Popular Mexican dining chain files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The popular Mexican restaurant chain files for bankruptcy, seeking to sell its assets.

The most popular Mexican restaurant chain in the U.S. is by far Taco Bell, with over 8,000 restaurant locations, followed by Chipotle with over 3,600 locations, according to ScrapeHero.
It's no wonder that the Mexican restaurant sector is among the most dominant in the U.S., with 1 in 10 restaurants serving the cuisine and 99% of the U.S. population living in a county with a Mexican dining establishment, according to Pew Research Center data from 2024.
