Because of my feelings towards Jack in the Box&#8217;s tacos, I didn&#8217;t expect much from their new Taco Nachos.<\/p>\n<p>The Jack in the Box Taco Nachos is made up of their regular beef nachos cut up into thirds, placed on a bed of shredded lettuce and topped with a cheddar cheese sauce, pepper jack cheese and pickled jalapeno slices with salsa and a plastic fork on the side.  <\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the picture above, it looks like the Jack in the Box tacos went partying with Tara Reid, then puked out most of its fillings and ended up lying in its own filth.  As you can also see in the picture, the taco shells look soaked which means that they&#8217;re either oil sponges or they competed in a wet t-shirt contest while partying with Tara Reid. <\/p>\n<p>If you like Jack in the Box tacos, the orange glow of melted cheddar cheese and jalapenos, you will like the Taco Nachos even though they look like a bastardized version of nachos.  I may not enjoy Jack in the Box&#8217;s regular tacos, but I did somewhat enjoy the Taco Nachos thanks to the previously mentioned cheddar cheese sauce and jalapenos.  Both of them added a lot of flavor to the dish and the jalapenos also gave it a little heat.  There were enough jalapeno slices to provide one for each Taco Nacho piece.<\/p>\n<p>At $1.99, the Jack in the Box Taco Nachos is a decent meal or snack.  If it was priced at $2.49 or more, it wouldn&#8217;t be worth it, since Jack in the Box&#8217;s regular tacos are pretty much dirt cheap.  <\/p>\n<p>I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Jack in the Box Taco Nachos, but I guess my heart has a place for radioactive orange cheddar cheese sauce and pickled jalapeno slices.  If Jack in the Box&#8217;s regular tacos had on the inside what the Taco Nachos had on the outside, I might actually like them.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; Unavailable on website.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Jack in the Box Taco Nachos<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $1.99<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Jack in the Box<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Surprisingly good.
