Scott Boatwright, CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill, stated in a July 2026 interview that the company plans to open its first location in Mexico, beginning in Monterrey and expanding to Mexico City by 2027. He described Mexico as "a really important milestone" for the brand's global strategy and said the company aims to use the same menu as in the United States, locally sourcing ingredients such as avocados, tomatoes, and peppers. Boatwright expressed confidence that Chipotle's model of fresh, made-to-order food at a competitive price point would "resonate well with the consumers in the market." Regarding a recent cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to produce in the U.S., Boatwright said the company had reviewed its supply chain and found no indication that any of its ingredients were involved, adding that Chipotle would continue to monitor the situation. He also noted that Chipotle plans to open over 350 new restaurants in North America in 2026, asserting that the company has a "really good foothold" in the region and understands how to deliver on consumer expectations.
