Tacos vs. Burritos Index: The Great Divide in Mexican-American Cuisine
- adrianmonk 9y agoIt would have been interesting to see enchiladas in this analysis. They are almost the default option in Texas, but in California (northern, at least) many restaurants don't even offer them.
- nickthemagicman 9y agoI love the effort and thought put into this, even though I knew Taco's would take the crown.
- bovermyer 9y agoThis is cool. However, it only shows availability of options, not popularity/consumption numbers. So from this data, it's impossible say whether tacos or burritos take the crown. Even though burritos are the clearly superior option.

- fragmede 9y ago> It appears that SoCal prefers tacos (LA and San Diego), while NorCal prefers burritos (San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose). In the feud between North and South, there is a dividing taco/burrito line. North of which, the burritos are better, and south of which, Tacos are the thing to get. No one can agree where that line is, although most can agree it's somewhere around San Luis Obispo. It's about time we put into this the kind of resources a very important topic like this deserves.
- kafkaesque 9y agoThis lost all credibility when it placed Santa Monica, California in the Top 5 Most Authentic Mexican Restaurants Per Capita list. Just about every Mexican brick-and-mortar restaurant I go to in Los Angeles has a burrito option, but not always tacos. What a weird methodology.
- socalnate1 9y agoYea, this data set is all wrong. I think they might be missing a bunch of the little hole in the wall restaurants.
- adrianmonk 9y agoI'm skeptical there are only 104 non-chain Mexican restaurants in Dallas. There's basically one in every shopping center.
- apercu 9y agoCan't we all just get along? I like tacos and burritos.
