RE: How Much Food Does $5 Buy in Mexico?
How fun! I watched a video the other day where you both tried eating for the day on $10 and I thought that would be difficult but $5?! I was surprised that you were able to eat for the day on $5USD but it was fun watching the challenge. I love street food! I wish we had more street food in the US but don't. sad face
Have tons of fun!

I don't know if we would've been able to eat all day on $2.50 each, but we were able to go out and get a substantial amount of food for $5 between the two of us.
The closest thing we had to street food in Phoenix were food trucks. It's just too darn expensive and time consuming to jump through all the legal hoops in the US. Unlike Mexico, you can face massive fines if you go out on the street selling fruit without all the right permits.
Having so many street food options is such a treat!
We have food trucks here too and some local produce vendors but there is so much competition between them for parking spaces because there are only so many spaces available for them to park downtown where they would get the most business. There are so many rules for serving food that it just gets crazy.
Have fun!
That sounds pretty similar to Phoenix.
