    See if you can figure out how much and what kind of "meat" is in Jack In The Box tacos.

    They're still around? They died out decades ago in my area.

    As far as Taco's go, they're the bottom of the pile to me.
    The shells are soggy.
    Not a fan of Jack taco's, Some of the guys at work like them because they're cheap.

    Yeah, there are a number of Jack In The Box loactions where I am. I like to get fast food breakfast sometimes - I prefer McDonald's breakfast items, but McDonald's stops serving their breakfast stuff at 10:30AM; if I'm in the mood for a breakfast item after that, I might go to Jack In The Box and get one of their "Extreme Sausage" sandwiches.

    I do like McDonald's coffee though. I tend to prefer iced coffee, and McDonald's has a sugar-free vanilla iced coffee, which is a good option for me since I need to limit my sugar intake.

    Back in my college days, Jack in the Boxes weren't open 24 hours - but
    the drive-thru was. As long as they had food left and were closing
    up, the drive-thru window light was on.

    Most college post-party after-action reports were accomplished over stale supertacos, 32 oz. sodas, and whatever was left in the fryer.

    I have 2 Jack in the boxes near me, one just east and the other just west.
    I don't go there to often as their drive thru is slower than molasses running up hill, going inside is about the same.

    On the bright side, if you go in, you'll have a better chance of thme getting your order right.

    Not sure about them being stale or not, I want taco's with a crunchy shell. Jack has soggy shells and no where near as good as tacotime or del-taco.
    The breakfast menu is pretty good, although I prefer a suasage egg McMuffin from McDonalds.

    Occasionally lately I've been getting food delivery, but sometimes I still prefer to go pick it up myself. Sometimes, my delivered food order is missing an item (which could be the fault of either the delivery service or restaurant employees). Food delivery also adds fees.. So going there to pick it up myself is less expensive, and I can ensure the order is correct (especially if I go inside).

    I think Jack In The Box is a popular choice for people who like to make snack runs when they have the munchies, and the quality might not be as important as filling up on snacks (and some people might prefer it). If I'm getting hard-shell tacos, I generally like a crunchy taco shell too, though sometimes I don't mind if it's not as crunchy. Soft-shell corn tortillas are a thing too.

    The breakfast menu is pretty good, although I prefer a suasage
    egg McMuffin from McDonalds.

    The sausage & egg McMuffin is one of my favorite fast food breakfast items.

    Hey Nightfox!

    While I do enjoy those, they've also (finally, as it seemed to take a bit) adapted from the steak, egg, and cheese bagel and made a McMuffin version of it. It's wonderful. I've never really been a fan of bagels, so while that was a thing I was always like "man, they should make this on a muffin," which they eventually did!

    I miss the old days of having a drawer full of to-go menus, calling the restaurant and knowing there wasn't a middleman involved. Heard too
    many horror stories of delivery companies gouging customers and screwing restaurants.

    Interesting.. I've tried McDonald's steak, egg & cheese bagel and I thought that was pretty good.

    For me, I think their sausage & egg McMuffin is hard to beat though. I think McDonald's sausage is seasoned really well.

    I miss those times too. But I think one advantage to being able to order online is order accuracy - at least, if you go to pick it up yourself. When calling in to order food, sometimes they'd mis-hear me or something and might get part of the order wrong. There's one restaurant near me I sometimes liked to get take-out from though which would make mistakes very often, no matter if I called it in or ordered on their web site.. Their food was good though, which is why I liked going there.
