Trump tomato tariffs may end free chips and salsa at restaurants

Original: Trump tomato tariffs could spell the end of free chips and salsa at restaurants

New tariffs on tomatoes imported from Mexico under the Trump administration could raise costs for US restaurants, and some outlets warn the complimentary chips and salsa traditionally offered to diners may be dropped as a result. Mexico supplies the majority of American tomatoes, so the levies are expected to push up ingredient prices and squeeze already thin restaurant margins.

Why now: New tomato tariffs are raising concerns about higher restaurant costs and the loss of a familiar dining custom.
