How much more inflation can restaurants in Puerto Vallarta take?

Inflation has hit Puerto Vallarta's restaurant sector hard, because the constant increase in prices of supplies has forced restaurateurs to maintain their prices, without lowering the quality of their products, a fact that has affected the economy of the restaurant sector.

"The impact is great because the whole issue of inflation directly affects the cost," said Jorge Carvajal, president of Canirac in this city.

In such a way - added the restaurant leader - everyone is managing their costs so as not to have to increase prices and have a market overprice in our restaurants.
