Taco Bell’s inability to gain traction in Mexico was chalked up to pricing issues and a perceived lack of authenticity, including menu items that didn’t translate especially well.

Over-priced gunk.

Is Chipotle popular with illegals? Following its customer base back?

Pricey ‘putting on airs’ Mexican food, being sold in Mexico? Yeah, good luck with that idea.

They think they are going to sell $8 burritos in Mexico? Call me very skeptical.

Wait. A meat flavored paste smeared into a stale pre-formed tortilla shell that comes out of a box is not authentic Mexican food?

I’m amazed that the ones in New Mexico do the business they do. So many small family restaurants here.

I wonder if the digestive distress experienced by their Mexican customers will be referred to as “Bowie’s Revenge”?

Well now their employees won’t have to be illegal.

The idea of a Taco Bell in Mexico does seem funny. Did they run the Chihuahua commercials?

Chipotle failed in Pocatello. Lousy food with cleanliness problems. There are plenty of places to get fast Mexican food locally. Chains..Taco Bell, dog food tacos at Jack-in-the-Box, Costa Vida, Taco Time, Cafe Rio. Locally owned sit-down: Tres Hermanos, Chapala, Las Penitas, Cielito Lindo, El Caporal, Mama Inez, El Herradero, Senor Garcia's Puerto Vallarta. Our Garcia's was forced out by a high bidder for rent. It is now a Korean Hot Pot place. Garcia's is still avaiable in Idaho Falls. Suffice to say, there is no problem finding Mexican food in Pocatello. I know I've missed quite a few. We don't miss Chipotle.

They're crazy. I wouldn't want to have to compete with Los Pollos Hermanos. That deal could get really, really nasty.

They should smuggle escaped, US prisoners to MX and use them for cheap labor.

Just read an article on how Chipotle is one of 3 filthiest worst fast food chains. Burger King was another, I forget the third
