They're Back!

[Chili Palmer]

....and not those shitty pork hamburger sandwiches either - It's MONSTER TACOS!

Love 'em or hate 'em we all have had Jack In The Box tacos at the end of a night of drinking. No they're not the best tacos out there, but there's something about that mystery meat they put in them and their hot sauce that makes it complete and closes the evening, but the Monster Tacos kick it up a notch, with a generous helping of mystery meat in a longer shell. I was going to go get a chicken bowl from the teriyaki place, but when I saw MONSTER TACOS I had to have some. I'll probably get them again in the next couple of weeks, then that'll be it for about a year if they're out again. I'm like that with Big Macs - I can go a year or two and not have one then I'll have 2 within about 3 weeks, then I'm good for another few years.

Explosive development!

 

[musicFunsun]

I love me some Jack in the Box tacos. It’s been a while since I’ve had one, gotta change that soon. My husband has never had one. Gotta try to change that soon, too!

 

[LazyLavey]

Taco, Breakfast Jack, Onion rings and a Dr Pepper...... @coolchange

 

[napanutt]

Jack in the box was mine and the wifes go to when we met in 1983.

 

[boatnam2]

Hard to beat the JACK N CRACK taco, even better in its big brother form. I remember when you got 2 tacos a fry and coke for $1.06, daily staple as a young pup.

 

[Bullet28]

Yep can’t beat those tacos

Lol. I was in a JIB a week ago and ordered two tacos for a quick bite. Ya, it was the one in Parker and the guy was all proud
“ Monster tacos are back!” Got say I was a little happy for the nostalgic thought.

It’s not meat, it’s Taco filling! (TVP)

 

[johnnyC]

I remember when you could get the jack in the box tacos for $.14 cents , they were my fav. then and still are , the onion rings were the bomb but they changed them years ago.... now their not so great!

 

[RCDave]

Ground and mixed in a blender, donkey meat tacos!!!! The blow out faster than ya can eat em. But taste damn good though

 

[havasuhusker]

One of the best "after a night of drinking meals" to be had!

 

[Waterjunky]

Yea, Jack in the Box taco's are a hidden weakness of mine. I keep it under control so I only get them a couple of times a year.

never had the monster, just the regular.

Unless there's a Tommy's nearby, then Tommy's is the go-to.

 

[Angler]

Just had 2 in Parker, the kid told me I was the 1st to order them... LOL

 

[500bbc]

Unless there's a Tommy's nearby, then Tommy's is the go-to.

With extra chili and yellow peppers.

 

[ltbaney1]

I love those kangaroo meat tacos.

 

[havasuhusker]

Never heard of Tommy's before. Looked them up online and it looks pretty good.

@Gelcoater I've always wondered what went into that filling. It isn't exactly meat but it isn't exactly non-meat. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think

A real, carne asada taco off most taco trucks are two bucks.
But? To each their own.

Don’t leave out Naugles egg burritos!

 

[DRYHEAT]

Don’t leave out Naugles egg burritos!

Did Naugles ever come back? I recall there was a thread about it a while back but I haven’t seen one yet. Maybe because I don’t go to California if I don’t have to.

I remember seeing that too.
I’m not sure but I think a plandemic got in the way?
Would love to try it again.

I kind of forget about the pandemic because nothing for me really ever changed, except when I get yelled at for walking into someplace in Portland without a mask on.

 

[Boatymcboatface]

The have two naugles in the OC one is on the boardwalk in Huntington Beach I tried it and it wasn’t really the same.

Jack in the box tacos are one of my weaknesses loved them since I was a kid but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that my dad would get a craving for one every few months at about 10:30 at night so I’d go with him.

pretty much me too.
I still worked.
If anything it was kinda nice because traffic was light.

2 weeks in lockdown in April of 2020 when the wife had it.
That was about it
We contained her and me not either daughter caught it from her.
One daughter later caught it but she’s only a semi resident here anymore, so that was easy enough


Edit...
about it other than a lot less dining out and fast food. No big loss looking back.

 

[Lumpy]

Walked out of 321 Santa Monica Blvd at 2-3am many times...3 blocks up and one over...only to devour 6 in under 5 minutes. Then race home to the North end of Malibu over 90 mph the entire way.

Mmmm, cod tacos...

[Mr. C]

It’s not meat, it’s Taco filling! (TVP)

I don’t care what it is. There is something addictive about them.
And bring back Naugles

It’s still better than that Beyond Meat shit.

 

[DRYHEAT]

It’s still better than that Beyond Meat shit.

Sometimes makes me wonder if my favorite burger place is secretly sneaking fake meat into my burger. Since I’ve never tried it I don’t know if you can taste the difference or not.

There is something addictive about them.

It's the MSG and the Sugar

My old mentor used to say in reference to Jack in Box tacos " They are so bad they're good "
