New eatery on the way: Chipotle’s Mexican Restaurant coming to Harlingen

HARLINGEN — The restaurant which defines “fast-casual” dining is coming to Harlingen.

Chipotle’s Mexican Restaurants Inc. confirmed this week the company is renovating the old Discount Tire building on Dixieland Road near West Tyler Avenue to put in a Chipotle’s.

The restaurant should open this fall, said Danielle Moore, public relations and communications manager for the company. Like all Chipotle restaurants, the new Harlingen location will not be a franchise but will be corporate-owned.

The arrival of Chipotle’s is the latest news in the rapidly developing restaurant and retail world for Harlingen.

Last month, it was reported a Cheddar’s restaurant would locate in a development on Stuart Place Road. In the same development, locally owned Texas Regional Bank is planning to build a new headquarters.
