Inflation is hitting food trucks hard, raising prices for L.A.'s 'cheap eats.'
With record-high gas prices impacting every area of his business, every day is a challenge to stay open for Jesus Valencia. Valencia, the owner of Samurai Hibachi Grill, said he opened in downtown Los Angeles last year because of his passion for good food. But with inflation driving the cost of gas higher and higher, the price to operate his beloved food truck may cause him to drive away from the business.
Before gas prices spiked, Valencia said he paid about $140 to fill up his food truck — now, he says it's close to $200. But even as his truck and generator continue to guzzle up gas, Valencia said that most of the pain is coming from rising food costs. On average, Valencia pays $20 per pound for meat since he uses high-end cuts like filet mignon and prime rib.
