I think it markets to our perception of Mexican food. And I know Mexican people who enjoy Chipotle. But I would be surprised to learn if it is truly traditional Mexican food.

    Burritos in particular is in a super gray area because burritos were popular in the southern states and northern mexico. After the war of 1848, all mexicans in whats now currently U.S land was given U.S citizenship, so burritos slowly changed based on their region like any other dish does.
