Maybe the Tex-Mex food joints would improve, you always hear dodgy things about them even in this thread, is it really true though? Are they really nuclear on the digestive system?

Yeah I was going to say, it's hardly like eating at McDonalds or Taco Bell. Same goes for In-N-Out.

Apparently it costs Chipotle $900k to open a new restaurant. I have a feeling two or three years ago I might have been able to persuade a bank to lend me that kind of cash, but not anymore.

Well we would need some Mexicans to run it. So you could help there.
Pfft.  All the Mexican joints here in SoCal are owned by the Asians.  The workers, yes, are Mexican.

Taco King is three blocks away from me and is owned and staffed by Asians. Even the shape of the menu is identical to the one at the Chinese food place two doors down

The food is terrible.

Taco King or King Taco?  King Taco over here is awesome.

While I was in Northern Ireland last summer, we ordered delivery from a Thai place.  Ordered instore early for dinner delivery.  Definitely owned by Asians, but the delivery guy was Irish.  What a role reversal.

Taco King. Pretty sure it's not a chain. There's one French/Thai place around here that's pretty good but I've only eaten there once. My gf was sweating over her meal and I was asking for more heat in mine Hers wasn't spicy at all, she's just a wuss

Some things I can say about McDonalds in Asia and Europe.  The bathrooms are definitely cleaner than the ones here in the States.  And the service in Asian McDonalds are just great.  Sir and Ma'am galore.  You sometimes need a translator in SoCal.

Yeah, according to my brother-in-law, we managed to visit on that most rare of periods when the sun was out.  I'm told celebrations were abound and sacrifices/effigies were made.  When they visit us, saids wife spends most of the time poolside.

Yeah, Americans really don't know Mexican food until they've actually gone south of Tijuana.  Even just down to Ensenada, the idea of Mexican food completely changes.

my wifes uncle has a house down by San Jose del Cabo. the first time i went to Ensenada, i was asked to try a fish taco - i was 'wtf?' and now i can't eat them here. and i found out what real chili verde is like. . .

as far as exporting, i think the business model travels well, just the selection is left to be desired.

They had wendys here about 10 years ago, it failed as a business so exited the UK market.  It's now KFC.
