user_088f1dVerified Diner Dined on Mar 6, 2026The hot mess cheeseburger from Jack in the box is a new menu item, and it is legit. I appreciated how the jalapeños were interlaced within it, helping add to the “spicy” flavor this burger is supposed to have. I noted that with all the layers stacked into it, the taste of the jalapeños get somewhat lost. It was still spicy, but I felt it could’ve used even more jalapeños. I also love a burger with melty, loose cheese like this one. All around, the hot mess cheeseburger did not disappoint
