Chipotle Mexican Grill announced it will open its first restaurant in Mexico by early 2026, partnering with restaurant operator Alsea.

The country’s familiarity with our ingredients and affinity for fresh food make it an attractive growth market," a Chipotle official said.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is expanding internationally with a location in Mexico that is set to open early next year, it said on Monday, bringing its tacos and burritos to the region for the first time.
