Taco Bell
While Taco Bell is Mexican-inspired, it really isn’t the best representation of authentic Mexican cuisine. They’ve decided to try an international expansion outside of the United States. However, this turned out to be really pricey. In 2019, the chain closed down branches in Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and multiple branches in Maine as well.

Pollo Tropical
A Southern Florida favorite, Pollo Tropical’s Caribbean cooking has been a massive hit. The company started expanding to other populations like Cubans, Venezuelans, and Haitians, but the company wasn’t able to pull it off. It aimed to open a branch or two in Texas but never got there. In 2019, the chain suffered serious financial losses and closed down 23 branches.
