Man, Jack in the Box tacos are barely food.

[Craig234]

Not that fast food is good, not that Jack in the Box is good fast food (except those cheddar bacon wedges), but man. Those tacos. Below dog food. What s with them? Can't tacos sue for false advertising?

Little hard deep fried grease container with a little corn tortilla added, a little wipe of brown paste, a few shreds of cheese (that's all I get on mine). Ugh.

It's never crossed my mind to go to Jack in the Box for tacos. It's going to be Taco Bell if that's what I'm craving.

I've had them. wouldn't want to eat them everyday but they ain't horrible.

 

[nutxo]

They are disgusting but I eat them sometimes,.. I dont know why.

 

[Bartman39]

Jack in the Box...? Have not eaten there in years...

 

[WaTaGuMp]

2 for .99

 

[ponyo]

2 for .99

That's great reason to eat it. I never had Jack in the Box but I would try it for that price. Deep fried tortilla and beef has to be good.

The best thing about Jack in the Box tacos is the paper they're wrapped in. They help to keep your hands clean when you throw them in the trash.

That taco doesn't look that good. Where's the onions, salsa, cilantro, or lime?

 

[louis redfoot]

dude, those tacos were 2 for .99 20 years ago.

20 years ago a big mac combo was $3

Just say no

Ya, that's the best picture I could find, they're better than that - but it gives an idea of the quality meat and portion.

I don't mind Taco Bell but it's also dog food.

 

[MongGrel]

I don't mind Taco Bell but it's also dog food.

I agree, but a higher grade of dog food

Is about like McD's, we occasionally splurge on a deal like a dozen taco pack once a year or so. We usually cook in house tacos/burritos/nacos/pizza even, It's not that hard to make the basic ingredients and make your own from scratch, and get better ingredients from the store.

You can just make a mega burrito in under 5 minutes with a microwave reheating things. 15 minutes you can do rice and beans and and other sides with a rice cooker.

Like many have said in other food threads, it is not that difficult to learn to cook and benefit.

Millions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth my wife was doing her post-doc at Burlington, VT., which had a pretty good Tex-Mex, well for the Northeast.

One day the lab was buzzing because a "real Mexican place" was opening and I mean real excitement. Awesome!

Yep, Taco Bell.

Is this the good one?

This looks like a dog pood, ate it, then vomited it up onto a tortilla.

Jack in the box tacos are a national treasure you shut your dirty mouth!

I haven't been to a JITB since they were east-coast.

I haven't been to a JITB since they were east-coast.

I guess I haven't been near a JITB since I left Hawaii in 84, and I think I stopped in there once then.

Blech.
