Whether it’s Cinco de Mayo, Taco Tuesday, or lunchtime in the city, Mexican-American fast food and fast casual food have become a staple in our country. This map marks out every open location for 14 of the biggest Mexican chain eateries in the country. The warm and cool colors symbolize how much an eatery is considered “fast food” (warm) or “fast casual” (cool) it is. Want to highlight a certain brand or zoom into your hometown? That whole map is interactive, so you can change colors, remove brands to narrow down a specific one, and tinker to your heart’s content.
