| - This Jack-in-the-Box is close to where I work, so I thought I would give it a whirl. Some Yelpers swear by this restaurant. How could I go wrong ?
Firstly, I have to say that the restaurant was very clean, and orderly, including the parking lot. The staff was friendly and seemed to want to help. I am not a huge fan of fast food burgers so I decided to try the "Monster Tacos", and an order of regular fries. They gave me a number, and a cup and I was on my way. They have the fancy Coke Machine with a million possible combinations. I chose a regular Coke.
Within a short time my tray was brought my table and I was ready to eat. This is where the story changes. I have been eating Tacos my whole life, since I was a kid. My Mom used to make them, I made them, my Wife makes them, and I even ate them in the Army. I have eaten Taco's at different restaurants in different parts of the County. So, I would consider myself a fair judge of Taco's. In my opinion this wasn't a Taco. It was more like a Crime Against Humanity.
The meat looked and tasted more like a greasy meat paste, like something you would squeeze out of a toothpaste tube in a nightmare. The the shell was very hard and had a nice hint of stale. The lettuce looked and tasted pretty sad too. My worst Taco expeience EVER.
Now, I don't have an axe to grind with this store. I think the problem is the corporate wonks that actual put this on the menu. In my opinion, the Jack in the Box Taco is garbage. They should be feeding these to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
PS - The Fries were dry and did seem like they were sitting around for a while.
