The Grand Velas Los Cabos resort, located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, is offering up what it’s billing as the “world’s most expensive taco” for mucho pesos.

Available at the resort’s restaurant, Frida, for a mere $25,000, guests can feast on the mini-masterpiece, which consists of langoustine, Kobe beef, Almas Beluga caviar, and black truffle brie cheese; topped with a salsa of dried Morita chili peppers, Ley.925 ultra-premium añejo tequila, and civet coffee. All of this is delicately placed into a gold flake–infused tortilla shell.

For guests who want to decisively up the ante, they can order a hand-crafted white gold and pure platinum bottle of Ley .925 Pasión Azteca Ultra Premium Añejo for an additional $150,000. (A representative of the resort told RealClearLife that the customer does get to keep the bottle.)

The $175,000 meal is the brainchild of the resort’s executive chef, Juan Licerio Alcala. Frida is open daily from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and reservations are required.

To get there, of course, it would helpful to have a reservation at the resort itself. Double-occupancy room rates begin at $750/night. Reserve a room here.
