    Ultimate Cheeseburger
    Ryan B.

    This location has continued to come in clutch for late night/super early morning meals for myself and some friends. It's been years since I stepped inside but what I can say about present day is that the drive thru has always taken well care of my orders. They're also pretty quick with shooting them out, so the wait time at most is minimal. I guess it's fair to say the late night staff, provides a great environment for customers to order and pick up their food. For that, I will give this a 4/5. It's above average, and in particular much faster in wait time than the location on the other side of Alameda.

    Food is always good here service service, pleasant ambience, music chat in the kitchen

    They over charger. They slammed the doors and I had to wait for the police for a good minute cause I thought they were in the right.

    It's about the principal, not even the actual price and I was waiting there for the police and they finally showed up and they were over here marking at me and they slam the door at me. They spoke in Spanish in me to. Thought I didn't understand them. I actually have a recording of them throughout our whole interaction even when they called the police saying bs. Even when they laughed at me.

    Please do not Purchase anything from this Restaurant. I have complained about a worker, late 20's, Mexican, light skin, dark hair wears it cut very short on the back and sides, he works evenings. He is always extremely rude. I guess the owner has informed him of my bad reviews, so as I had predicted when I wrote about his behavior the first time, he now has control over all the staff. I arrived at 5:45 pm. The worker ignored me for 5 minutes, it was obvious he did not wish to take my order. When he made eye contact with me, I asked him was there someone who could take my order. He answered, "No" I needed to wait 20 min. for another worker. I told him I wanted 4 Jumbo Jacks. I stood there until 6:15(30 min.), then he spoke in spanish to the worker cooking the burgers, and walked to me rang up the order. I paid, and the burgers were already made, I now understood he spoke in spanish telling them my order prior to making contact with me. My food tonight was pitiful, all 4 children complained, the burgers were flat, like only bun and over cooked patty, cheese 99% melted off, 1 little lettuce leaf, that turned slimy from being cooked by the over-cooked HOT burger, 1 skinny little slice of tomato. I am a retired colonel from the United States Marine Corps. I should not be getting treated like this by this person, who is allowed by the owner to treat me in this fashion, because I complained about his rude behavior toward me at Christmas time. The owner owns both Jack In The Box restaurants in Alameda, Please by your food from somewhere else.

    I had a craving for chicken nuggets, and the nearest place was Jack-in-the-Box ( JITB) on Webster St. Then I noticed that I never left a review for this hometown JITB. This is an old restaurant, it used to have the original Jack in the Box drive-thru speaker back in the early days. It was a clown on top of a box. So when you place your order, you speak to the clown! So how was my visit? Drive-thru (DT) took about 4-5 mins. The DT line wraps around thru the parking lot. Staff were ok. Chicken Nuggets were fairly fresh. I believe the holding time for chicken nuggets is only 20 mins. Use the sauces, and the nuggets are edible and enjoyable. Small dining room, small parking lot, drive-thru in back of the building.

    $8 meal thanks to the app!

    Open during COVID-19. After buying groceries at Grocery Outlet, I decided to see what deals were on the Jack in the Box app. $3 chicken strips, $2 onion rings and $2 small Oreo Shake?! I'm sold! Add that I could get a free 5 piece nuggets with a mobile order and I put my order in, pressed the start order button and was on my way! The order was perfect. Everything was made fresh and crispy. The only reason they have 4 stars is because when I've gone into the restaurant in the past, their soda machine has either even broken or only has diet soda (which I don't drink). I eat here pretty rarely but always good to have another quick option!

    I don't know which of my fellow yelpers reported that this Jack in the Box is closed. Absolutely false and inaccurate. This Jack in the Box has been at this location since the 1970's. AAMOF, it has been there going all the way back to September 1970. How do I know? After attending classes at College of Alameda over 40+ years ago, I used to come to JintheB for their special - 4 tacos for $1.00 - for lunch. My husband and I just stopped in to get something to eat. Per the receipt, check in time was 7:52:25 PM and the date, 11/27/2019. The employee who took our food order was Martha. Receipt also has a telephone number. It is (510) 523-6396. Eats: Chick-n-tater meal, which included two tacos, halfsie fries and a small drink. Cost: $8.72 (tax included). Finally, I doubt if the people at Yelp HQ will remove the notice that this fast food eatery is closed. I have proof that they are indeed opened for business. Where is the physical proof from the yelpers who said it's closed?

    Showed him my order and he could care less, it was proof I paid

    Went in with zero expectations and left planning my next visit…read more Stopped by Tacos Mi Rancho near Lake Merritt and honestly didn't know what to expect. From the outside, it looks like a straightforward taco truck, but wow was I surprised. I ordered the Carnitas Super Taco, which came loaded with lettuce, cheese, cilantro, onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. My only complaint? You only get one taco per order because I definitely could've eaten another. The Kid ordered the Carne Asada Super Taco and before we even pulled away, she was asking for a second one. That's usually a pretty good sign. We also tried the horchata and jamaica, and both were delicious. The horchata was creamy and flavorful, while the jamaica was refreshing and not overly sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly they got the food out, especially considering how popular this spot seems to be. A few things to know: * Cash or Venmo only * Parking can be a challenge, but it's worth it * Keep an eye out for the new speed cameras in the area Their hours are another plus: Open daily, 9:30am- midnight Overall, this was one of those pleasant surprises that reminds you not to judge a place by appearances. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

The flavors are rich and laid on thick. We ordered a veggie burrito, a bean and cheese burrito with rice added, and three tacos (carne, pollo asado, and Cameron's). The carne melted in my mouth, since it was rich with rendered fat, and the tortillas were crisped around the outside to melt and seal the layer of cheese inside. Probably our best overall dish was the bean-cheese-rice burrito -- covered in their salsas and peppers -- since it balanced all the ingredients and textures. On the other hand, the veggie burrito brought the flavor, but between the crema, pico, guacamole, and cheese it ended up soggy halfway through and the tortilla threatened to come loose. The shrimp and chicken were forgettable, and the tortillas come crispy off the griddle but they are damp by the time you walk anywhere to sit. What captures the truck in a nutshell are the chips they serve, covered in a seasoning that replicates Doritos flavor. Sometimes that is exactly what you need. But you can get it elsewhere easily too.

Very generous portion for the price, five dollars per taco and they were big. 5 stars on that. Nice little salsa bar, all of the sauces were good and fresh. All you can eat chips. Nice! The lady taking our order was nice. I am going to ding them a star on the ambience. It was freezing in there and they really could do more with the decor, but whatever, it's a taqueria, not fine dining. There are only four tables so not a lot of places to sit. I came back to try their burritos. They were fine. Everyone in my group ate them. The vegetarian one was kind of slimy - must have had cactus in it which I hate and failed to notice on the menu. Overall, solid taqueria choice on the east end. I went back and took pictures of the menu because they don't have a website and there are no current menu pictures for this place.

Each of my tacos was great, but the mushroom one stood out. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and had a slight crunch which gave them an excellent texture. They were also incredibly well seasoned. My barbacoa and Chile verde tacos were also solid with some nice topping variation that helped mix up the flavors and texture. Oscar's service is good and straightforward. Place your order up front and either grab a table there or walk to their back patio. I LOVE the back area on a sunny day and would highly recommend it. Each taco here will run you about 5-6 bucks so don't be too suprised by the sticker shock. I would say 3-4 tacos is the ideal range depending on how hungry you are. Give them a try if you're ever in the Mosswood/Temescal area.
