I figure something like that might be worth about the same as a
hamburger. Beans and rice are cheap. Mexian food prices here are
outrageous, and you get a small amount of food made from relatively
inexpensive ingredients. It may be different with "upscale" Mexican
food, but that is not an option here. Based on my experience, I am about
to go out for that. Maybe this summer when I go to California.
