Little Piece of heaven right here

Have you had El Pollo Loco on the West Coast? It is sooo much better than here. I think it might be the fact that they are so much busier there it is fresher. Both times I tried it here is was dry and leathery.

Mexican food here is totally different than the Mexican food in California, not sure why.

I like in and out, but I don't love it like some people. It's just a decent burger.

Pardon my ignorance. What is so great about them? And if I ever get to stop at one what is a must get item?

2 tacos for 99 cents. Get at least three orders of them. People rave about the breakfast Jack too, but I don't care for eggs so I have never had one. The tacos are the best though.

Are they authentic Mexican style tacos or the kind with non traditional stuff in them?

yeah yeah already looked it up Anderson SC I got it..... and yes you are right reaching back into my addled memory it was a jacks, I mistook that for a GA version of jack in the box kinda like shoneys that goes by half a doz diff names depending on where its at...

I did it too. I went ripping up into the drive through of a Jacks in Center Alabama all excited one day and ordered myself 4 orders of Tacos only to find out that they are not connected to Jack in the box in any way and they don't even have tacos.


Sonic USED to have really good Tacos too, a lot like Jack in the Crack, but they pulled them from their menu a few years back.

I think they take them out of the freezer and drop them in the fryer, grease heaven!

I'll have to check them out. I don't get to travel much but maybe I'll come across one sometime. I do love me some cheap tacos

They used to fry the corn tortillas back in the day (circa 70-71), then when I was back in SoCal for two years in the early 80's they were hard shell, but really good greasy tacos really cheap.

Tacos is the only thing I remember about them.

The shells are still fried. Not sure if they stopped for a while in the 80s, but the have been fresh fried corn tortillas for at least the last ten years.
