Selling Burritos Back to Mexico: Chipotle’s Bold Expansion

Mexicans may be hesitant to pay for a foreign interpretation of their own national cuisine, which could impact Chipotle's success in the market. Chipotle's expansion into Mexico will test the appeal of its brand and menu items in a new and potentially skeptical market.
