<i>&gt; It appears that SoCal prefers tacos (LA and San Diego), while NorCal prefers burritos (San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose).</i><p>In the feud between North and South, there is a dividing taco&#x2F;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&#x27;s somewhere around San Luis Obispo.<p>It&#x27;s about time we put into this the kind of resources a very important topic like this deserves.

This lost all credibility when it placed Santa Monica, California in the Top 5 Most Authentic Mexican Restaurants Per Capita list.<p>Just about every Mexican brick-and-mortar restaurant I go to in Los Angeles has a burrito option, but not always tacos.<p>What a weird methodology.

It 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&#x27;t even offer them.

This is cool.<p>However, it only shows availability of options, not popularity&#x2F;consumption numbers. So from this data, it&#x27;s impossible say whether tacos or burritos take the crown.<p>Even though burritos are the clearly superior option.

Can&#x27;t we all just get along? I like tacos and burritos.

I love the effort and thought put into this, even though I knew Taco&#x27;s would take the crown.
