Mexican Fast Food

Which fast food Mexican restaurant is the best?

I like Mexican fast casual restaurants a lot. I created this page as a rebuttal when someone claimed that they were all the same. This is not true and I can prove it. Starting with a base of 100, let's add and subtract the cool or awful things about each franchise and see what we get. Note: While these are all national chains, this is categorized in the New York section of my web site because I'm comparing the local franchises.
