Out by a Cat

As far as I’m concerned, there’s no reason to ever pay more than a buck for a taco.  So I CERTAINLY won’t be spending 25,000 times more than that.

A restaurant at the Grand Velas Los Cabos resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico just added a taco to their menu that costs $25,000.  So what makes it that expensive?

1. A corn tortilla infused with gold flakes.

2. Kobe beef, rare Norwegian lobster, and caviar.

3. Black truffle brie cheese.

4. A salsa made out of chili peppers, expensive tequila, and civet coffee beans . . . which are coffee beans that are POOPED OUT by a little cat called a civet.

5. And gold leaves on top.

Even with all those fancy ingredients, I still feel like they’re making GREAT margins on this thing.
