"I asked for toppings on the side for my Pitaya bowl and they neatly packed everything in Togo containers so that I could assemble at home. Everything was fresh and delicious! The Basil Dressing for the Salad is my favorite, Love Swamis!"
"Instead of MMYO Omelette. I got something else. It had all the ingredients that I had not asked for and none that I had requested or are part of MMYO. The omelette did not look as if it was made of 3 eggs and the taste was overall very bland. Ver poor experience"

"I received fresh, hot out of the oven bagels the last two times I ordered. This place is the BEST. "

"Omg food was hot and fresh when it arrived! Most times my orders from other places are lukewarm but not at Jack in the Box Everything was hot and fresh, iced coffee good and cold. Egg Jumbo Egg Roll (1) was the best I've had so far. Great amount of food in the Jumbo Breakfast Platter w/ Bacon Combo. You'll Def get full and for a sweet treat get the Chocolate Overload™ Cake . It's not overly sweet and will satisfy that sweet tooth."
"Worst soggiest sandwich I've ever had. Bread is really chewy but wet at the same time somehow. Very disappointing. The fan favorite box was ok though."

"The Egg-Normous Burrito taste is very delicious. I enjoyed eating the egg, bacon and hash browns filled inside this warm flour tortilla. This Egg-Normous Burrito was very satisfying and flavorful. I couldn't stop eating it, because it tasted that good! The Hash Browns are very crispy and delicious. The Vanilla iced Coffee in the medium size cup is really good, I loved drinking it. This Vanilla Iced Coffee is one of my favorite flavors for Iced Coffee. The Simply Orange Juice is healthy and very good it has the right amount of sweetness to it. I highly recommend this BK Breakfast meal."

"I ordered the Meximelt® and a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito. The burrito was half the price and more than twice the size.

"Delicious and flavorful! Enjoyed the wrap and strawberry matcha, will definitely be back!! Great value!"
"I’ve ordered from here twice, but DoorDash doesn’t allow me to leave stars (I’d give them a 3 at this point). My first order was the Mediterranean omelette, salad and a hot matcha latte. Everything was fine. Today’s order was the Wagyu Moco Loco with another hot matcha latte, and it was awful — the beef patty was tough, dry and tasteless, and the rice was hard and chewy. The foam on the matcha latte was dark green, bitter and gritty, full of matcha vs milk. It tasted terrible. I couldn’t drink it past a couple sips. "

"The talking turkey melt plus I added avocado was absolutely outstanding. Also, the grilled cheese was amazing. The fries and the onion rings are top notch.
