I was searching this stretch of PCH for a good breakfast burrito and was glad to land here. My carne asada breakfast burrito was delicious and fresh with a hot egg, tater tots, carne asada, fresh salsa, and nice sprinkle of cilantro. One of the freshest I've had in a long time. read more

Chronic Tacos - Exterior - Mexican Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

Very average. This is a regular Mexican-American take-out lunch counter with tacos, burritos, etc. Walk in, and they assemble it in front of you while other guys prep in the back. Always busy during lunch, but they move fast. Depending on your luck, the quality of ingredients and portion sizes vary - but most likely if you have high standards and are looking for fresh, flavorful "authentic" Mexican food, this will be disappointing for you. Protein choices are typical beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp recipes with sides of beans, rice, vegetables, salsa, cilantro, all served from warmer trays. Taste is super mid, and can be bland or dry on a bad day. Their Baja sauce adds some flavor. Again, inconsistency in quality, so it's kind of a gamble. Prices are reasonable for this location. If you just need a quick fill up during lunch it's totally fine. Not really bad, but totally forgettable. read more

Quick lunch on our way to Little Corona Del Mar Beach. When it comes to tacos, I always like to get beer-battered shrimp tacos but they only have grilled ones so I thought why not. Also, we got the carnitas tacos, and al pastor bowl. The food doesn't seem like anything special, aesthetic-wise but they were all flavorful. I was especially surprised by the grilled shrimp tacos, the shrimp were not stinky and were cooked to perfection, not rubbery at all. Service was pretty quick. It's a very small spot with a few seating table outside. read more

Takes forever. They only have one kiosk to order from and then on top of that they take FOREVER to make your food. I swear it took us at least 45 minutes just to get our food from ordering. I will never ever go to chronic tacos again. They also have it set to boiling in the restaurant itself so you sweat to death whilst ordering and waiting for your order. Not worth it for chronic tacos. You're better off going anywhere else on the peninsula. read more

decent food that can be better. employees will have a poor attitude in which i will never return again

We enjoy everything we've tried at a variety of Chronic Tacos venues locations: tacos, bowls, taco salad she'll bowls (personal favorite) and small burritos. In my opinion, their ingredients are so flavorful and so fresh. I hope they never remove that street corn either- as it's one of my favorite ingredients to request in my burritos and bowls. (corn is extra $) A slight repeat of my review at the HB location, but I appreciate that their locations are consistent fresh ingredients and welcoming staff. First off, I am so late to visiting Chronic Tacos venues. I finally understand the fandom with Chipotle's- because as big a fan one may be with that spot, I am equivalently obsessed with CHRONIC TACOS! They make my small burritos perfectly no matter which location I've been to. Staff are always incredibly kind and seem so positive and welcoming, no matter how insanely busy they are. Their ingredients are by far, so much better than the other burrito/bowl/taco venues. If I am not at a Chronic Tacos at least once-a-day, then I must have missed a meal for a good reason. Love their Baja sauce and their Al pastor. We also enjoy their churro bites with caramel sauce. Keep up the great work, everyone. read more

Easy place to go to when not sure what to cook. I like the carne asada tacos. Service is great, quick and friendly. It's a chill place, nothing fancy, but easy in and out. read more

Really good food after a long day at the beach. I got the shrimp taco and the asada taco with a side of the esquite. Fast and fresh food and great service. read more

I must say Chronic has always been a good go to quick meal but yesterday the steak taco meat quality was excellent much improved !!!!! The new secure packaging makes confidence in safety a big plus. Thank you staff and management. read more

I don't understand how this place has anything above 2 stars. How can you have chicken with zero flavor, rice that is clearly old and dry, AND be stingy with your portions? I had to ask for triple chicken just to get a regular amount for an adult, now I'm wondering what the kids meal looks like, it's probably one piece of chicken between two halves of one tortilla chip. I'd rather have taken the 20 dollars it took for that bowl and given it to a homeless person. At least the crack they'd buy with it would have more flavor. read more

Used Uber Eats to get Taos delivered. DO NOT order take out at this place. My tacos came with 1/2 a tablespoon of meat and it look d like all the scraps of unwanted meat. Beware when order takeout here.... Expect zero quality. read more

Great tacos/burritos. Got the taco plate with chicken and surf&turf and breakfast burritos. All excellent, great customizable choices. Most importantly, got amazing service from Victor. This is a man who believes in his product and wants his customers to experience it the best way possible. Not from the area but will definitely be back if we're around! read more

The food is always good here but I feel like they skim out on the meat and rice for my burrito. The service is whatever just in and out 10/10. I also try out the peach tea it's pretty good, I recommend it for any tea lovers. read more

Chronic Tacos - Peach tea - Mexican Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

Several months back, we ate at this Chronic Taco location and it was fantastic. Last three times (including today) were very disappointing. Carne Asada and chicken were both very dry - carne asada was also way too salty. Three visits all with same results - we won't be coming back. Crew was very nice and it is a fun, funky location on PCH in the middle of everything. read more

You gotta check this gem out. Been coming here for years. The place has been consistently great. Great food, fast and friendly service. Expect long lines during peak times but the lines move fast so don't be shy about jumping in on the end. My go to is the chicken tacos and a side of fries. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful. The fries are always cooked just right. Carne Asada is my second go to. Equally delicious. My wife usually chooses taquitos or the crispy shredded beef tacos. I haven't ordered a breakfast burrito or a California style burrito yet but it seems like every time I am there someone is ordering them. Definitely a must try if you're in the mood for fast and delicious Mexican deliciousness. read more

I wrote my review because Chronic should have a loud political stance with its stickers. I got a really nice reply about being unaware of the stickers and taking them down. It was super professional and appreciated, and I was absolutely going to go back. I'm unsure of why that got deleted, or why the business owner (potentially a different owner of the business?) decided to update their comment to something very rude. It's in poor taste, and the locals are right. Everyone knew the guy who took over wasn't a great guy and he just showed his true colors. Instead of taking an empathetic route, he took a pathetic one, and one that doesn't understand the nuances behind the sticker and how it makes some of his customers feel very unwelcome. Shame on him. read more

The California burritos and fish tacos are out of this world. The burrito with carnitas and those fries...Fire.

Hands down Chronic Tacos CDM has the best shrimp tacos in SoCal!! I've been on a very long hunt for the best shrimp tacos and they have my vote time and time again. Their salsas and guacamole are very fresh and flavorful! Chuy, Pablo and Andres make us feel like family and give us a warm welcome every time! They are always accommodating and make delicious food! Well worth it! read more

Chronic Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

This food is always incredible. We've gone to other locations and it's consistently the same greatness. I don't have any photos because whenever we get here we're so starving and we just scarf it down. Honestly, the meals are so big. I was getting a burrito and it's enough for 2 people. At this location, I don't believe I saw a restroom. It was more like a counter and some outdoor seating. Which was good because we had a puppy with us. read more

This team is always a delight. I always have GREAT service, here. Thanks for the personalized service, guys.

Really freaking good food. Staff was so kind and that carne asada! Delicious! Please come to Utah! Best tacos ever!

The tacos were decent. The meat was seasoned well, but the flour tortillas were just okay. Service was good and the line moved quickly. There's a decent amount of seating but I think it's best for takeout. read more

Chronic Tacos - Online order pick up - Mexican Near Me - Corona Del Mar, California

I didn't enjoy my food here, despite other people recommending it. We were stopping at the florist in the same lot, and I thought Chronic would be a quick easy take out lunch. I brought it back to work, and it was pretty terrible. The tacos were bland, the rice was hard and inedible. Won't be back. read more

We were able to grab a quick bite at chronic taco before watching the sunset at Newport Beach Pier. The service was good, the place was hopping and the atmosphere was a little harried but the food was good. I loved the choices in the menu and the many ways to personalize your meal. read more

Pablo, Kobe, Luis, and Jesus are the dream team! I've only been to this location twice , but they have always treated me and my family of 5 like family!

Tony played along and humored me. I got the surf & turf dressed up just perfectly. 10/10 recommend. straight orgasm in my mouth. sorry. not sorry. it's the best way to describe it! it was all i needed in my life right now, lol. read more

We got chronic tacos for our team and the tacos were a bit underwhelming. They were jam packed with rice, but very little meat. Their special sauce is on the spicier side, so I would caution that. The workers weren't too helpful when we came to pick up the food either. read more

Craving tacos after a long day at the beach. Hard to find good taco spots these days but decided to give this place a try due to the good reviews. So glad we did! Everything was great. From the service to the food. Great portions for the price. Even my picky eater toddler ate her pollo asado burrito and loved it. 10/10 recommend. read more

I've come here for a long time. The staff is friendly. Food is always quick and bomb. I love their salsas. I usually get a burrito or 2 taco plate. We had the churros for the first time today and they were so crispy and warm. It's just a fun vibey environment, especially this location. I love seeing family's in line to grab their fix and it's a nice corner location. It's enjoyable to eat outside and people watch on pch and at the flower shop and nearby spots. I grew up on Chronic so it's always been a cozy spot to me. read more
