Jack in the Box

When you are tired of the same old Mac food, try some Jack for once. It’s not the same old Jack like the old days, it’s better. Jack got some moves with his Jumbo burger politely known as the Jumbo Jack, the most recognizable burger for fast food.
I had a JJ here and it tasted better than a ¼ pounder without the bacon but once you add their applewood variety, forget about it! NO one can top the great value like 2 tacos for 99 cents and although its on the greasy side, it was good enough to fill the hunger need quick. Use the drive thru if you plan to order to go, nice cool shade unlike other drives thru.
Don’t get their bite size nuggets, it’s gross tasting. Get their bigger tenders if you want finger food. That’s my take.

I haven’t been to this food chain since I lived in CA 19 years ago. Other than the menu seeming larger than I remember, it was pretty much how I remember it. Cheap and tasty tacos. If you love tacos and want a taco shell different than the other establishments, then try them here. They are crunchy and great! The chicken egg rolls, are awesome! I love their egg rolls. How can a fast food joint have better chicken egg rolls than a Chinese restaurant or take out? I don’t know but these were certainly better than some of the egg rolls I have had at Chinese places. Hard to believe right?
They serve other items such as burgers and fries if you aren’t in the mood for tacos and other Mexican food items.
Thanks for reading my review. This review is based off of my personal opinion and experience.

I do not approach Jack in the Box with high hopes-​but this location is *particularly* inept.
Long story short-​on a recent trip to the drive-​thru, it took 15 minutes to get a cup of flavored iced peach tea. There was one car ahead of me, one behind-​blocking me from escaping and forcing me to see this through.
The manager yelled at me through the intercom after I’d waited 10 minutes asking what size I wanted. I said whatever the size was on their menu, since they only had one size advertised for the Peach flavored tea. He yelled again, I assured him whatever was $ 2.59 would be fine.
5 minutes later, they bring me a standard ice tea. They effed up a single beverage order, after 15 minute wait.
The snarky and vicious attitude was enough to put me off. I understand these people aren’t highly paid-​but you know what? You have a job. 11% of people right now don’t. Its time to swallow a little pride and give a little customer service. Otherwise-​kick their a$$es to the curb and hire someone else who is unemployed and can be a little more helpful.

Regular menu items are just a bit more expensive than their competition and the service does seem rather labored or delayed at times. Occasionally the order gets confused as well, but what do you expect for drive thru service, right?

They brought back the Teriyaki Rice Bowls after a brief hiatus and I’m hooked on them. In fact the Teriyaki Bowls made the Healthy Dining List at
. Filled with chicken with broccoli and carrots on a bed of rice makes for a very healthy meal. I ask them to go light on the teriyaki sauce because the sauce recipe was changed and has more pepper than the last sauce they had. You can always ask for teriyaki sauce on the side and add it as you wish. With the combo deal you get an egg roll (which is quite good) and a drink.
The new flavored iced teas are not worth the extra price. You’re better off getting flavored iced tea in a bottle or from the fountain elsewhere.
This restaurant is easy on, easy off from Southbound 101 at the Entrada Drive exit.

I’m surprised this JITB is not on it’s location radar. This particular one has been a regular stop when I travel on the 101N. Not really a fastfood fan but when I need a quick meal that I can rely on, this is my stop.
They don’t have JITB in my home state of CT. There was one, back when I was younger. When they installed the inflatable «Jack» head outside in it’s sign, someone shot it’s hat and it remained deflated for the duration of the restaurant, which was less then a year.
I now choose JITB over McD’s. The burgers taste like a burger should taste and the fries look and taste like they were actually handcut (Not likely)
This particular JITB is situated off the 101 where it’s easy off, easy on. A stop that I like to make when I know i’m close to my destination.
