Like dominos opening in Italy
What have the Mexicans done to deserve this?
Not enough diarrhea explosivo.
Sometimes chinese people eat at 'chinese for americans' type restaurants, but I would be surprised to hear if there are any successful ones in china. Maybe tourist areas? Still seems like a poor choice.
The time to open a 'french' bakery in france is now...
A Panda Express in china would be hilarious.
This is gonna go about as well as Taco Bell's attempts.
Or Domino's in Italy
Mexicans already scoff at tacos that cost like $6.
They will not purchase $20 burritos
I don't know how cheap Mexico is relative to America, but given cost of living differences I doubt they'll be selling $20 burritos.
My chipotle is under 10 bucks ($8.75) for a chicken burrito, got to ask where are you at?
$17.50 in Canada.
Dang that a lot for a mid burrito!
Now they'll finally know what REAL Mexican cuisine tastes like!
To be fair, it could be sold as Tex-Mex. I don't know if it would work, but theoretically it could.
Tex-Mex can be massively divergent from Mexican food, but at least occasionally it's not crap. So nothing like Chipotle.
...are they stupid?
I don't see this going well for them.
Americans ate Mexican food, shat it out into a cardboard bowl, and are now selling it back to actual Mexicans. Sounds legit 👍
