For years, I never go to Chronic Tacos because I wasn't sure if their foods were any good. We've have had Chronic Tacos lately at the office and it was good so I decided to give this place a try. The food here is delicious! We ordered the breakfast bowls with chicken tonight and we were so glad we came here. Breakfast bowl came with eggs, tots, your choice of one protein, rice & beans and all the greens you want. ;) We added red bell peppers at home. It was an excellent dinner. Service was good. All employees were nice and efficient. The restaurant was clean. read more

This place is alright, it's not amazing, and not bad. Think of Chipotle, but a step down from there. They have some decent options, and a soda machine that does all the flavors. They also have breakfast burritos, which is a nice plus. Overall, the meat is well done, which isn't bad, but not great. It's nice that they are open most days even on holidays when other places are not open. read more

I usually enjoy Chronic Tacos, but this Laguna Niguel location was a huge disappointment. I placed an order, and first of all, my order kept getting delayed. When I eventually got there, I found out my food had been given to someone else. The staff tried to fix it quickly (props for that), but in their rush, they left the tater tots out of my breakfast burrito and forgot my guacamole order. The food also looked kind of messy. On top of that, this location doesn't offer egg whites like the Costa Mesa location, which is a bummer. Trying to order electronically is also a pain--this seems to be an issue at all Chronic Tacos locations. Chips were also stale. Overall, this spot just doesn't do it for me. Definitely not going back. read more

Tacos catered for a recent local training event. I was not the one who ordered them, but was one of the attendees who enjoyed the food from Chronic Tacos so I hope you have a chance to go back and try it on my own and try a few more of the delicious looking menu items. read more

I was there a month ago, the one in my hometown closed down for good because of the conditions, so I stopped off the I-5 Freeway South and took the turn off wanting to try the place, it took me awhile but I finally found it. And I gotta say IT WAS THE BOMB!!! I found out who the owner was and I was hoping I'd see him because I wanted to tell him about the encounter I had with his brother in late 2011 but I was bummed he had left by the time I got there but the Tacos were AWESOME!!! And so was the service. I hope to get up there again someday!!! read more

The service is 10/10 very welcoming and friendly. Really good chronic tacos, the salsas are well made. You get your tacos nice and served, you get what you paid for, which is a full taco with meat and not just little pieces of meat. The environment is also well lit, clean and great music. My family and I really enjoyed our tacos. We will definitely come back. read more

Chronic Tacos - Carne asada tacos and carnitas tacos - Mexican Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Met the owner, great guy with young children in town. Cares deeply about the community and feeding hungry patrons. Food is delicious, healthy, and fresh. Enjoyed the California and Surf and Turf burrito. Yum! read more

The food is delicious, the service is friendly. I love that I can pick out exactly what I want on my taco without having to ask for extra things or tell them not to put certain things on it. Ambience is what is expected from this type of food establishment. Not here for the ambience, I'm here for the food. Price is reasonable and portion size is decent. Will be back again and again and again! read more

Chronic Tacos in Laguna Niguel never disappoints. The guys working there are always super nice, welcoming, and genuinely seem to care about the customers. It makes a big difference when you walk into a place and feel appreciated. The food is outstanding every single time. Everything tastes fresh, well-prepared, and packed with flavor. Whether it's tacos, burritos, or bowls, you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. Great service, great vibe, and consistently great food. This is definitely one of our go-to spots, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Underwhelming. I expected much better based off its reviews. First off, this is basically a small Chipotle. Second, the ordering process is not clear. Their menu does not match how you will order. For example, we ordered the Chronic Fries. They asked us what meat we wanted but the menu already had a meat chosen. Then they asked us about toppings but I had ordered it expecting the same toppings. The menu never mentions rice and beans in the ordering process but it is and it caught us off guard. Third, the food is meh. It's not nearly as good as the plethora of Mexican food available in the area. The fries in particular weren't good. And the bowl we ordered was just average. Lastly, the gentleman working on the line putting our order together was so rushed but there was like nobody there. Because the ordering process was confusing, we needed time to think. Nobody was mean but the vibe was not welcoming. read more

ROMERO IS THE BEST BOWL / BURRITO MAKER! Im vegetarian so he made sure to pay close attention to my order! He has high energy and is so friendly that he asked about my day. I even tried a little of the habanero salsa and it was so good! The amount of food you get for the price is amazing deal! My go - to food spot when I'm in the area! read more

I stopped by Chronic Tacos yesterday and got their 2 taco plate, baja style. I chose to get al pastor for the meat and it was topped with lime, cabbage, cheese, pico de gallo & baja sauce. It also came with rice, beans! While the rice and beans were average, I really enjoyed my tacos. They filled me up and kept me satisfied. I loved the toppings and I could tell the meat was freshly prepared. The employees were kind, and prepared my meal quickly. There is a lot of seating inside the restaurant, and the music adds a fun vibe! read more

Great tacos! I've never had tacos from here and didn't know what to expect. I ordered for pickup and it was ready pretty quick. It was a bit like Chipotle but way better. I had the al pastor burrito and it really hit the spot. I'd be back next time I'm hangry and this is nearby. The burrito was massive! read more

Bought food to go so I didn't tip. Well they fraudulently charged me $2 more and for a $13 bowl to $15! Didn't find out about it until I left, so I think they intentionally wait a while to charge you. Very dishonest! read more

Starting off by saying I had not been to a Chronic Tacos in a long time. Needless to say, this was my last time. I got a chicken quesadilla and chips and guacamole. The chicken is absolutely overcooked, was hard on the ends and has no flavor in the quesadilla and the tortilla was hard like it was old not overcooked as well. Guacamole is subpar at best as well. read more

I went to Chronic Taco for the first time, my food is delicious and very fresh! I like how they prepare the food in front of you and ask you what you want. And, the gentlemen working there were very pleasant. The to go margaritas are excellent as well. I ordered my food to go, so I did not sit there and eat. Although, I did enjoy the music. read more

Everything. Really good food. They need to be in more areas. They will do great no matter what.

This place was a little confusing with their ordering process. The food was worth it. I ordered a 2 plate taco dish with the vegan meat and churros. The sauce is good and spicy. I would go here again! There are only a few seats outside. The space inside is cramped. read more

Tried Chronic Tacos for the first time today. Wasn't a bad lunch wasn't the best lunch either. Had a chicken burrito, similar to chipotle just with a slight edge. I can't say I'd revisit this place but I can say that I'd suggest them as an option if someone is hungry. read more

I came a For a drink. While telling the cashier what I wanted to drink a lady walked him with her phone in her hand. He decided to stop helping me and turned his attention to the lady who walked in after me, he stopped talking to me and proceeded to help her. He looked for her order handed her the order and then decided to come back to help me. Mind you he didn't say a word to me or tell me to give him a second to see what the lady wanted. Who ever your cashier is on Thursdays at 3:45 should be sent to training. Pollo loco will do next time. read more

Chronic Tacos - $4.50 drink - Mexican Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

It seems that the employees that make and pack the take out orders never read the instructions because I never got my Baja side sauce and my dry burrito and tacos definitely needed it. Not to mention all the sauce cups they offer are extra cost on Postmates. Never a single napkin in the bag either. So frustrating read more

Food is good; service was also good. A little surprising considering that it's located in a shopping mall.

Came In for California burrito and surf/turf burrito. Both were delicious and fresh. The green salsa was also incredible. Prices were kinda high but that's sort of everywhere now. Would recommend read more

Food was delicious. Loved the ambiance and service. Definitely will recommend. I loved the carnitas plate.

Chronic Tacos - Drink - Mexican Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Opening up its doors in Newport Beach 2002, Chronic Tacos has been cranking out Mexican grub made with fresh ingredients and rich, zingy flavors. I first learned of Chronic Tacos when I was in college and maybe tried it... once? I'm now what others consider somewhat of an adult and it was time to try them out again. THE FOODS | Tacos, burritos, nachos, etc. We like being able to customize our meals and so the following ensued... - Build Your Own Burrito | Al pastor, spanish rice, refried beans, cheese, onion, cilantro, lime, lettuce, and cabbage. Creamy, spicy baja sauce is thrown into the burrito, and I added sour cream ($0.54 extra) for good measure. It's got all the flavor components of a great burrito, but found the al pastor to be a little on the dry side. It seems leaner cuts of meat were used, which isn't a deal breaker; I just expected a little more fat content. - Nachos | Al pastor, refried beans, cheese, onion, and cilantro on top of crunchy tortilla chips. Salsa verde (medium) and salsa roja (hot) side sauces give this dish an extra bit of spiciness; complimenting the al pastor's savory/sweet flavors. Again, the only downside is the slightly dry meat. - Tortilla Chips with Guacamole | Crunchy warm chips with a side of freshly made guacamole. Always a great combination and loved the avocado chunks found throughout. THE ORDERING LOGISTICS | Ordered through UberEats and had it delivered. WOULD I COME BACK? | Yes. Chronic Tacos are all about living that #tacolife and I need to try their tacos next time around. read more

I've only eaten here a few times and I decided to give it another try when I heard from a friend it had improved a little with new ownership. I have to say - the food definitely tastes better and even healthier. You can see the changes made inside as well (love the gallery wall!) and the employees are so friendly! The Baja sauce is amazing!! My only "complaint" would be with the online ordering - the captcha seems to take longer than other websites - but I recognize why it's necessary! 5/5 stars for food, atmosphere, convenience and pricing! read more

Chronic Tacos - Love the vibe here - even if I'm picking up a quick order. - Mexican Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

I used to eat at CT all the time because there were a couple of locations near me, sadly, they closed......BUT, when I discovered there was one next to my puppy's groomer, I had to take my kids!! I was craving their chicken tacos so badly but when I walked in, I was heartbroken to see they no longer have their amazing all white meat chicken breast! This is why I don't eat at Chipotle and was ecstatic to hit up Chronic Tacos!!! So hard to find all white meat chicken breast and I just don't understand why they changed it! read more

Third time coming back here after a while to give it a try again, see if they changed/or my experience was different than how I set it out to be but now I know for sure as I'm writing this and eating. . . First of, the carnitas was dry and really salty, even adding the salsas did not help. For the price of 4 carnitas tacos, my grandma can make it better! Carne asada was actually pretty ok, I'd order it again. It's tender too which is nice, not dry. Al pastor was decent too, I like it. Service was really nice, and always has a clean interior. read more

Chronic Tacos never disappoints! From the California burrito to the quesadillas and chicken bowls, everything is fresh and made to order. The staff is always helpful and attentive, and the food hits the spot every time. Do yourself a favor and check it out... you won't be disappointed read more

First time eating from Chronic Tacos. Disappointed. Ordered from Uber eats and the burritos were luc warm at best . Ordered two of them mild and two spicy. They were mislabeled. The mild ones were dry. Very dry meat. Overall disappointed. Probably would have had better experience eating in the restaurant. But nearly cold burritos and labeling the wrong burritos.. not good. First impressions are important. And people make mistakes. But when a restaurant charges delivery fees and then delivers cold and mislabeled food, what was the purpose of that fee?? don't expect return business. read more

This was my first time stopping at this location but it's now my go to spot. I ordered a surf and turf burrito that was a tad messy but on point in the flavor and quality departments. I spoke with the owner briefly and it was clear that he cares about his business. Something I always appreciate seeing in a small place. read more

As always, never disappoints! Employees are the best as well. This location is unbeatable read more

Delicious food and the service was excellent, Ricardo and Hector were especially kind to us. When I said cheese on the burrito and my son said no cheese. I said you'll just have to deal with the cheese and they said no it's OK. We're gonna make him another burrito! I said they didn't have to do.. but they insisted, we will definitely be back and the food was really good too! read more

My wife and I just enjoyed another great meal. Can't say enough about the quality of the food, hot, fresh and ample portions. Overall great for the price. Staff always friendly and professional. Place is always clean.... Definitely will come again, sooner than later read more

The food was great. Although after we took the food out of the bag and opened the Chronic fries that had a lid on it, mid way through eating I bit down on a staple that was in the food. Luckily I didn't swallow it on accident and it didn't cause any damage. I've tried to call multiple times to talk to someone about this but they don't seem to pick up their phone. Never coming back here again and stay away at all costs if you value your own safety! read more
