Summary
Thursday’s opening in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, marks Chipotle’s first restaurant in Mexico and the start of a broader rollout with partner Alsea.
Mexico is part of Chipotle’s push to revive growth after a stagnant year, with international expansion and new menu offerings supporting plans to add 350 to 370 restaurants in 2026.
Monterrey was chosen for its strong economy, growing population and business-hub status, and the new outlet will serve the same menu as U.S. locations.
Mexico City is next on the expansion map for 2027 under the development agreement signed with Alsea last year, as Chipotle builds on a global base of more than 4,100 stores.
