Chipotle Mexican Grill is going to Mexico.

The California-based chain said this week that it’s planning to open a restaurant in Mexico in 2026, its first location south of the border in its nearly 32-year history.

Chipotle is partnering with Alsea, a company that operates Domino’s, Starbucks, Burger King, Chili’s and other brands in South America and Europe.

In a statement, the company said it is confident that its menu will resonate with diners in Mexico. But at least one U.S.-based Mexican food chain has struggled to make it in Mexico. Taco Bell opened outlets in Mexico City in 1992 but closed within two years. The brand opened a store in Monterrey in 2007, but it also didn’t last.

Chipotle was founded in July 1993 in Denver. — Associated Press
