What were these retards thinking. It's lucky enough they succeeded in Australia in a sector where bigger names had already tried and failed, why would you go to the US and try to import Australian Mexican in the place where Mexicans come from.

Jollibee managed to export bizarro American fastfood back to America

>>22031662
Well Jollibee is at least distinctively different from the American ones rather than a shitty knockoff

gyg used to have the best vegetarian option but they replaced it with some spicy vegetable mix and then I stopped going. I don't get why people still go there after their recent shrinkflation (talking about Aus branch).

>have to remortgage my house just to buy a guzman burrito
good riddance

>she doesn't negative great her burrito

Aussies are extremely arrogant retards.

A more expensive version of chipotle, whose portions might even be smaller. I'm not even a fan of chipotle's prices anymore either

Jollibee has the advantage of the filipino diaspora constantly talking it up and acting like it's hot shit, like it's their national pride.
Mexicans don't do that shit to any mexican food restaurant, for them it's just overpriced home cooking, mexican restaurants are for white people.

>yeh nah m8, lemme show you American cunts how a burrito is made
Lmaooo

Plus there's tons of Juan & Papi Mexican restaurants run by local families. Mexican chains exist but generally people prefer the local places. And no Mexican is going to be interested in an Australian take on Mexican food. At least with Tex-Mex, it's often something Mexicans came up with.

The founders are American expats, dumb cunts.

The company was started by two New York Jews. "Guzman" and "Gomez" do not exist any more than Ronald McDonald, they're racially-stereotyped mascots.

>>22031662
Jollibee has a funny name and a cute logo.

"Guzman y Gomez" sounds like a Mexican law firm, and the logo is too ugly old spics. Who could have possibly foreseen its failure?

>>22032208
And you fell for it

Your disdain only makes us stronger

This is really an economic issue.

US doesn't have VAT so the cost of the sloppest products is laughably low, and the US doesn't have super profit laws so businesses can minimise tax by profit shifting along monopoly supply chains. Hence America is the continent of franchises. Australia's minimum wage is 16.50US/h with cooks getting 26USD/h and this really changes how food businesses work. In Australia it's really all about buying in fresh produce and minimal processing, where in the US it's really just a race to see who can process the slop the most times before it becomes inedible.

They might be if it does something different. They like Americanized Mexican food, they just consider it American food and not Mexican. Their menu doesn't really seem to be doing much differently from what's already here though, and it wasn't cheap.

jollybee is unironically based. pagpag is disgust though. flippers were better copying amurikana foods.

We just had a thread about these idiots a few weeks ago. I'd literally driven past one the evening before I saw the thread. I looked it up at the time and there were three whole locations in the entire U.S., and there just happens to be one near another restaurant I like.

I don't know what the fuck they were thinking. The U.S. is a competitive market for restaurants in general, and especially for Mexican food. Even my shitty outlying suburb has at least four Mexican chains within a mile of my apartment, all of which are run by Mexican invaders, and one of which is almost certainly a cartel money laundering operation.

In Australia? I didn't know they had New York Jews in Australia.
