Even if you haven’t been to the US, chances are you have heard of legendary fast-food chain Chipotle. Well, you soon won’t have to travel to the other side of the world to try it, for the chain will open its first Singapore outlet in 2026

This will be the brand’s first-ever debut in Asia, and is part of a joint venture with SPC Group from South Korea, which brought in other famous international brands such as Shake Shack, Paris Baguette, and Eggslut.

For the uninitiated, Chipotle is a fast-casual Mexican chain known for their customisable burritos, tacos, and rice bowls. It began in 1993 as a lone restaurant in Denver, and has since expanded to include more than 3,800 outlets across the world. 

Their menu is slated to be identical to those in the US and internationally. You can expect endless customisability with their build-your-own-meal concept, where they use fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients.

You can get fully-stuffed Burritos as well as loaded Burrito Bowls, or if you like your meal light on carbs, you can choose to get their Salads, as well as their Tacos

All their meats are responsibly raised, which include Chicken, Pork Carnitas, Steak, and Barbacoa (braised beef). They even have plant-based options, including the Sofritas, a plant-based protein, and Veggie, which is comprised of guacamole and beans.

Chipotle’s Asian expansion follows its recent strategy to enter international markets such as Latin America and the Middle East. The brand will also open its first outlet in Mexico in 2026, and plans to grow its US outlet count to 7,000 in the long term. 

Chipotle will face stiff competition from existing fast-casual Mexican chains in Singapore, such as Australian-born Guzman Y Gomez, and homegrown brand Stuff’d. We’ll update this article once we get more information!
