Tacos are still on the JITB menu here in central California. Two for 99 cents.
They had Frings return to the menu here a couple years ago but they're gone again. I liked them because JITB fries really aren't the best and sometimes you like a little bit of something different. It's not like their onion rings are anything to write home about either. But it's nice to be able to switch things up once in awhile.

I just stumbled upon a mention of their limited offering of the Bacon Shake. Anyone been tempted?

I had my first one this past Saturday, was really good! Vanilla shake, hit of smokey sweet bacon to it. Lady at the register said I was the first one to order it at that store. One thing, the whipped cream on it makes it really rich, almost overwhelming. Second one I had, got it without whipped cream and it was cold baconey sweet perfection! They use the Torani Bacon flavored syrup in it.

I would say the really big chicken sandwich is solid. Although I grew up with it, the idea of a double decker chicken sando just like a double burger is awesome.

SBoy -- totally agree on that chicken sandwich.
As a previous poster stated -- I also would swing by with friends around 2 am on Saturday night (actually Sunday Morning) for our fix of the Super tacos (don't think they have those anymore). With some really spicy "almost-meat" and greasy beyond belief....along with some great onion rings. Of course, now thinking about it, those onion rings were nasty and bitter. I do, however, indulge once in a great while on those 2 x 99cent tacos....always making sure I have some Tums in my pocket...lol.
As we were in college and low on money...if we were really low on money, there was the old ButterKrust cental Bakery nearby and we would drive behind to the dock....a guy would walk over with an unsliced loaf of bread in a white paper sack all for 25 cents and still all nice and warm. We'd fill up on that and some milk before crashing. Really crazy days but many unforgettable moments.
BTW, this is a pic I found of the bakery. The fresh loaves cooling on conveyor belts sat just inside that very long row of windows and could be seen by everyone as you drove by, not to mention the fresh baked bread smell wafting from the huge building.

No but I am a fan of the seasonal pumpkin and eggnog shakes.
Did I just admit that on the internet?
