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...

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.

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.

Yeah if the ingredients and labour are cheaper for locals then they're cheaper for Chipotle too

My chipotle is under 10 bucks ($8.75) for a chicken burrito, got to ask where are you at?

$17.50 in Canada.

A Panda Express in china would be hilarious.

Culinary equivalent of a weird American funhouse mirror held up to traditional Chinese food

I don't see this going well for them.

What have the Mexicans done to deserve this?

Americans ate Mexican food, shat it out into a cardboard bowl, and are now selling it back to actual Mexicans. Sounds legit 👍

Hey I can see a use case for this
As an European, I could take a trip to Mexico, try Chipotle, then try local food and I'll know exactly how much better authentic Mexican food is
