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.

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

Still pissed that they got rid of the nacho chicken chips, though. Bastards. :-)
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. [Reply]
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. [Reply]

I'd hate to see what also had to occur afterwards as well [Reply]
