I've been a Jack in the Box franchisee for 37 years. Here are 6 of my favorite menu items.

"Jack in the Box, for a lot of people, is known for the tacos," Jones told Business Insider. "We've done two tacos for $0.99 for 29 years, and never raised the price for years."

Bloomberg reported that in 2018, the price of two tacos was raised from $0.99 to $1.29 at some Jack in the Box locations in California, where Jones is based. However, most locations nationwide still sell two tacos for $0.99.

Jack in the Box has two different kinds of tiny, bite-sized tacos. The regular tiny tacos ($5.99) come with an avocado cream sauce, while the loaded tacos ($6.99) come topped with cheddar cheese sauce, shredded lettuce, and the chain's signature taco sauce.

"We're known for tacos. Others try to imitate and haven't quite got it," Jones said.

Jack in the Box's egg rolls ($4.59) are filled with ground pork, cabbage, celery, carrots, onions, and spices, and come with a side of sweet-and-sour sauce.

"We have egg rolls that we don't seem to advertise. I'm going to have to ask why not," Jones said. "The food taste profile on those is extraordinarily good."

The Buttery Jack ($8.19) features garlic herb butter melted onto a beef patty as it grills, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayonnaise on a brioche bun.

"Personally, I love the Buttery Jack," Jones said. "It's a great sandwich that is to me, flavorful, tender, and juicy."

Jones also says that the chain's chicken strips are "underrated" and "as good as anybody's out there."

A five-piece order costs $11.29, and a three-piece order costs $8.99.

Jones told Business Insider he loves the new burger — and other people seem to, as well.

When the burger first launched at select locations in January, it was intended to be available for six weeks. However, the $8 burger was so popular with customers that it sold out within two weeks. It's expected to arrive nationwide this spring.

The Smashed Jack cheeseburger comes with a ¼-pound smashed-style beef patty, two slices of American cheese, a new-to-menus Thousand Island-inspired "Boss" sauce, pickle slices, and grilled onions on a brioche bun.

"It's already been voted as the best hamburger in fast-food restaurants," Jones said, citing a recent Jack in the Box blind taste test that included burgers from McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King. Our reporters agreed the new burger is "way better than a Big Mac."

"We think that's going to be a big winner for us over the next several months," Jones continued.
