Most Expensive Taco. It might not surprise you that the best tacos can be found in Mexico. But what about the most expensive tacos? Just last week, a restaurant in the Riviera Maya served up the world’s most expensive taco for a whopping US $25,000.
Chef Juan Licerio is the master creator behind this pricy taco. Even though delicious street tacos can be purchased for US $1, he feels his $25,000 taco is worth the high price tag. Mainly because of the ‘tenderness, the technique and the harmony’ of this taco.
Not to mention, the ingredients are costly. This taco incorporates kobe beef, black truffle, brie cheese, beluga caviar, white truffles and lobster. All of these ingredients are wrapped up in a corn tortilla that’s been mixed with 24-carat, edible gold leaves.
This wasn’t chef Licerio’s first time preparing tacos of this caliber. Over the last two years he made $25,000 tacos in Los Cabos, at the Grand Vela Resort, where he was head chef.
He has since moved to the El Dorado Royal hotel on the Riviera Maya. And that’s where he sold his high end tacos to registered guests. Most Expensive Taco
