OMG, I remember them! I don't remember them being that good. I sure ate enough of them though - teenager/college student fare, I would say. Don't have Jack-in-the-box around here anymore.

Enjoy!

They are sooo good... in a very bad, very greasy, way! I used to ask for their salsa and add it to the tacos instead of the hot sauce... I don't remember them looking like the picture... hardly any lettuce or cheese in real life, and a lot more grease.

Thanks for the coupon! Let us know what you think of them.

Jack In the Box tacos are a strange breed. The only thing really "taco like" about them is that they come in a taco shell. They are deep fried and have this sort of mystery meat/chili paste inside. Half slice of processed cheese and a bit of lettuce is added.

That said even though they are a horrible example of a taco they are strangely addictive. Every so often DD and I just have to have one or two. We think they put some kind of crack in them. LOL

I love them, but no Jack in the Box here. Yes they are addictive but different.

Hmmm now I'm really interested in getting them.
Today is my chemo day and I will be near a Jack in the Box when I pick up my prescriptions this evening.

I've had them before, there is a Jack in the Box in the town I grew up in but none here. In fact, I can't remember seeing any in KY. Their tacos were ok.

No jack in the box here.

I used to joke about Big Macs and Whoppers that way. Then I found out that fast food places DO put drugs in their food, most notably added caffeine. Huge amounts in their sauces. That burger you consume may have the equivalent of three cups of coffee.

There are "herbal supplements" sold at health food stores that are drugs classified as food, like St. John's Wort, Valerian, KavaKava. These things can be added to any food sold due to the classification. They are probably harmless, but do give that warm and fuzzy feeling after consuming and make one more alert.

I got my free tacos! They were just as I remembered them. I was right across the street from one so I thought, what the heck...

Thanks again. My kids thank you too.

What did you think of them?

I love Taco Bell tacos. Believe it or not the Tacos (1 taco) get a thumbs up in the Stop and Go fast food nutrition guide that my DH brought home last week. One of only about 10 Jack in the Box items that got the "healthy green food" labeling.

1 taco 160 calories, 8 gms total fat, 3 gms saturated fat, 1 gm trans fat, 15 mg cholesterol, 270 mg sodium and 15 gms carbs.

That's interesting. I'll have to tell or ask DS about it. He studied caffeine extensively about a decade or so ago. He marketed it to geeks and such. He hoped that one day it would become illegal and he would be known as the guy who started dealing pharmacy grade caffeine much as Timothy Leary became famous for distributing acid when it was still legal. LOL

His enterprise is cited in a book about caffeine somewhere.

I picked up the tacos this afternoon when I went through a town that has a Jack in the Box. Then I drove 30 miles to get home and I'm not hungry. I guess I need to make myself eat one.

We used to have Jack in the Box in Long Island NY. The food was terrible and they all closed. That was maybe 20 years ago. Haven't seen one since.

That is interesting Wildchild. Did you know that way back when, when they started making everything illegal there WAS a big push to make caffeine illegal, and take the caffeine out of colas, along with the push for cocaine removal from the recipe. Who knows, it still could happen.
