Tacos and burritos are delicious, obviously!!!
We used this list of ~19,000 restaurants that serve tacos and/or burritos, available on Kaggle.
We try to answer the broad question "where are the authentic Mexican restaurants in the U.S."?
Coding in Python, using jupyter notebooks, and on the backs of pandas and plotly.
Data cleaning took way longer than expected! For example, every location metric was incomplete in some way (missing values, inconsistent implementation, etc.).
Also, there were at least FOUR different ways to refer to "McDonald's" and "Sonic" in the dataset!
Learned how to use geopy (even though we ended up not using it), and got much more familiar with plotly!
Clean up the code a little bit, make a visualization of all the authentic tacos/burritos in the U.S. using something like seaborn.kdeplot, and put it up on Github!
