"Don't get me wrong; there's plenty of room for "decent Mexican places," but if too many of them open, then they might all end up with not enough customers to survive. Limiting the number of restaurants means that there will be enough customers for most of them."

Too bad. That's not the business of government, its the effect of market. They may all go out of business if people stop liking Mexican. Government shouldn't be picking winners that's the people's business.
