We compared Burger King's new taco against Jack in the Box's version, and while they look similar, the new one is nowhere near as good as the classic

Burger King sells its Crispy Tacos for $1 each.

Meanwhile, Jack in the Box sells tacos in pairs, at $0.99 for two.

Burger King's taco is a dense, greasy pocket.

Jack in the Box's taco is around 30% bigger, heavier, and more stuffed than Burger King's.

There's hardly anything between the hard, unforgiving shells of Burger King's taco.

Jack in the Box's shell has a wholesome tortilla crunch, even if it is soaked in oil. And its filling is distinctly beef, cheese, and lettuce.

Burger King's taco tastes kind of like beans. It's not very filling.

Jack in the Box's taco tastes like heartburn, but kind of in a good way. The meat is there.

I was disappointed by how little substance Burger King's tacos offered, even though I only paid $1 each.

Jack in the Box's taco was much larger and tastier than its doubly expensive competitor.

There's simply no reason to order a Burger King taco over the taco it's trying to imitate ...

... unless you live on the East Coast where there are no Jack in the Boxes. If that's the case, do what you've gotta do. I won't look.
