I get it... you maybe want to give a teen their first job but you're responsible for their trainings. Went here on Mother's Day for the buy one box combos get a free box combo for mothers. We did not know you had to have a card registered. We pull up to the drive thru and are met with a teen saying, "yeah, we have that going on but the people at the window can help you." So, we ordered 1 box combo and 1 box combo free. We get to the window and another "teen" says, "I don't know how to do that." So, she gets the lead or whoever they have. She comes back and says, "yeah, sorry I don't know how to help you with that and I just know you need the card for that." Our response was, "seriously?! The teen back at the order station said you would help us. We waited in line just to be told sorry it's full price for the 2 box combos." Long story short, we left. I've worked in the food industry and the branch manager or store manager needs to do better. You hire teens who are rude, disrespectful, and clueless. I know you're probably just collecting your check but that's poor management. Do better. There's a reason why so many other reviews are similar to this review. My spouse was really looking forward to having a free box combo on Mother's Day and you screwed it up. I'd advise anyone reading this please go to another location with staff who actually care. Don't support this location. In a world where most people are rude... you don't want clueless teens being rude as well.

I was picking up dinner for a family member, and for myself I had not eaten dinner yet so I decided…read moreto order two chicken strips and cole slaw to quickly eat at Canes in Rancho San Diego before I dropped off the food. The order arrived within minutes. When I received all of the food, I noticed that neither myself nor my family member got any Cane's sauce. Why would they not place it in there in case someone liked the sauce? In this case, neither my family member or myself liked the sauce, but it's the principle of the fact we may have liked it and it was not in either of our boxes. I ordered a four-piece chicken strip, two coleslaws, and bread for my family member. And, just two chicken strips and a coke slaw for me. When I opened my box, I noticed I received the smallest chicken strips. Whoever was placing the chicken in the box did not seem to be detailed or mindful if I got the biggest pieces. They did not take the time to place the meatiest chicken pieces in my box. I have no idea why. It was pretty disappointing and annoying. Hopefully, when reading this review, positive improvements can happen. I did, however notice they took pride in keeping the place clean and they were very friendly. I never come here because I enjoy grilled chicken and stay focused on a healthy diet, but tonight since I was picking up the food for my Dad and I had not eaten yet, I decided to order two chicken strips and eat it here quickly. It did not hit the spot, but then again I am not surprised because I don't order deep-fried chicken. I did like the coleslaw however, and I enjoy their toast, but did not order any for myself tonight.

I mean, you can't mess up a simple order of fries. When I'm expecting fresh, crispy fries and they come out oily, limp, and clearly not fresh, that's a problem. ‍ Please don't let fries sit under a heat lamp just to make a sale. Nobody wants sad fries! I was in a hurry and had another appointment to get to, otherwise I definitely would have gone inside and asked for them to be replaced. Now, I will say the service was actually very friendly, and the drive-thru experience itself was pleasant. The parking lot and outside of the restaurant were also clean, so no complaints there. I just expected that even a small order would be made with the same care as everything else. Did I need the fries? Probably not. But if I'm going to pay for them, I'd like them to at least be worth eating! Let's get it together, Jack in the Box! We can all make this world a better place... IJS.

We pulled up to the drive-thru speaker and waited for about 5 minutes. Nobody greeted us, nobody asked us to wait, and nobody responded at all. We honestly weren't even sure if anyone was working inside. After receiving absolutely no response, we drove up to the window and waited for approximately another 5 minutes. We could see that there was an employee inside, so we eventually knocked on the window simply to get someone's attention. A female employee finally came to the window, but instead of apologizing for the wait or asking how she could help us, she immediately told us in a very rude and disrespectful manner that we had no right to knock on the window. We never got her name. At that point, after waiting around 10 minutes and then being spoken to that way, we decided to leave without ordering anything. What made this experience even more disappointing was what happened next. We drove to the Jack in the Box at 10255 Campo Rd, Spring Valley, CA 91978, and arrived at approximately 3:30 AM. The difference in service was incredible. We were greeted at the speaker immediately. Louis took our order and was extremely friendly, polite, professional, and fast. Our food was prepared quickly, everything tasted great, and his positive attitude completely changed our mood after the experience at the previous location. This shows what a huge difference one good employee can make. Thank you, Louis, for treating customers with respect and providing excellent service, especially at 3:30 in the morning. Employees like Louis deserve recognition and appreciation. Jack in the Box should definitely take care of workers like him!

The concept is definitely unique. Their menu includes burgers, wraps, shawarma wraps, and street corn, with the option to add Hot Cheetos or Doritos to several menu items. I ordered the: *Doritos Grilled Chicken Breast Wrap: it comes served over a bed of French fries tossed with Doritos seasoning. The fries were flavorful, fresh, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The wrap itself was good, but I was expecting a much stronger Doritos flavor. There wasn't much of that signature taste inside the wrap, so it felt like a missed opportunity considering the concept. You can also upgrade your order with street corn mixed with Hot Cheetos or Doritos for an additional $2.99. My total, including tip, came to a little over $18. While that's a bit on the pricey side, the wrap was massive and easily enough for two meals. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it's a fun and creative concept with generous portions. I just wish they'd lean into the theme a bit more by adding more of that bold Doritos flavor to the wrap itself.

PLEASE READ If you read the other reviews, you know that people have been saying that the staff just keeps getting worse and worse. Well it's true. This location used to be great but now I'll never step foot in there again. The employees just wanna have fun instead of work, which is what they are getting paid to do. They chit chat all the time and screw up orders, and when they realize the customer is getting bothered or uncomfortable, they don't seem to care or try to correct themselves. And being someone who enjoys their time as well, I could clearly tell when the employees were high...which is something that CLEARLY needs to be urgently addressed. This store really needs to run some drug test on employees, the management here is absolutely shameful. No thanks. read more
