A resident of Santiago showed a private venue in the city, claiming that for only 5,000 pesos a couple can enjoy a meal.
The TikTok profile Jesús de Cuba (@jesusdecuba) shared a video showing a restaurant, and when asking a person about the prices, they were informed that with 5,000 pesos a couple can eat at Conta’s Empanadas Restaurante Sportbar.
"With 5,000, you can get something basic," said the local doorman, who emphasized that that money is enough for "a beer, a juice, a pastry."
Additionally, he mentioned a restaurant offer that includes two pizzas with chorizo, ham, gouda cheese, and tomato sauce for 1,900 pesos.
Finally, the author of the publication pointed out that the place is not accessible for those who rely solely on their salary.
Inflation in Cuba has made accessing any store a true luxury. This situation is also repeated when buying any food.
Recently, a Cuban showed on social media how she spent about 5,000 pesos in just minutes on a few grocery items, the equivalent of a professional's salary.
Anita Mateu (@anita.mateu) showed on TikTok the evidence of inflation in Cuba, with a message that leaves little room for further explanation: “The sad reality of my country.”
In Cuba, people not only spend large sums of money on food. When there is something left from the meager monthly salary, the situation with other products is equally discouraging: skyrocketing prices.
In March, during the 32nd International Book Fair, the cultural event once again left the bitter taste of high text prices when a single copy cost the equivalent of a monthly salary.
The communicator Yosmany Mayeta published the message of indignation from a mother who, while taking her son to the stands of the literary event, preferred not to buy any copies due to the high prices.
"This message is just to tell you that these are the prices per unit for the Children's Book Fair. That the salary of one month for us, the parents, is approximately what a book costs," the woman reported.
