<P> Although best known for its hamburgers , Jack in the Box 's most popular product is its taco , which it has sold since the first restaurant in the 1950s . As of 2017 , the company sells 554 million a year manufactured in three factories in Texas and Kansas to `` a legion of fans who swear by the greasy vessels even as they sometimes struggle to understand their appeal '' , The Wall Street Journal reported . The newspaper quoted one fan who compared it to `` ' a wet envelope of cat food ' '' and observed that `` there are two kinds of people : those who think they 're disgusting and those who agree they 're disgusting but are powerless to resist them '' . A Los Angeles restaurateur praised it , however , as `` the most underrated taco of all time '' ; celebrity fans include Tom Hanks , Chelsea Handler , Selena Gomez , and Chrissy Teigen . What makes the taco unusual is that it is created with the meat and hard taco shell in the Texas and Kansas facilities , then frozen for transport and storage . At the restaurant , it is then deep fried , then prepared with lettuce , cheese and mild taco sauce before serving . </P>
