I was driving past our local Jack's the other day and saw their new menu item featured in the window. Spicy? Nacho? CHEESE? Chicken? Alright I'll bite (obviously). I was surprised since I'd literally just tried out their last new menu item which, to me, seemed to breeze in and out pretty fast.
The Spicy Nacho Chicken Sandwich is Jack's current, new feature item in their late-night Munchie Meal. The sandwich features spicy crispy chicken topped with onion rings all, covered in nacho cheese sauce with jalapeños on toasted sourdough bread.
My first impression? Definitely not all I was hoping for. The bread was very greasy for starters. The chicken was crispy (which I assume is supposed to replicate the crunch of tortilla chips?) had tasty onion rings, a good cheese sauce, and as usual with their spicy food, very pleasantly spicy jalapenos (which pretty much had it for me - to be honest I would have loved a couple more). Overall I'm not sure I quite grasp the "nacho" aspect if this sandwich, aside from the crunchy chicken and cheese sauce.
Another funny detail is that I was able to order the sandwich by itself without the munchie meal. The guy at the drive-through window told me over the mic that each sandwich was $8 before midnight which honestly made my jaw hit the floor, but when I asked for two (one for my mom) he only charged me $4.00 for each.
