I have been eating two-a-day for years, and have personally witnessed so many taco variations, it aggravates me all the time.
1. Too much sauce 2. Too little sauce. 3. Too little cheese 4. No cheese 5. Undercooked 6. Overcooked 7. No lettuce 8. Too much lettuce 9. Gobs and gobs of filling 10. Not much filling (must leak out if the cook them on their end) 11. Cold and soggy 12. Hot and soggy 13, Cold and greasy 14. Hot and greasy 15. Great taste 16. Smelly, rancid flavor 17. About 1 out of 40 is perfect. 18. About 2 out of 10 are cold. 19. About 3 out of 10 are acceptable 20. About 1 out of 10 looks like it was made by an Alberto's graduate with lettuce at about 60% of total weight and volume. 21. About 4 out of 10 they forget the cheese, and when the remember, it only covers about 1.5 bites, or 35-40% of the taco.
I could probably come up with 20 more variations, none of the flattering to the cook. Usually, when I request "easy sauce," they totally ignore the instructions...either is is still loaded with 2-3 tablespoons of sauce, or they put NO sauce. Very aggravating, when this is one of my diet's Staples. and no, my arteries are not all clogged up yet...checked out a few moths ago and clean as a whistle.
They simply DO NOT follow their build directions, in my estimation. Jack better do a helluvalotta retraining when he gets out of intensive care. There is NO CONSISTENCY. Same with their Meaty Breakfast Burritos, though I have complained about both to Jack personally.
Oh, and I don't notice the "burns when it goes in and burns when it comes out" syndrome...not spicy enough!
Haha. All in fun, but all true.

Here's a novel idea: if the tacos are never prepared how you like them, find something else to eat.
Nah. Even when they're bad they're good. However, one of the most important tenets in the fast food industry, and probably across the entire restaurant industry is consistency, and on that, they fail.
I've never had an inconsistent Big Mac, for example, though they are often lopsided, and come to the drive thru window cold half the time. However, they are always built right.
Their tacos are either a LOVE IT or HATE IT type of thing.
They are yummy but dont look or taste anything remotely close to tacos. It's basically a mush of mystery meat, wrapped by a tortilla dunked in a fryer.
BE WARNED. The next day you WILL be dropping logs like a lumberjack.

More like a bad case of the doodie squirts!!!! Those tacos have gotten so nasty YackInTheBox can't even give them away for free.
How dare you! JackInTheBox makes a high quantity, I mean quality, product. It just so happens to be that the people who buy these Tacos are drunk. The doodie squirts are just from all the boose and is totally coincidental...

Bumping for tomorrow, don't forget your free tacos (is there anywhere to get a free sample of imodium to go with this?) haha
No problems here either. I did the drive-in thing. The guy asked to make sure I had my coupon with me, and took it at the window.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG LINES @ LUNCH TIME, THEY TAKE UR ORDER, GIVE U A RECEIPT W/ A #. APPARENTLY, IF U ORDER MORE THAN JUST THE COUPON, UR ORDER IS EXPEDITED.
Total of 8 free tacos. Last trip, woman said that they had a lot LESS people use the coupons than expected.

This was an awesome deal. I told them at the drive-thru that I had 5 coupons and if they could spare me the trouble of driving to the other stores in the area I would appreciate it. And they did it! Never had better tasting tacos (free). I also did my part by paying for a small soda (no ice) to go along with it.

Regards, Cogito You know, I was once locked up for five and a half months ... don't ask ... but anyway, the highlight of our week in jail was Taco Tuesday ... and everyone always said "they're just like Jack In the Box tacos." I'd never had Jack In the Box tacos, so I couldn't really comment.
Anyway, I served my hard time and a few months passed ... one evening my friend and I were driving past a Jack In the Box and I saw a window sign featuring tacos and I was like "OH MY GOSH ... I've GOT to try one of those tacos! They're supposed to be just like jail tacos!"
So we drove up to the window and ordered these tacos ... OMG ... just one bite of one of those tacos and I was sold ... YES, they were indeed JUST LIKE JAIL TACOS!
Nostalgia or the bittersweet experience of what Proust might have termed 'remembrance of things past' is a funny thing ... like how Grandmother might have had a special dish you detested when you were younger, but now, when you take a bite your taste buds glow in a warm memory of a long forgotten time ... anyway ...
Jack In the Box tacos might not be the best thing anywhere, but they sure were the best thing in jail ... And when I take a yummy, greasy, hardening-the-arteries-palpably-as-one-chews type Jack In the Box taco it all comes back to me ... the agony and the ecstasy ... hmmmm ....
Jack in the box is probably the worst fast food place, or food place in general, I have ever been to. They have terrible customer service and no ones food tastes worse. It is hard to believe they are still in business.
