Easily enticed by new menu items, Marvo of product review blog The Impulsive Buy tries Jack in the Box's Nacho Cheese Burger. While I was disappointed to find out that it isn't a cheeseburger topped with tortilla chips, but a cheeseburger topped with sliced jalapenos, it's still slightly more interesting than a plain fast food cheeseburger. Marvo gives it the thumbs up:
The jalapenos gave the burger a nice heat, but not enough to think I might have contracted a burning sensation from a drunken starlet. The cheddar cheese sauce added nicely to the burger’s flavor and was as gooey and as radioactive in color as I would expect.
The Nacho Cheese Burger is available at Jack in the Box for $1.29. Marvo warns that it's on the small side, so you may need something else to eat with it. Just don't go for the BBQ Bacon Sirloin Burger.
I tried one. It was pretty tasty. I love jalapenos on hamburgers.
They gave me a two for one deal, so I tried the chicken sandwich with cheese and jalapenos, too. I didn't like the chicken as much.
Not something I'd order again given the other tasty options, like a original Jack with no ketchup (they only started adding ketchup recently).
My big problem is the faux cheese sauce.
I know it's a way to use the nacho cheese they use for nachos, but on a burger it doesn't work well. This cheese flavored goo is a mess to eat.
I think I'd rather have it with fries.
The hot peppers would be a great addition to any burger, they should think up some other more tasty combinations using them.
I love Jack in the Box. The two tacos deal is awesome. And I do like the Ultimate Cheeseburger. The cheese to meat to bun ratio is very balanced. I hope they follow through with their plan to go national.

Typical fast food burger. They always look like someone sat on it before serving it to you. That looks nasty.

I enjoyed my trip to jackinthebox. It is fast food, but I don't think we have anything like it in New York.

The cheese in the pretty Jack in the Box promotional picture looks like it was Photoshopped in.

Gross.
I guess if I were drunk and starving, I could eat one.
In reality, I think I'd rather go for the two tacos for 99 cents. Sloppy and so crunchy!
