Any else here like the 2 for 99 cents tacos at Jack in Box.

[texanwitch]

I shouldn't eat them, no telling what they are really made from but they are so good.

[JVS]

1. YES!

[Kutjara]

2. Have you ever noticed how you never see...

...any stray cats near a Jack in the Box?

Just sayin'.

[Shakespeare]

3. OMIGODYES!

They're so wrong, but soooooo good....

[texanwitch]

4. I hadn't bought any in several months, still the taste the same.

That is some stange looking meat in the tacos.

[MsKandice01]

5. Yes, LOVE them, even though I have no idea...

What that meat-like substance is they fill them with.

[texanwitch]

6. That is way they fry them so you can't tell.

I had four tonight, couldn't stop at two.

[struggle4progress]

7. I personally would like em better if they were 99 for 2 cents.

[mykpart]

8. Jack in the Box tacos are SOOO much better than Taco Bell,

Taco Bueno, Taco Patio or any other fast food taco!

[Skittles]

9. OMG DON'T GET ME STARTED

those things are a DISGUSTING PILE OF GREASE but I cannot even get home before I devour them :o

[bertha katzenengel]

10. My sisters and I call them Crappy Tacos

And nothing livens a Friday evening more than my BIL coming home with a sackload. :)

[emmajane67]

[Shakespeare]

15. Ya know, that's actually much better than I thought it'd be.

And no high fructose corn syrup, so extra-yay for that.

[ChickMagic]

12. My secret shame

I freaking LOVE those things.

[montanto]

13. Yessss

Truly one of the most disgusting things that somehow tastes good.

[Left Is Write]

14. I have never tried them.

[montanto]

16. I can actually smell them right now, but

haven't had one in years!

[texanwitch]

17. They still taste the same,

Wouldn't think a fried taco would taste so good.

[Kali]

22. Real tocos dorados ARE fried (of course we are talking a whole different food here)

But if you go to Mexico and order tacos, you won't get crispy unless you order dorados, and they fry the meat with the shell.

[GRLMGC]

18. They kinda disturb me

Someone told me they were filled w/ beans as opposed to beef (I don't eat beef) so I ate one. It was pretty good but I was disturbed to find out they were supposed to be some sort of meat product in spite of the paste-like consistency of the filling.

[Mojambo]

19. No, but now I'm going to have to stop on the way home.

Thanks A LOT!

[texanwitch]

27. I am thinking about the the tacos now also.

Good thing I don't have to drive to work.

[SPKrazy]

20. Don't Have The Pleasure Of A Jack In The Box Here

but tacos from jack in the box?

:shrug:

[texanwitch]

25. Old Jack as tacos.

The tacos we are talking about are fried and damn good.

They have been around forever.

I was on way home and passed several Jack in the Boxes, the tacos were calling me.

I now have my fix, I hope.

I do like the breakfast jacks.

[SPKrazy]

28. Sounds Good

I know you can get breakfast tacos at places in Texas that you can't other places it seems like

But we have no Jack in The Box here :cry:

[texanwitch]

29. I would have thought Jack in the Box was nation wide.

I will join you, we lost our Kmart stores.

:cry:

[SPKrazy]

30. I'm Sure It Is National

and I am sure they have them around in some other city

but not here!

No K-mart?

yeah, well Wal Mart pretty killed K-Mart here, but we still have a store

I'm waiting for the TARGET! :woohoo:

[texanwitch]

31. I now go to Target.

I will be buying my new TV there, $199, less with my last gift card.

Hope you get a Target soon.

[SPKrazy]

33. They Are Supposed To Build One

even have the place cleared off, but no construction started yet.

Target wants the city to build better access from the street for them

[texanwitch]

34. Target has opened a lot of new stores here.

They built one on the freeway, which was stupid.

We have a mall here with an empty Penny's store which would be prefect for a new Target.

At the mall location people on buses could have gone to the store, on the freeway only people with cars can get there.

[SPKrazy]

35. I'm Sure They Are Figuring

on people with cars having more disposable income or something

Since we're in the land of Wal Mart in Arkansas, Target coming is a big deal

It's a political fight among other things

[texanwitch]

36. Targets are nice stores.

My Target is at Memorial City Mall, a really nice location.

It used to be about one mile away, down the freeway.

The store has brought a lot of traffic to the mall.

[SPKrazy]

37. I Always like their ads

and their stores

I certainly will go there as opposed to wal mart, but right now there are some things that wal mart is about the only place to go to for

[texanwitch]

38. My neighbor recieved a large gift card from Walmart so I drove her there.

Being in Walmart made me happy for Target.

Target is bright, clean and just feels better.

Once the Target is open you will never look back.

[SPKrazy]

39. I Can't Wait!

good night!



:hug:

[texanwitch]

40. Sleep tight.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

42. ..

:hug:

[Kali]

21. oh yeah - and thier onion rings aren't half bad either (if the grease is clean and the "cook" is

mildly competent.

[Redstone]

23. I haven't seen a Jack in the Box in YEARS. I don't they are in the east anymore.

Redstone

[texanwitch]

26. We don't have Kmart here anymore.

I miss going to Kmart.

I rather have Kmart here then Jack in the Box.

[Lethe]

24. i ate 2 of em' last night

and woke up today with fever and stomach ache :(

[w8liftinglady]

32. I made my own tonight...still my favorites..and SO unhealthy..but..what the hell

[u4ic]

41. Don't have it up here in Canada

I've never had a fast food taco. I prefer to make my own, using ground bison, and lots of veggies. :9

[texanwitch]

43. Bison taco, that sounds good.

These 2 for 99 cents tacos are good but not healthy.

[u4ic]

45. It has a stronger flavour than beef

so I use less. And there's barely any fat in bison meat.

The price is right, too - it's about the same as extra lean ground beef. :hi:

[texanwitch]

47. I have had bison burgers.

They were really good, very lean.

I don't really think the jack in the box tacos have real meat.

They come frozen and are fried when ordered.

I have been eating them since I was a teenager.

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

44. I've never had Jack in Box

What is the food comparable to in terms of fast food. I imagine like rallys/checkers just dirtier, maybe even white castle?

[texanwitch]

50. I don't know.

I have never been to White Castle, Rallys or Checkers.

I know that White Castle makes the little hamburgers.

[w8liftinglady]

46. yum.I used to like the deluxe ones..with sour cream

[texanwitch]

48. The expensive ones.

:rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

49. No, but the curly fries are incredible

[texanwitch]

51. O yes, they have great curly fries.

Jack in the Box has the best really fast food.

[pinniped]

52. It used to be 3 for a $1.00 ( I think it's mainly comprised of partially hydrogenated bean oil ).

I'm sure there's meat (powder) in there.

Beware of arsenic laden chicken.

[ForrestGump]

53. Dammit. I saw this thread earlier today, when I peeked in to DU. At 12:35 AM, I

could take it no longer and -- having sort of forgotten to have dinner -- jumped in the car to drive to the nearest (not too near) Jack In The Box for some of these infernal foodlike items. I have long wondered what, exactly lurked inside these fried tortillas, and am not surprised that TVP is a prime ingredient of this paste (or, as I prefer to call it, paté). I guess I can feel a little bit better about eating these alleged tacos, then, given that they're almost sorta vegetarian (in the same sense of those people who claim to be vegetarians except for eating fish, or chicken, or anything but beef).

The food from Jack In The Box has hardly been my favorite of the chains (I used to love a ham and swiss burger they had in 1985, but it vanished off their menu after a while) but was hitting it fairly regularly on the way back from work on the Strip when I was getting off work at anywhere between one and three or four in the morning, because not a lot else was open and convenient. I discovered their salads are pretty good (especially the Chinese chicken salad, though the one from McDonald's has some higher-quality spring mix and is way lower in fat...and I have definitely never been a fan of McDonalds food) and that their chicken fajita pita and southwestern chicken pitas are not only really good (a little expensive for what they are, though) but must be at least halfway decent, nutritionally. And their chocolate malted crunch shake is excellent, albeit a nutritional atrocity that I try to avoid until the shake shakes set in and the only cure for my lactose fever is more cowbell cow product.

Back in the '80s I used to like Burger King's tacos, though I don't think I ever saw them outside of Southern California or, at least, the West. Somehow they seemed closer to a real taco, though similar in concept to the offering at Chez Jacques au Box, and therefore Jack's version may receive at least some edge in my affections for the sheer junkiness of them, the same reason I used to have to eat a Tommy's burger and 'chili' fries once a year when I lived in Los Angeles, like it or not.

Tonight I ate my 'tacos' in the parking lot -- no way I was going to last long enough to get those disgusting little f***ers back to my place -- and the only thing that stopped me from doing a comparison test with Burger King's equivalents is that BK was closed by then (true story...I drove over to the nearest Burger King, prepared to sacrifice my GI tract and chances of sleep to the quest for knowledge). Probably just as well, because I feel bad enough after downing four of those UFOs (Unhealthy Foodlike Objects)...I usually, on those rare occasions when the urge grabs me, stop at two.

I generally tend to not eat a lot of fast food. If the subliminable suggestions of DUers drives me to a six-taco-a-day Jack In The Box habit, I'm blaming it on a Vast left-Wing Conspiracy... :grr:
