<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Surely you\u2019ve had a Sonic Jr. Burger at least once in your life, right? The Fritos Chili Cheese variation is precisely how it sounds: a small Sonic burger topped (or bottomed, I guess) with crunchy Fritos and mild chili, delicately ladled in a most un-Texas-like fashion for a moderately tasty burger.<\/p>\n
Growing up in the Lone Star State, just about every ballgame, birthday, and baptism had the opportunity to down a Frito pie or two. So it\u2019s one of the rare things on this Earth that, sadly, I know all too intimately. And while yes, this is Sonic\u2019s attempt to mimic it and call it its own, it isn\u2019t quite there yet, at least when it comes to the whole burger thing.<\/p>\n
Sonic Jr. burgers are always a delicious pick me up for just a couple of bites, and the Fritos and chili certainly don\u2019t take anything away. But once you get a good look at how chintzy they are with the cheap chili con Fritos, you might ask why Sonic even bothered.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lightly dripped on the bottom bun with a small handful of Fritos, you\u2019d do better to just order at Sonic Jr. Burger and go across the street to the convenience store and add a quarter bag of Fritos and some free cheese from the dispenser.<\/p>\n
Even though the Sonic Fritos Chili Cheese Jr. Burger is a slightly delicious dud, the chain is also offering, for 99 cents each, a small Fritos Chili Pie and a Fritos Chili Cheese Jr. Wrap. While they look a bit more suitable for the Frito\/chili\/cheese product, due to their low price point, it\u2019s probably more than likely they\u2019ll have about as much junk (or lack thereof) as the burger.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
For a $1.99, it\u2019s mostly alright for the sparseness that you get. Sure, it\u2019s something they\u2019d kick you out of Texas for if the good ol\u2019 boys in Austin ever find out, but until something with more Fritos and even more chili comes along, I guess it\u2019ll have to do, partner.<\/p>\n
