-- Taco Bell voted best Mexican Restaurant in the country!
 
Keep Hating on good cuisine CP!

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- The Harris Poll, a nationwide customer survey of their favorite brands, has released its 2018 results.

The poll surveyed more than 77,000 customers in the U.S. on more than 3,000 brands to find which companies are the favorites among consumers.

Respondents weighed in on everything from printers to pizza, and the results are surprising. Here are some of consumers’ top choices.

Best Mexican Restaurant: Taco Bell

The after-hours crowd is still probably Taco Bell's biggest customer base, but the company has grown its popularity through creative ads like the Nacho Fries conspiracy theory movie trailers starring Josh Duhamel and a strong social media presence.

Full Story!

at least read the article before you're overly critical. You must admit - it's always good and hot and tasty! I'm not sure that can be beat!

This is why I hate bad market research. They have a clear methodology problem in that they're really recording information on familiarity and not preference. Of course Taco Bell is going to win because they're far and away the most common.

This is just terrible "market research", and it's why you should never hire one of the large companies to do it.

Molitoth 10-19-2018 03:44 PM

It's probably my fav FAST FOOD Mexican style restaurant, then again not many competitors in my area...

Sorry, haven't had better mexican food than Los Dos Molinos in Phoenix. Taco Hell is guaranteed diarrhea.

Frazod 10-19-2018 03:46 PM

My personal favorite is El Famous Burrito, but it's local Chicago-area chain, not national. Still, I like Taco Bell. Had it for lunch today. And it's certainly better than Chipotle, which is overrated, overpriced shit.

Still pissed that they got rid of the nacho chicken chips, though. Bastards. :grr:

I like both chains, but despite both being nominally Mexican they are very different. When you're trying to get through a contentious divorce by writing emo song lyrics in a legal pad you stole from work, you go to Taco Bell. When you're trying to persuade your son's little league coach to let him play shortstop despite barely knowing which base is first base, you take them to Chipotle.

Taco Bell isnt bad compared to other fast food restaurants, but its fast food, the only thing it could win is a popularity contest because they advertise more and people are most familiar with it.

Chipotle is hands down superior to Taco Bell. At least they use real meat and not some mystery meat from a plastic bag that's boiled in-bag to heat up.

I haven't eaten at Taco Smell in about 6 years.

I will confess that their Baja Southwest steak gorditas were incredible and I ate them exclusively and nothing else from TB.

They have been gone for about 10 years.

also had them in neighboring Independence, growing up, of course.

FlaChief58 10-19-2018 04:19 PM

ROFL Taco Bell being called the #1 Mexican restaurant in America is laughable. I guess it makes sense considering they have like a billion locations but as far as Mexican food is concerned, they blow chunks out of both ends.

Taco bus in Tampa is infinitely better than taco bell

No I bought my first VHS porn there at like 18 - it had that black actress in it - Jeannie Pepper - I didn't buy it for her - not sure why - but I never forgot that for some reason - she wasn't even attractive. But the movie 'overall' was pretty good, it wasn't one of the higher priced ones - so I had to settle for what i could afford.

I've only had their breakfast burrito, from the one in Lebanon, MO and it was nosty. I took one bite and threw it to my dog. He sniffed it for quite awhile and ultimately ate it, but I could tell it was under protest.

I'm not saying taco bell is trash. I used to be a fast food junkie, as seen by my diabetes. There's not enough fast food drive thru options so everyone just goes to tacobell. Poor guys outside of the midwest have never even HEARD of Taco Johns.

Wait, you first compared Chipotle to Taco Bell, now you're changing it to a local chain that serves authentic Mexican? Chipotle probably isnt as good as a place that makes authentic Mexican but its light years ahead of Toxic Smell.

seclark 10-19-2018 06:29 PM

1970's...i was working at a dq and my bud was working at a taco tico a couple blocks down the road. i drove back and forth, swapping shakes,and shit for tacos, cause i don't think they had those chimmi changas and whatnot back then. anyway, i was helping them shut down one night. scooping some re-fride beans out of the big pan into the pan the servers use when they make tacos, burritos, shit like that. thing was, about half inch on the top of those beans, they were white and dry, like nasty rotten bean.

so, i say to my buddy, who i was helping out..."hey, dude, what the eff is up with these beans?".

and he says, "hey man, scrape the mold off the top of the beans!"
go ahead and laugh.

I've been to Chipotle once and found it to be bland and overrated. I go to Taco Bell and find it to be exactly what I expect it to be, which I'm fine with. And if I had to choose between the two, I'd go to Taco Bell. Doesn't mean I'm giving it five stars, though.

But I'd rather go to the other place, because it's far better than both of them.
