Methodology

Stars per dollar: A spot's average rating divided by the price of three tacos, which is what the table ranks by. Prices vary far more than ratings do, so the number mostly follows price: a cheap spot with an ordinary rating outranks a dear one with a great rating.
Chart: Each dot is a spot, placed by its rating along the bottom and the price of three tacos down the side, both on linear scales. The price axis is upside down, with the cheapest at the top, so that up and right are both better and the best value is at the top right: a high rating for a low price. The axes run between the price and rating filters, so narrowing one zooms the chart in.
Reviews: The review figure as the source publishes it, an average per site. It is a rough guide to how much evidence sits behind a rating, not a total count, and the minimum leaves out the thinly reviewed spots.
Lines: The dashed lines mark the median rating and the median price of the spots the filters leave, or the arithmetic mean of each when switched.
Data: These numbers were published in March 2022 and have not been updated since. Prices and ratings will have changed, and some spots may have closed. They are a placeholder that our own collection will replace.
Credit: The data was gathered by Rajesh Niti and published as the Tableau Public workbook Los Angeles Taco Spots Comparative Analysis. According to L.A. TACO, the ratings and reviews come from Yelp, Google, Tripadvisor, Uber Eats, Grubhub and other sites, and the prices from each restaurant's website or from photos on Google and Yelp.
