The results of a nationwide survey called The Harris Poll, determining people’s favorite brands of the year has revealed some rather surprising results.
Namely, that Taco Bell was voted the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.
Nope. Over 77,000 people determined that Taco freakin’ Bell is their hands-down fav “Mexican” restaurant.
Okay, so who doesn’t love an after-hours Taco Bell run for some nacho fries or Doritos Locos Tacos? That’s not the issue.
After the results were revealed, people were quick to react to that fact that many consider Taco Bell to be far from authentic Mexican food.
i want to know what part of the population was polled for this #BestMexicanFood because if you've been to NY or LA... you would know @tacobell isnt even on the list!
Others kept their opinions short and sweet.
@Lectronica @KFOX14 @tacobell Taco Bell is not Mexican 🙅🏻♂️
Other people even offered their own suggestions of eateries that serve what they consider to be real, authentic Mexican food.
@ScottMonty These folks need to come to Oakland - Doña Tomas, Cosecha, Cholita Linda, Tacubaya... or Austin at Curra’s, Guero’s, even Torchy’s. If @tacobell is the best where they live - missing out on the real deal.
Needless to say, the debate is ON whether Taco Bell even qualifies as real Mexican food or not.
