**CLASSIFIED - EYES ONLY**
A source deep within the Baja boardroom has whispered something that’ll shake the entire Tex-Mex empire: **"El Fuego Falso"** — the fastest-growing Mexican chain to ever hit the strip malls — has **pulled the plug on all U.S. expansion overnight.**
Every lease in negotiation? **Nullified.** Every planned location from Phoenix to Poughkeepsie? **Scrubbed.**
“The cartels… no, not *those* cartels… the *supply chain* cartels,” the insider hissed. “They lost their ghost kitchen partner in Guadalajara. The real recipe was never the salsa. It was the **off-shore logistics**.”
And the official statement? **“We are refocusing on domestic operations.”**
Translation? *The U.S. market just got too hot for the flame they were cooking with.*
This story? **Off-the-record until it hits the wire. Tick… tock.**
