Is this right? A Burger King taco?

Looks kind of like a Jack in the Box taco, although I guess BK is national while Jack in the Box isn't.

Carne asada, lengua, cabeza. And it should either come from a truck or from a place that looks like the tables are 30 years old.

on a side note, I had never eaten a taco in my life, until i was 18, and the Nave sent me to Mt View Cal, and they had a jack n box right off base, I found out what a taco was and couldnt eat enough of them

I'm not even sure you can truly call Jack in the Box ones tacos. Tacos aren't supposed to be deep fried. But whatever they are, they're addictive. I remember for a long time they were 2 for 99 cents, but now the price is more like 2 for $1.29.

It's definitely not an authentic "Mexican taco" but they are pretty darn good. I like them better than the Jack in the Box ones. We've had them at some local Burger King's for years... they used to be 2 for $1 something though.

Funny story, we went to a semi local BK drive thru years ago and I ordered 2 tacos and it was just silence....I quickly scanned the menu and said do you not have tacos? And the person sounded so confused and said No... I said never mind and drive off.... they probably hought I was an idiot and mistook BK for the taco bell next door.

There are authentic fried tacos just not deep fried....those are my favorite things. be put the filling in the tortilla(chicken, beef, potato, even Turkey from Thanksgiving leftovers) and fry them in a pan...then you add all your toppings. Yummy...

That's a quesadilla.

Many many years ago the burger kings in northern Illinois had fried tacos during a limited time.
It did not sell as well as the company thought it would.
And only did it in some sections of the country.

I don't know how they could have said it was a failure as I ate there quite a few times a week for those tacos.

Hope what they are promoting now will be the same as I had eons ago.


Jack in the box fried tacos got my money also......

I want to try one just because I heard they taste like Jack in the Box tacos. Which brings me back to late nights as a teenager 40 years ago.

What they have now seems like a national promotion, like the McDonald's Worldwide Favorites promotion. However, I found one that didn't have the Stroopwafel McFlurry.

I thought Burger King was out of business. All in Seattle closed 10 to 15 years ago.

I told my wife about it and she sent me out to buy 5 of them for the family. So I tried a couple and yeah in concept they're like Jack in the Box tacos. Not quite an oil slick so that's a positive. I like the sauce they use. They've more expensive though. For a bit more than that $5 I could have bought 8 at Jack in the Box. But I'm glad I tried it.

I also asked if they had any sauce for it (like Jack's) and was told that the only taco they have is already in them.

Umm...no. A quesadilla is a tortilla with cheese inside and not fried as much as much as we fry our tacos.

These are the kind of tacos I'm talking about...we've made them for years, never knew they had a name until I saw the post on Instagram.

I've been to a few places that at least had freshly deep fried shells that were puffy like a taco salad shell. They also take an uneven shape by design. The El Pollo Loco chain had two crunchy chicken tacos, chips, and a drink for $5. Unfortunately they discontinued that item. There's a local taqueria near me that has something similar except with more meat options.

They're all over the place in So Cal. There's at least 15 of them within a hour of where I live.

I live in Northern Illinois and we have had tacos at Burger King for at least the last 10 years.

I don't like burgers from Burger King so I don't see me buying tacos from them

Why would anyone go Burger King in So Cal when you have In & Out?
