Because they are delicious and excellently priced trash.

 

[smoothj]

Get the monster taco.. mmmmm so bad for you.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

There was a time when Jack in the Box did "Taco Nachos," which were literally those tacos sliced up with nacho cheese poured on to them along with a few other toppings.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

It's been years since I've had fast food, but IIRC, Burger King tacos are a much better take on the same idea. 2 for a buck, tangy hot sauce, a little cheese, but they're crispier and taste better.

 

[Big Baybee]

I wonder if JitB eggrolls are still delicious. Eggrolls and tacos back in the day was life. This thread about to make me relapse.

 

[Rest]

They're cheap and they taste good, that's why people buy them. Just because the texture of the meat is questionable doesn't mean the whole thing is bad.

 

[the1npc]

Wow that looks nasty but I kind of want. US gets all the crazy fast food eh

 

[Chris R]

Brehs, this shit is the greatest thing ever when you're high.

They knew what they were doing with the munchiemeal. It's so fucking good

 

[Wilsongt]

I have never had Jack in the Box. There isn't one where I live.

 

[Borgnine]

When I was a kid my family would get 2 dozen of these things and call it dinner. Fond memories.

 

[sqwarlock]

These tacos are godlike if you're drunk and/or high and need cheap food at the end of the night.

Honestly though, I enjoy them stone-cold sober too.

 

[Vixdean]

Weed, the answer is weed.

Tacos at Burger King? Where are you from, I've never heard of this.

 

[timetokill]

It's super cheap and the ultimate drunk/high food... case closed

I think that qualifies as abuse.

Unfortunately us Lakers fans haven't been contributing lately, yo. #wewanttacos

We don't have Jack-In-The-Box in the southeast. I think we did briefly in the 90's, until their tainted meat killed a few people and ruined their expansion efforts.

Why would you get these over Taco Bell? They look like they're absolutely terrible.

 

[Princess Viola]

I wasn't even aware Jack In the Box sold tacos. (I don't live near any)

 

[Beer Monkey]

I like 'em.

because you also want a brunchfast burger or a sausage breakfast jack and it's literally any time of day or night.

shout out to the bacon ranch monster taco, too.

 

[Sawneeks]

TIL Jack in the Box is a California thing spread to a couple places in the U.S. I thought it was a huge chain like McDonalds and had infested every corner of the States.

on topic though, I can't stand these things. My friends often buy a couple when we go for our midnight snack runs so they are contributing to this problem.

Pretty sure you can get them here in southern califronia

Spoiler

disclaimer; i rarely eat BK so i could be wrong

 

[Eye for an Eye]

Thry don't sell them. For years you could get two free tacos with the receipt. Unfortunately, I knew the existence of such people that would take receipts out of the garbage, use the free wifi in the store, and get multiple free tacos all day long.

I doubt their taco sales would be so high now that it's b1g1 free on a larger sandwich on the receipt. I also haven't noticed any free taco coupons on their mailers in a while.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Never had one. I just get the Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger.

 

[Ballistik]

It's the worst thing ever and yet I order some every time. You guys hate but I have one location near me that I can't bash. This specific location has crazy fast service. There can be 5-6 cars in front of me and they go through them with very little wait. The food always looks really well made and everything is fresh. Like I said, it's most likely due to how popular this location is.

 

[SpecX]

That's a good one as well. Jack is great good when drunk and I always find myself getting tacos or something from their menu after leaving a party.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

because they taste delicious when you are drunk.

 

[TheTylerRob]

Ugh these things always annoy me. People eat them because ground beef + cheese + lettuce + sauce tastes good and they cost 50 cents. Wow, I cracked the code.

 

[ZealousD]

The food always looks really well made and everything is fresh.

You're aware we are talking about Jack In the Box tacos, right?

 

[Dishwalla]

The ridiculous thing about JitB not being on the East Coast is we have Qdoba out here, which is owned by JitB. Maybe they don't want you to know they own Qdoba, but they do.

Or as the hipster millennials would call it, "The deconstructed Taco"

 

[Moonkeis]

This use to be my "go to" meal in high school.

 

[MsVirion]

I got hooked on these when I lived in Arizona, because they tasted almost identical to the Burger King tacos they briefly had that I loved as a kid.

On a trip I finally got a chance to introduce my roommate to them after years of swearing by them. As he ate his third one he informed me that I had ruined his life since we don't have a Jack in the Box in our actual hometown.

 

[wenis]

Food of the gods, we are all just trying to be a god.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Nah, that would be taco salads.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

 

[Koyuga]

Jack in the box tacos are so bad. I love them. Dip 'em in the sweet and sour sauce JitB has.

 

[Crayon]

Love these motherfuckers.

 

[Tom Nook]

I'm guilty of eating them: 2 for $1.

 

[oc]

I used to buy 4 tacos for $2 and change but now I just get 2 monster tacos instead. Good stuff.

Is that a before or after picture?

 

[TheYanger]

I had four of them just a few hours ago. They taste perfect for what they are and cost just some change out of change pile in the car. Perfection.

 

[jiggle]

i love them

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

We don't even have Jack in the Boxes around these parts.

 

[this_guy]

That's bad journalism. EVERYBODY in this thread knows why people eat them - cheap drunk food.

 

[DrForester]

I don't think I've ever had any food from Jack in the Box...

 

[Stinkles]

Jack in the Crack makes the best weird junk.

Chili cheese curly fries. Man. What a time to be alive.


BTW, NOT ONE person in America thinks these are real tacos, so please don't tell us about your amazing bodega/truck/hole in the wall.

 

[daveo42]

WSJ must have missed the memo that so many people buy them because they are 2/$1. Cheapest of the cheap when it comes to fast food items. Even McD's can't beat that.

 

[Voras]

They are one of life's greatest drunk foods.

I'm willing to bet at least 1/3 of all of those Taco's sold are to drunk / high people at around midnight

That would explain a lot of their advertising.

Pretty much. Same argument I make when people get high and mighty about del taco or taco bell too: we get it, you want "real" tacos. Nobody cares though.

Crap in the cube was a late night tradition in college

That would explain a lot of their advertising.

The Munchie meals come with two of em.. Just saying. And are delicious
