What a motherfuckin' DEAL

I have tried every single one. I liked the grilled cheese sandwich for a bun burger and the one with all the mozzarella sticks the LEAST.

My favorites were the loaded nuggets and the Brunch burger with a hashbrown/croissant bun. DOIASKDAOSD SO GOOD.

I wonder why certain regions have chicken in them :/

I love how if there's any doubt that it's stoner food, they've made sure you know by selling you your "Loaded Nugs" with a side of "Halfsies"... so named because they're half curly fries and half regular fries, hahaha.

And don't forget the newest addition to the Munchie menu:

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

MSG makes them taste good.

Ugh, I need to try that one now.

GREAT drunk food. Jack in the Box is great drunk food in general.

Is ”drunk food” just a euphemism for ”shitty food” these days?

Even Taco Bell is better than this fucking garbage.

Why the hell do you people eat this stuff?

Taco Bell is the bottom of the fast food food chain. Even their tacos suck. Only good thing they had was the flat bread sandwiches.

 

[TheYanger]

You're right, it was Jack in the Box. It was the 80's and a few people died, including a young girl. Very sad and unfortunate.

Different scare Jack in the box was e. coli in the early 90s from undercooked meat (it was cooked to federal standards but that wasn't hot enough to kill it). They almost went under as I recall.

Yep, Wikipedia says 4 kids died and 600 more got sick. I remember everyone avoiding the place like the plague, then one of my friends (jr high times) mentioning that they probably had some of the most panicingly stringent safety regulations about their food because of it and it was likely safer than most other fast food. Made sense, so I started eating there again

 

[Sinatar]

You think THAT'S crazy, here in KC there's a northtown tradition called In-a-Tub. It's an independent taco/burger place that's been here forever and the tacos are made with...


POWDERED CHEESE. Like, not dissimilar from what you find in a little envelope inside a box of Kraft mac n cheese. Hell, it might actually be that.


Yep:

But people love that place. In fact I'm kinda craving it now. Definitely one of those "so bad it's good" things.

Cheese slices and now freaking Kraft Dinner powder?

What the hell America?

 

[gutshot]

I believe the meat is actually a soy and beef mix. Not healthy but not as bad as some rumored Taco Bell meat in the past.

Pretty sure Taco Bell uses a soy and beef mix as well, but theirs actually has good texture and flavor.

I stand corrected when I said it was the 80's but yeah, that's the one I meant.

So yeah, Jack in the Box got real tight about checking their food after that. I also remember going to Carl's Jr. during this time and they actually had fliers mentioning the outbreak and how they're very careful in inspecting their food and making sure a tragedy like that doesn't happen with them.

 

[ZealousD]

Taco Bell is the bottom of the fast food food chain. Even their tacos suck.

And yet even those tacos are better than this. Jack in the box tacos look like they're made with coagulated vomit, not beef. At least Taco Bell tacos have insides that LOOK like beef.

 

[zeopower6]

Now that sounds like a nightmare to eat. I don't want to choke on cheese powder

Just curious but have you actually tried it? :x

 

[FlyinJ]

Jack in the Box tacos aren't even really tacos.

They are a taco shell with american cheese and some weird Purina-esque meat substance inside them.

What is that substance? It's like pureed meat, pureed beans and ketchup I think?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Now that sounds like a nightmare to eat. I don't want to choke on cheese powder

And let me add... the meat and powdered cheese are actually placed into the corn tortilla BEFORE it's fried, then they drop the whole taco in the fryer, and drop the lettuce and sauce in there after they come out.

It's like nothing else.

 

[Dereck]

The most horrible thing you'll ever enjoy. Bad quality meat and veggies, premade in a frozen taco "shell" and deep fried. What is that meat inside...who knows? Why are you asking me these questions... I'm drunk and high and damn these are good.

We need real pictures of these

Their tacos don't look like this where I live.

Anecdotal evidence is not reliable here.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I love jack in the box tacos despite how horrible they are.

 

[oneHeero]

best tacos ever.

Yep:

wow

Taco Bell is fucking garbage. No drunk food is in I go there after heavy drinking and get food.

Lol I'm convinced you haven't even tried it.

 

[zeopower6]

The only thing I ever get at Taco Bell is the chalupa but it's getting a bit pricey :| And they got rid of the nacho cheese version. >(

Have you ever actually had a Jack in the Box taco? They're leaps and bounds better than the Taco Bell equivalent.

 

[speculawyer]

Is this a joke thread?

I mean I love their Tacos . . . but they are terrible. They are these thin little grease bombs. A guilty pleasure at 2 for $0.99 but they are kinda disgusting.

 

[zeopower6]

Honestly, neither Del Taco or Taco Bell's tacos compare, which is weird. Something about the beef... it definitely is not the soy+beef mix.

[BFIB]

When I'm drunk, and need that drunk food, its Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger and two tacos.

Fries are given to the dogs. Food of the Gods!

 

[ZealousD]

Lol I'm convinced you haven't even tried it.

I have. They're literally the worst tacos I have ever had. The shell is soggy and greasy as hell so there is no crunch. The lettuce is slimy, not crisp. The meat... is a fucking mystery. They're AWFUL

 

[Kano on the Phone]

Jack in the Box tacos are garbage, but they're awesome garbage. Seems like a lot of people just don't "get it."

 

[DietRob]

Yep, I certainly don't 'get' how having a mouthful of grease followed by a lapful of taco guts from the thing falling apart is awesome.

 

[depths20XX]

Satiating your booze filled stomach with these grease bombed delights is just something you'll never understand.

IT. TASTES. SO. GOOD.

I have. They're literally the worst tacos I have ever had. The shell is soggy and greasy as hell so there is no crunch. The lettuce is slimy, not crisp. The meat... is a fucking mystery. They're AWFUL

The squishiness of the grease soaked taco is the best park. The lettuce I've had was crispy, btw. The meat is a mystery because it's a secret. A Delicious Secret.

 

[ZealousD]

Jack in the Box tacos are garbage, but they're awesome garbage. Seems like a lot of people just don't "get it."

What, the tacos are so bad they're good?

 

[TylerD]

Did someone bring up diarrhea yet? Surely someone has to bring up diarrhea every time you talk about fast food.

Post 16:

I like them alright when I'm in the mood for them, but there is too much lettuce in them. Between the shell, the grease, and the lettuce, it's a huge mess to eat one. Also, the new Bacon Ranch Monster Taco gave me really awful diarrhea.

never fails!

 

[cdyhybrid]

Jack in the Box in general is great if you enjoy food poisoning.

 

[zeopower6]

Post 16:


never fails!

Honestly, any time food is mentioned here aside from like ramen or something, I do notice that diarrhea tends to get brought up as well =_= haha

 

[TylerD]

They are terrible and delicious. Kind of like the taco version of Totinos/Jenos frozen pizzas. So bad yet so good at the same time.

 

[NerdEyeBlind]

When I lived in San Diego I would get the tacos all the time. The best part if when they cooked them properly and the cheese would melt against the shell. Also the taco sauce is really good. Overall one of the best values for two tacos for a buck.

Now I'm back in Madison, WI and no Jack's to be found ...

 

[zeopower6]

They are terrible and delicious. Kind of like the taco version of Totinos/Jenos frozen pizzas. So bad yet so good at the same time.

This makes me wonder if Jack in the Box'd create a 'taco roll' version of this at some point like a pizza roll but enclosed in a shell. :|

 

[Auron_Kale]

Was just discussing the tacos with a co-worker during lunch.

Whenever I get a munchie box, the tacos are always the first things to get eaten. They're the definitive "so horrible yet so delicious" food item for me. Also, the munchie box is one of the greatest values ever due to getting so much food for just $6.

 

[ZealousD]

They are terrible and delicious. Kind of like the taco version of Totinos/Jenos frozen pizzas. So bad yet so good at the same time.

So essentially you'll eat anything as long as it is drowning in grease.

 

[DietRob]

Guess not.

 

[Damaniel]

Cheese slices and now freaking Kraft Dinner powder?

What the hell America?

It's not all of us! As a west-coaster, I find the idea of powered cheese on tacos disgusting. Blame the midwesterners - it's all their fault. While you're at it, blame them (or at least the folks in Cincinnati) for putting chili on their spaghetti...

 

[lunchtoast]

I love them. I'll usually order some along with whatever I'm getting.

 

[Tangeroo]

They're pretty amazing. Whenever I go to JitB, I get two regardless of what I'm in the mood for. The downside is that you have about 2-3 minutes to eat them before meltdown.

 

[K.Sabot]

Both Carl's Jr. and Jack In The Box make surprisingly decent tacos because they both fry the everloving shit out of them.

 

[zeopower6]

So essentially you'll eat anything as long as it is drowning in grease.

That is not what is happening here.

 

[kevo_huevo]

it's definitely something to eat if you're not sober, but you gotta dip them in ranch.

 

[Kite]

eww if I'm at Jack in the Box and want to get something off their value menu I go for their chicken sandwich. The meat is actually crispy, the lettuce crisp and isn't greasy as hell. And for a dollar its pretty filling.

 

[ZealousD]

That is not what is happening here.

Then what is? ”Grease” seems to be the common denominator here.

 

[AntoneM]

I feel bad for non San Diego-ites who don't have access to -berto's drive-throughs.

Wait a minute, There are -bertos in San Diego?? Thought they were a Phoenix thing.

 

[zeopower6]

We have Albertacos in the OC which is pretty amazing. The carne asada fries and California Burritos ahhhh~
