Taste test. 
>> The hottest new restaurant in Mexico is Chipotle. 
You heard that right. 
The burrito bowl giant is serving up its Americanized version of Mexican cuisine in the country that inspired it, and almost immediately >> Did you guys hear that Chipotle is opening up a restaurant in Mexico? 
>> The commentary has been anything but mild. 
>> Why are people so up in arms about Chipotle opening up in Mexico? 
>> Ahead of the official opening, local food content creators like Caro Zamora got an early taste. 
>> It was amazing. 
Chipotle has finally arrived in Mexico. 
>> not the first American fast food chain to test local tastes. 
Taco Bell famously struggled to win over Mexican diners before its last location shut down in the early 2000s. 
Overseas, Domino's exited Italy in 2022 after Italians said, "No gracias" to their pizzas. 
>> It's like Panda Express opening up in a Cantonese province. 
>> Mexican-American chef Claudette Zepeda understands the skepticism, but says Chipotle may prove to be the exception. 
>> Can you call it Mexican food? 
>> I wouldn't. I would call it American Mexican food or Mexican-American food. 
>> Zepeda says it's an important distinction which could make it easier for Mexican customers to embrace. 
>> I think as long as they keep their ethos of using really good ingredients, cooking everything from scratch, I think it'll do actually really well. 
>> Chipotle said it chose its location in Monterrey because of its strong economy, growing population, and status as one of the country's leading business and innovation hubs. 
Still, social media appears to be split. 
>> The reception has been divided. A lot of people are saying they want to try it, and some others are selling are telling that I I don't like that. 
>> Only time will tell though if Chipotle becomes a permanent craving or just a culinary curiosity. 
>> George Lee joins us now with a burrito in hand. 
He's got that great company expense account. 
So, George, we know if the ingredients and menu in this new Mexican Chipotle will be any different than the US locations? 
I mean, you know, they are in Mexico. 
>> Well Tom, we didn't have to go south of the border for this because it's going to be the same menu, the same ingredients. 
But get this, the company telling Reuters they plan on opening six to eight new restaurants within the next year and a half. 
It's actually cheaper on the wallet too. 
Right now, a bowl in Mexico about 15 to 20% cheaper than here in the US. 
So it's really food for thought or in this case some food to mouth. 
>> Okay. 
>> Smells good, Tom. 
>> George still leaves with the burrito bowl. 
I was hoping for a burrito, but I know we're I know we're we're trying to be healthy here. 
Uh hope there's not too much lettuce in there. 
I know it's Taco Bell, but still be careful. All right, George. Thank you.
