First of all I did not know Jack in the box was 24hr resturant 🙊 secondly the Buttery jack was amazing. I decided to download the jack in the box app so I can take advamtage of the Really good value deals. It was 2am when I paid for the Buttery Jack through the app and drove up for my order by the window 😁 the girl at the window said they forgot to put in my order and i had to wait 5 to 7 mins. The amazing burger made up for the wait time 5 starz

The drive thru was great. Staff were nice and took care of us quickly. The foos was hot and did not feel like it had been sitting out like at other restaurants. Great for a late night snack!

The cashier (Ricardo) did a superb job!! He was respectful and helpful and has great potential!! The only complaint I have is that I wish they had free wifi and the young woman (Claudia) was the opposite type of employee! She may just not be in the right job for her.

This place has never done me wrong and has never given me bad service. When I order breakfast, it's good. When I order lunch or dinner, it's good. When I need a late-night snack, it's good. It's it a fancy steakhouse? No, but they deliver a consistent service experience, which is all I could ask for. Edit: I decided to amend the score to 5 stars because they always get my custom orders right and without any static. Since their largest competitor has axed their own all day breakfast, this particular Jack In The Box now stands out as my favorite.

Reliable! But I like the fact that I can actually get a Real, fresh cooked egg on any of the breakfast sándwiches. So over the air fryers at Starbucks. I mean, like who wants a frozen egg inflated by hot air for breakfast? Not me!

It was a fast food restaurant so the bar shouldn't be to high but definitely affordable and decent food plus service was fast and professional

Tarez Lemmons

Pretty good Jack; always fast and they're open a good amount of the night. Very quite part of Pomona; you can get your Munchie Meal in peace here. I enjoy this spot. Infact if every Jack in the Box in Pomona fought, this one might have hands.

This is a good location to eat from if in the area. My food was fresh and cooked just as ordered. The freshness actually enhanced my eating experience making the food some of the best I ever had from a jack in the box.

Cary Saavedra

Food is amazing, but the workers are just there to earn money not to actually do their jobs right (specifically these two teenaged girls). And there is a sign on the front window that says you can dine in but when you try to open the door it's locked and staff signals you that it's only drive through

Pro: Food is good and hot. Con: There was a worker that empty a big dirty bag of garbage in the garbage bin outside had to open the bin to put the trash in, came back in and started bagging food for the customers without washing his hands and than called out 'who's next?' Haven't been back at that location sense.

I'm actually here right now. Enjoying their new frozen hot cocoa shake. I'm a fan I recommend it accompanying the shake is an order of their jalapeno poppers. That's how I roll on a Saturday afternoon

I gave it four stars because it's a very efficient Jack in the Box and frankly I don't think any fast food should deserve five stars but I think four stars is pretty darn good

Overall was a good experience. The food came put quick and tasted good. They have indoor seating available. Dining area was mostly clean and spaced out for social distancing. The staff I feel like could be more friendly. Greet and thank customers for coming, wish them a good day, etc. I would still come back.

A great location for those looking for a very late night snack. However, staff is a little bit unmotivated and not very communicating when you're trying to order. Food though, however was very fresh and tasty.

I go there now and then but the drive thru is bad because you can't park the way the planning was done on the exit,very dangerous leaving on to Harbor Blvd with traffic and a bus stop. But the Staff is real good 😇 never got shorted on my orders. But it needs to be remodeled!🙂

I have to admit, all the commercials got me wanting to try the smash burger. Had the sourdough version and was unimpressed. The burger has to much cheese. I like cheese, especially on a burger, but you can't put too much on. It was hard to taste any of the other items. Pickles all piled in one place under the bun and had to spread them out. Fries seemed not full to me and weren't fresh unfortunately. Kind of cold. Friendly service was best asset today.

This is your standard Jack in the box. Only issue is this one takes a long time to get you through the drive thru line. Food has been good and not an issue. The restaurant is overall clean inside and taken care of.

Vincent Calip

Visit this location if you want to be ambushed in the most unsafe drive thru. There is no turning back, and once in this drive thru you cannot get out if you changed your mind. If there was suspicious characters hanging out in the back parking lot or a fire, you may be compromised. Whoever owns this restaurant may want to highly consider investing in a safer setup for their patrons.

If you eat late at night or early morning don't go to this Jack in the Box because the girl at the drive through window is just plain stupid. I asked for Secret Sauce and she gave me Taco Sauce. That means she's just stupid.

I dont know what's happened with this location lately but it's been pretty bad, they've messed up my order 3 times on 3 seperate visits, some of the employees have poor attitudes and are very slow. On one visit I was given the wrong order, they requested it back and it took several more minutes of waiting to receive the correct order. The food is always good but service here has been less than desirable as of late.

T
Timothy Stewart

Service was extremely slow. My nephew even asked if we needed to get someone's attention to help us. They also give you a number to place at your table, yet offer no table service.

J
Julie Johnson

The drive through gal was friendly, but she crammed all my food into a tiny bag, causing it to rip when I took it and spilling curly fries all over my car. Also, the chicken fingers were burnt. This was my first time here. I will possibly give another chance.

Real slow, no one was at the front counter when I walked in they were all standing around the corner laughing and talking amongst themselves for a couple of minutes before they even started taking orders from the long line of guest standing inside that had gathered! Puddles of water was on the floor I almost slipped on my way to the restrooms that were filthy!!

(Costa Mesa at harbor street at 9:55 pm)Love the place and love the food but today I was treated bad and from an employee named Diaz (a young girl) she was mad giving me my order because she didn’t get it right and she kept closing the window every time I tried to repeat my order very disrespectful I think people that doesn’t like their job should not be there.

I was literally pulled out of my frends for no apparent reason. When they then would not allow me to grab my own personal effects including my own personal medication which I need to take multiple times a day on top of my highly expensive cell phone and numerous other items that I just can't think of at this moment in time do the fact that I was in such a rush by them because they were threatening to call the police the entire Jack in the Box crew was in the parking lot threatening to call the cops on me over something I have no idea even about. They will be hearing from my lawyer and not only that particular business but the entire franchise as well

Super disappointed in this location. Drove through after picking my daughter up from work and when we got home realized we were missing 50% of our order. Tried calling the store but the phone just rang. Reached out via their online customer service and got a call from the manager the next day. He asked me to send him my home address and he'd mail out a gift card. This was 3 weeks ago and I've received nothing. If you visit this location via the drive thru definitely check your order before leaving the window.

The workers here are lazy. The hours posted states the lobby is open until 10pm. I showed up at 835 and the doors were locked. They mouthed to me that they are close. Now, I walked here to get food and they are clearly not closed. I walk around to the drive thru mic and try to order. Nothing. I go to the drive thru window and ask to place an order and they tell me they don't have enough people so they are closed and since I do not have a car, they won't take my order. There are 3 employees there. No one is in the lobby, of course, it's locked. One car, containing a family, came through the drive thru while I was at the window asking for service, and they returned service. Other than that, there were no customers in sight. Everyone on staff should be fired; the shift lead, at the least. Horrible customer service and work ethic.

Many times it’s the same thing. Order is wrong and the quality of the food seems old and taste nasty. It doesn’t seem like they care about what they’re serving. Also everyone seems to be annoyed just don’t their job.

To my knowledge there is a mother and a her young daughter working at this location. they are always arguing and its really awkward going here. she creams at her daughter and makes customers feel awkward. keep it professional .

Do not come to this Jack in the Box at night. Three separate times within the last two weeks, whoever is running the night shifts don’t take any orders, saying that the “system is resetting you will have to wait 10-20 minutes to order” at the drive thru and it’s always the same guy. The first time i’d let it slide, I get it it’s at a later time it would be a great time to fix/do whatever you need to do. Second time, the same response “the system is resetting you will have to wait 10 minutes to order” and the guy is literally sitting outside with his headset at the back door. The third time, there’s literally a car in front at the window that just made an order since they didn’t drive off, and by the time we get to order the same response “the system is resetting.” Now I don’t know if this is legit or the night staff just refusing to take orders but it happens way too frequently.

No way to contact them. They won't answer the phone. Uber driver just scammed me. All I want to know. Was my order even picked up? I suspect driver is simply asking for pin by text. Claiming to deliver and getting paid to sit at home.

This location was the only one nearby that was open late. The Drive Thru screen didn't seem to be working so I thought it was closed instead but then an employee told me "the system is resetting so i can't take your order" I asked how long this would take and he said 15 minutes. I said I'd wait and come back after a while. I gave it 20 minutes and when I go back he said "the system is resetting and im counting the register so I can't take your order." I asked how long this would take and he said 15 minutes again. If things need time to reset themselves and you cannot take orders then the location should close down for an hour to give employees the chance to do the whole process. If this is just an excuse to not take orders then I won't be visiting this location again and everyone should know they might run into this problem.

Worst experience ever in my life, the worst and rudest manager that dose not know about hygiene and can not handle the seductions , I ordered a salad that came to me all saggy and had some white milky liquid inside, I asked to replace my salad he used his own filthy hands inside my salad grabbed the cheese squeezed it and said it’s just the cheese, he wanted to give me back the same salad that he put his hands on it or charge me for replacing that , and when I said I will report him as a worst manager he just garbed my salad trough that in the trash and he did not give me a new one or my money Back , I’m extremely upset and I contacted this branch owner to inform him of what had happened and he replied very rudely and he said he doesn’t care and have no time for customer complains and he said go ahead and sue us , it was unbelievable!!!! I will contact the cooperation and BBB and I will contact the TV stations to make a report about that and I’ve recorded everything on the video

Friendly and accommodating order taker and food was good. I can recommend. Update 12-24 -2023 food quality has gone down and you get less food for more money now. I can't recommend this place anymore 🙁

WOW! Within my order, I ordered a large Egg Roll which is $3.99 for (3) and asked for one extra sweet and sour since I only got two. The guy said it will cost an extra 25 cents plus tax! First time ever I was asked to pay for extra condiments. The guy said they had a new Manager. I was afraid to ask for extra ketchup! Will never go back there again!

45 minute long wait in the drive thru. Will serve an 8 person order thru the drive thru but when you order a single burger they will tell you to pull forward. I’ve currently been in line since 2:50pm. It’s now 3:10pm. There was only two cars ahead of me. Last time it was 40 minutes, this time it’s 30 minutes. Hire new staff.

So I been coming to eat here for so many years. I really like JIB but this location has disappointed me. I ordered the usual tacos, Chicken fajita pita fries and drink. I ordered tacos with extra lettuce and sauce and was charged (.25cents) ok no problem but my tacos had no extra lettuce and forgot to put sauce on them. My fajita was missing grilled onions and tomato. They heated pita bread too much that it was hard when I ate it. I had already called the complaint like at JIB, but they have not done anything since this is not the first time they messed up on my order. I’m going to do something about this. Not fair you charge extra for condiments and food is tasting like garbage. You need to train people and hire more employees. Not right!

Only through the wonder of sunlight and grease can one truly experience the Jack in the Box "taco! Just look at that pic. The tiny dark brown area is the "meat". The other dark area is lettuce. So in each one of our "tacos" 6 bites are nothing but lettuce and taco shell, three of those are nothing but shell. We all know they use the cheapest ingredients possible, but now they are even stingy on the cheap ingredients. And to date, over a week has gone by with zero response to our request for a refund. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. These tacos even cost twice the price if you order from a human.

I ordered from door dash not long ago. And you guys gave me the wrong order. Now DoorDash won’t correct the order. Thanks to you guys. Do I get my money back or do I get a sandwich and you guys suck at answering the phone as well.

I placed a mobile order and she ended up saying we didn't place our order. There was a girl working We told her the name and she made a whole scene saying they didn't have it. I had to get off and talk to the only reasonable guy and come to find out it was there they didn't hear what we said when we told them our name. This is ridiculous I argued for almost 30 minutes for this do better pls and have better attitudes!

At 2 minutes to in the morning to the opening of the store I knocked on the door because I needed to use the ladies room I was told bet the store did not open until 7:00 when it was clearly posted 6:00 a.m. was ignored the door is not opened furthermore I'm a disabled person at this point it is difficult to run to another location. I found it to be well rude. I do. Or recommend this location I believe them not only to be rude they also probably don't follow company policy as well. Horribly discouraged

Placed an online order, the only way I was able to get any workers attention was to wait through the drive thru line to pick up my pre paid order. I was trying to show them so I wouldn’t be mixed up with the cars because who knows anyone can hit me on accident. Then I got told not to come through the drive thru even though they forgot my items they left them aside and there were plenty of workers just standing around. I’ve worked at this location before and I never allowed it to be like that, and the fact that I had to go back to the drive thru because they forgot a bag. So very wishywashy, terrible experience.

Very bad energy in the restaurant. I only ordered a large fry. I paid for my order and then I asked for a couple of ranch sauce. She said they're 35 cents extra and refused to give me 2 of them, she straight up said no, you're only getting 1. I mean seriously, they throw those things away by the pounds. I would avoid this location, unless you want extra ingredients in your food, and I'm not taking salt and pepper.

Guía de Kaphrao Express

# Kaphrao Express: Un Viaje Culinario Tailandés en el Corazón de Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa, una ciudad vibrante en el condado de Orange, California, es conocida por su ecléctica mezcla de cultura, arte, compras de primer nivel y, por supuesto, una escena gastronómica en constante evolución. En medio de esta diversidad culinaria, emerge Kaphrao Express, un establecimiento que promete transportar a sus comensales directamente a las bulliciosas calles de Bangkok a través de uno de los platos más emblemáticos y queridos de Tailandia: el Kaphrao. Ubicado en el dinámico entorno de Costa Mesa, este restaurante se especializa en ofrecer una experiencia auténtica, rápida y profundamente sabrosa, centrada en la magia de la albahaca sagrada.

La Esencia del Kaphrao: Un Plato con Historia y Sabor

Para comprender verdaderamente lo que Kaphrao Express ofrece, es fundamental sumergirse en la historia y la riqueza del plato que le da nombre. El pad kaphrao (ผัดกะเพรา), o kaphrao salteado, no es solo una comida; es un pilar de la cocina tailandesa, un plato reconfortante y omnipresente que se disfruta desde los carritos callejeros hasta los hogares de todo el país. Su popularidad radica en su sencillez, su rapidez de preparación y su explosión de sabores umami, picantes y aromáticos.

El corazón del kaphrao es la kaphrao o albahaca sagrada (Ocimum tenuiflorum), una hierba distinta de la albahaca dulce o tailandesa que se encuentra comúnmente en otras cocinas asiáticas. La albahaca sagrada posee un perfil de sabor único, con notas ligeramente picantes, anisadas y a clavo, que le confieren al plato su carácter inconfundible. Su presencia es tan crucial que el plato simplemente no sería el mismo sin ella.

La historia del kaphrao es, como muchas historias de la gastronomía popular, un tanto difusa, pero se cree que su origen se remonta a la influencia china en la cocina tailandesa, adaptando técnicas de salteado con ingredientes locales. A lo largo de los años, el kaphrao se ha consolidado como la opción por excelencia para una comida rápida, sabrosa y satisfactoria, especialmente para los trabajadores que buscan un almuerzo potente o una cena fácil después de un largo día. Es el "plato de último recurso" para muchos tailandeses, siempre disponible y siempre delicioso.

Ingredientes y Preparación: La Sinfonía del Sabor

Un plato de kaphrao auténtico es una sinfonía de pocos pero poderosos ingredientes. La base suele ser la carne picada, tradicionalmente cerdo o pollo, aunque las variantes con ternera, gambas, calamares o incluso tofu para opciones vegetarianas son igualmente populares. Esta carne se saltea rápidamente en un wok a fuego alto con una pasta aromática de chiles frescos y ajo machacados. Este paso es crucial para liberar los aceites esenciales y el picor característico del plato.

Una vez que la carne está cocida y los aromas se han liberado, se añaden los condimentos líquidos: salsa de pescado, salsa de ostras (para un toque umami y de dulzura), y a veces un poco de azúcar para equilibrar el picante. Finalmente, y aquí es donde la magia ocurre, se incorpora generosamente la albahaca sagrada fresca. Se saltea solo por un momento, lo suficiente para que las hojas se marchiten ligeramente y liberen su aroma embriagador, pero sin que pierdan su frescura ni su color vibrante. Algunas versiones pueden incluir judías verdes o cebolla para añadir textura y volumen.

El kaphrao se sirve invariablemente sobre una cama de arroz jazmín al vapor, que absorbe los jugos sabrosos del salteado. Para muchos, el toque final indispensable es un huevo frito con la yema ligeramente líquida (kai dao), que al romperse, se mezcla con el arroz y el kaphrao, añadiendo una capa extra de cremosidad y riqueza al plato. La combinación de lo picante, lo salado, lo dulce y el aroma inconfundible de la albahaca sagrada hace del kaphrao una experiencia culinaria completa y adictiva.

Kaphrao Express: La Promesa de Autenticidad y Eficiencia

El concepto "Express" en Kaphrao Express no es meramente una cuestión de velocidad; es una filosofía que busca replicar la eficiencia y la frescura de la comida callejera tailandesa, elevándola a un entorno de restaurante moderno y accesible. En Tailandia, la comida callejera es una forma de vida, y los puestos de kaphrao son maestros en la preparación rápida de platos recién hechos, con ingredientes que a menudo se cortan y se preparan al momento. Kaphrao Express, con su nombre, se compromete a mantener esa promesa: comida auténtica, preparada con esmero y servida con la celeridad que el paladar contemporáneo y el ritmo de vida de Costa Mesa demandan.

Uno puede esperar que Kaphrao Express se centre en la calidad de sus ingredientes, buscando replicar los sabores genuinos de Tailandia. Esto implica la obtención de albahaca sagrada fresca, chiles de la variedad adecuada y salsas de pescado de alta calidad, fundamentales para el perfil de sabor. La consistencia en la preparación es clave, asegurando que cada plato de kaphrao sea tan delicioso como el anterior, manteniendo el equilibrio perfecto entre picante, salado y aromático.

Además del plato estrella, un establecimiento como Kaphrao Express probablemente ofrecerá una selección curada de otros platos tailandeses populares para complementar la oferta, como rollitos de primavera, sopas como Tom Yum o Tom Kha, o quizás algún curry suave para quienes prefieran opciones menos picantes. Bebidas refrescantes como el té helado tailandés (Cha Yen) o agua de coco son acompañamientos perfectos para mitigar el picante y completar la experiencia.

Costa Mesa: Un Escenario Perfecto para la Gastronomía Tailandesa

Costa Mesa, con sus coordenadas geográficas que la sitúan en el corazón del condado de Orange, es un crisol de culturas y estilos de vida. La ciudad ha evolucionado de sus raíces agrícolas a convertirse en un centro neurálgico para las artes, el comercio y la alta cocina en el sur de California. Su proximidad a las playas del Pacífico, sus centros comerciales de lujo como South Coast Plaza y su vibrante distrito de artes escénicas hacen de Costa Mesa un destino atractivo tanto para residentes como para visitantes.

La escena gastronómica de Costa Mesa es tan diversa como su población. Aquí coexisten restaurantes de alta cocina con establecimientos informales, ofreciendo una gama de opciones que van desde la cocina californiana moderna hasta especialidades internacionales. La presencia de Kaphrao Express en este entorno subraya la creciente apreciación por la autenticidad y la diversidad culinaria. Los habitantes de Costa Mesa son conocedores y aventureros en sus gustos, siempre buscando nuevas experiencias que satisfagan su paladar.

Un restaurante tailandés como Kaphrao Express no solo encaja, sino que prospera en un lugar así, atrayendo a aquellos que ya aman la cocina tailandesa y a los curiosos que desean explorar nuevos sabores. La frescura de los ingredientes, el uso de hierbas aromáticas y el equilibrio de sabores son características que resuenan profundamente con la mentalidad culinaria contemporánea, que valora la comida sana, sabrosa y preparada con conciencia.

La Experiencia en Kaphrao Express: Más Allá del Plato

Visitar Kaphrao Express es más que simplemente comer; es embarcarse en un breve viaje sensorial. Desde el momento en que uno cruza el umbral, el aire se impregna con el irresistible aroma del ajo salteado, el chile picante y la distintiva albahaca sagrada. Aunque no se han proporcionado detalles específicos sobre el diseño interior, el concepto "Express" sugiere un ambiente moderno, limpio y eficiente, quizás con toques decorativos que evocan la cultura tailandesa de manera sutil y contemporánea. La atmósfera sería probablemente animada, con el sonido de los woks sizzling y el murmullo de conversaciones.

El menú, aunque centrado en el kaphrao, ofrecería probablemente opciones para personalizar el nivel de picante, una característica esencial en la cocina tailandesa, donde el paladar de cada comensal es único. Desde un "sin picante" para los más sensibles hasta un "thai spicy" para los aventureros, la capacidad de adaptar el plato asegura que todos puedan disfrutarlo a su gusto. La posibilidad de elegir entre diferentes tipos de carne o una opción vegetariana también ampliaría su atractivo.

Para los visitantes de Costa Mesa, Kaphrao Express representaría una parada ideal para una comida rápida pero sustanciosa entre actividades. Después de un día de compras en South Coast Plaza, una visita a un museo local o una tarde en la playa, un plato de kaphrao caliente y lleno de sabor es la manera perfecta de reponer energías. La eficiencia del servicio permitiría a los comensales disfrutar de una experiencia culinaria auténtica sin sacrificar tiempo valioso.
