**MEXICAN RESTAURANT CHAIN BAILS ON U.S. LIKE ME AT A FAMILY REUNION**

*AITA for laughing?* 🇲🇽🚩

In a move that has absolutely *no* political implications (wink-wink), the beloved Mexican chain "Taqueria el Fuego" has announced it's pulling up stakes in the U.S. and heading back south. Said CEO Juan "No Tipping Required" Ramirez: "We realized our carne asada is too authentic for a country that can't decide if salsa is spicy or a crime."

TL;DR: The restaurant cited "inflation, hostile labor laws, and a crippling lack of respect for molcajetes" for the exodus. But fans on Xitter are speculating it's because they can't afford the new "avocado tariffs" or the $18 minimum wage for their dishwashers.

**Viral reaction:** "First they ghost us, now they ghost our burritos. Classic." - u/SpicyMayoDerivative

**Bottom line:** The only thing hitting the border faster than their customers is their supply chain. Burn? Or burrito? 🔥🌯
