dianefrank+FollowTomato prices squeeze Cleveland kitchensCleveland’s favorite dishes—think pizza, pasta, and salsa—might soon cost a bit more. A new 17% federal tariff on Mexican tomatoes is already driving up prices for local restaurants, with some owners paying $5 more per case than just a few months ago. For spots like Scotti’s Italian Eatery and Cilantro Taqueria, tomatoes are in nearly everything, so they’re making tough choices: cutting extras like fresh flowers or absorbing costs to avoid raising menu prices. With 70% of U.S. tomatoes coming from Mexico, this change could stick around. How would you feel if your go-to meal got pricier? #Food #ClevelandEats #TomatoTariff00Share
