Chronic Tacos has become one of those reliable spots where I know I'm going to leave happy. The food is consistently fresh, there are plenty of ways to customize your meal, and the service has always been incredibly friendly whenever we stop in. Everything I've had here has been great, but the shrimp is easily the standout for me. It's juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of those proteins that I have a hard time not adding to whatever I order. Case in point: the custom nachos in my photo. I went with both carne asada and shrimp, and that combination absolutely worked. The juices from the shrimp pair perfectly with the carne asada, salsa verde, and queso blanco sauce. You get the richness from the beef and queso, some brightness and heat from the salsa verde, and then that juicy shrimp brings everything together. It's a loaded plate, but somehow I had no problem making my way through it. If you're trying Chronic Tacos for the first time, I'd recommend going one of two ways: build yourself a carne asada and shrimp nacho plate like this one, or grab the Surf & Turf Burrito. Either way, don't skip the shrimp. The only thing worth keeping in mind is the seating. There isn't a ton of space inside, so a party larger than four will probably be more comfortable on the outdoor patio, which is shared with the neighboring restaurant. It's never been enough of an issue to take away from the experience for me, but it's good to know before showing up with a bigger group. Between the consistently fresh food, friendly service, and some seriously good shrimp, this Chronic Tacos stays firmly in my rotation. read more

Good service - good food - nice staff. Prices were a little High and salsa not too spicy unfortunately. Will go back!

This joint manages to elevate the humble potato taco, and my taste buds are grateful. Texturally and flavor-wise, these potato tacos are a delight. They're crunchy, creamy, zesty, and a touch spicy (depending on your toppings) all at the same time. Compared to Taco Bell's potato taco, which uses fried potato cubes, Chronic Taco's is far superior. The latter uses a mashed potato base for a nice textural contrast to the crunchy shell, and the fresh veggies trick you into thinking you're eating something relatively healthy. And they top off them off with a squeeze of lime, and that seriously makes all the difference. read more

Great food service was good also I will recommend the chronic fry's substitute chicken

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. 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. Please please please do NOT stop serving your corn (I always add the extra $ for corn in all my burritos/bowls. If you love super spicy food, their habanero pineapple sauce will burn oh so much!!... Next time I request it, I'll remember to just get a dab of it. We also enjoy their churro bites with caramel sauce. Keep up the great work, everyone. read more

I had a bad experience once at another location so I wasn't expecting much when I first walked into this location (HB). Came in on a Saturday right before the dinner rush (~5pm) and the worker came to assist me almost immediately. I ordered their bowl-rito and got to customize my own bowl. The one thing that stuck out was they had tomatoes by itself separately along with their signature pico de Gallo. I try to avoid having onion breath so that was a nice option to have. The place is small, maybe five 4-top booth and a couple high stool bar tops suitable for parties of two. They got a couple tvs so you can watch some sports while dining. The interior artwork and music are the vibes and a great place to grab a quick bite if you're in the neighborhood. read more

I was waiting in line for 15 minutes. They served the last Carne Asada to the guest in front of me. They gave them way more than what they needed and left me with absolutely nothing. It's only 10:20 PM. They close at 11 when I went up next they were out. I heard the employee tell the customer in front." oh I'll just give you the rest of the meat." literally I left with nothing and waited for absolutely no reason they had one protein left and still 40 minutes open read more

Everyone lives Chronic Tacos that's a fact. Did you know that they have something called Churro Bites? OMG!! That's all I have to say about that. If you have not yet had them you are missing out! Everything else was awesome! My wife's burrito was "HUGE" Yes that's what she said! I ordered a chicken bowl and it was yummy, The chips and queso was fire and the guy next to me ordered the Chronic Fries and all I can say is that's what I'm getting next time we come here. Great service and yummy food. Oh yea and the Churro Bites are to die for!! I did not order breakfast but a looked over the menu and it looked really good. I think we will be having breakfast here soon. Go in and get a toco and a bag of Churro Bites and please tell them that Costa Mesa Dave sent ya. read more

Love Chronic! We eat here like once a week and it never disappoints. The food is fresh, great quality, generous portions, and the service is excellent. There are patio tables to sit at outside. These guys are always working fast to get all the orders out- they work hard and make some great food. We get the chorizo and egg breakfast tacos on corn tortillas with guacamole, cheese, and cilantro crema. Best ever, and affordable too! Thanks, Chronic! See you next week! read more

!! Check in for 10% off !! I came by Chronic Tacos with a friend after work, and oh my goodness what a nice place! The interior was clean, and it kind of gave The Taco Stand vibes for interior design (if that makes sense). It's a build your own taco/burrito place, so think of a more authentic feeling Chipotle. The service was really speedy and nice! My friend's order took a little longer than mine because they were cooking up the impossible meat & the shrimp I think, but we still got our food within like 5-7 minutes, so I'll call it a win! I got a carne asada burrito and it was around $12. I only really ate half of it, so I feel like the price point is really affordable. I believe you can also make any menu item a combo for the added chips & salsa plus a drink. The cashier and the staff members were all really nice and really quick! I don't think they knew about the yelp check-in offer because when I showed the cashier, he looked really confused, but he honored it for me anyway which was really nice. All in all, a very nice spot! The food was really tasty, I'll definitely be back in the future. read more

Chronic Tacos - Al pastor & fish taco & burrito - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Honestly if I could do 0 stars I would. This guy had to of been under the influence or something because he ruined my order.. it doesn't even look appetizing. All of the contents in the nachos came out of the container that he didn't close and so I'm basically eating out of the bag right now. Although Chronic taco is good. I didn't intend eating it caveman style tonight. It's too bad because I normally get really good service here but this guy was not representing their good service tonight unfortunately. See the picture to understand what I'm dealing with.. read more

The hubby and me tried Chronic tacos for the first time. I was looking for a good fish and a shrimp taco. The fish taco had too much Baja sauce and three very small peices of grilled fish about "half" the size of chicken nuggets. The flavor was bland too. The shrimp taco was a bit better but was not filled with shrimp very well either. My husband ordered a Carne asada burrito, he said there was definitely more rice and beans than meat. He said the flavor was just ok he wished the protein to carb ratio was the opposite of what he got. Once and done, sorry Chronic tacos, I wanted to like you read more

Sergo was friendly and nice. Food was good, at a reasonable price. I will be returning!

Burrito was tasty and filling. Service was nice and they were helpful with suggestions

I stopped in here yesterday after getting a facial. This was my first time so I wasn't sure what to order. The worker was patient and didn't rush me. I ended up ordering a small shrimp burrito. I couldn't decide on the red or green salsa, so I got both. I got chips and salsa as well. As they were preparing the food I could tell the food was definitely fresh. The price was reasonable as paid about $13 for everything. I sat outside and ate, I was definitely not disappointed. The food was delicious. It was so good I forgot to take a picture. I ate everything and it was filling. I had to go back in and tell them how delicious the food was and that I'd definitely be back. I decided on the green sauce as my salsa for next time. I'll definitely be back. read more

The carne asada was so overcooked it was dried and hard. I had to keep drinking water to soften it and swallow.

I like going here because it's close to where I live and convenient! Their California Burritos are huge and have plenty of filling. I always get a side of sour cream to go along with it. Their chips and salsa are always a good side as well! The chips aren't always the freshest but they're not horrible either. I do prefer Chipotles chips more though. I usually get their horchata, there have been a few times it didn't have much flavor so I'm not sure if their machine wasn't mixing it thoroughly. Customer service is usually pretty good. It's a hit or miss if I get someone who is friendly or someone who clearly doesn't care much for their job. Chipotle is a better option in my opinion but Chronic Tacos isn't bad for when I want something similar, but don't want to make the drive! read more

To whom this may concern: While I appreciate the response to my review, I did drop you a line and have heard nothing back. Can someone please check their inbox and respond to my now 2 messages sent within the last ~2 weeks? If you're not going to provide the support don't provide an invitation.

I use to love going here but every time I use my credit card at this location my card ends up being charged more than I agree to. I have always had a great experience with the staff and the food is great but when this happened the first time I stopped going there for months out of discomfort. I tried again today. I swipped my card for roughly $14.. tax included. I don't tip as it was take out and when I got home my credit card essentially said $17. i even went online to do the exact same order to compare and it came up to $14 tax included. Not sure if there is some extra charge i was unaware of but this is the 2nd time this has happened. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend using a debit or credit card at this location as Im sure no one would be comfortable agreeing to one price swiping.. going home and seeing they were charged extra. No matter the amount its the principle. read more

We have been looking for a quick but tasty Mexican place food place and we have found it! The service is very quick, and everything is made to order. You can customize tacos, burritos, bowls and my favorite the fries. My wife and kids came here for a late lunch on a Wednesday and it was a little busy. They move through the line pretty quickly so we were able to order with little to no wait. I ordered the bowl with Carne asada and my wife got the chronic fries. The bowl was very tasty but I could have used a little more meat to make it over the top. I didn't get that much in my bowl. I also loved their chipotle mayo sauce. I didn't put it in the bowl and got it on the side to taste but it was delicious. It gave my bowl a little spice and a lot of flavor. My wife got the chronic fires and that was BOMB! She's gotten that twice now and I always try something else. Going forward, I'm getting the fries. They were thin fries but not too crispy once the cheese was melted on top. Even with all the toppings and sauce, the fries didn't get all soggy but kept their firmness which was great. That's my favorite. Definitely will get that one next time! Great place to check out if you're in Huntington Beach wanting some good food. read more

Taco tuesday tacos were decent and affordable. But the asada had no flavor so u had to depend on salsa (which was not hot)
