Jack in the Box\u2019s Monster Taco has been a monster success for the chain. Actually, I don\u2019t know this because I\u2019m not privy to the company\u2019s internal numbers, but it\u2019s been around for several years, so I assume it\u2019s a popular item. For the Halloween season, the chain has pulled out from a sarcophagus the Mummy Wrapped Monster Taco.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a Monster Taco topped with the usual American cheese, shredded lettuce, and taco sauce that\u2019s \u201cmummy wrapped\u2019 in a cheese sauce and bacon-stuffed warm flour tortilla.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re reading this review, you\u2019re probably familiar with the taste of Jack in the Box\u2019s tacos, so I\u2019m not going to mention much about it. While I enjoy them, this version is disappointing.<\/p>\n
Adding the flour tortilla, cheese sauce, and bacon bits adds a noticeable amount of heft to the Monster Taco, making it a bit more monstrous. However, the cheese sauce and its warmth are trapped under the flour tortilla, making the taco\u2019s center even soggier than a regular Monster Taco. Thankfully, that\u2019s kind of okay because the tortilla prevents any leakage from happening. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
However, I don\u2019t know if mine was made with more cheese sauce than the kitchen instructions say, but I felt there was too much of it in my order, and it made things overwhelmingly cheesy. While that sounds nice for fondue, a cheeseburger, or Wisconsin, it\u2019s not in this case because it also makes the menu item too salty. Yes, water is wet, and fast food is salty, but this was particularly so sodium-heavy that my taste buds started to wonder if they should tap out after getting halfway through. I eventually had to convince myself to finish the last three bites.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Besides the overwhelming cheesiness and saltiness, there is also an underlying smokiness from the bacon and the usual mild kick of pepperiness and heat from taco sauce and the seasoned meat. But I wonder if those pork bits also contribute to this being too salty. <\/p>\n
While a clever idea, Jack in the Box\u2019s Mummy Wrapped Monster Taco is a monster disappointment. I don\u2019t plan on ordering it again, and I think it should be placed back in its sarcophagus and buried in the tomb of fast food ideas. Or it should have less cheese sauce.<\/p>\n
