The staff here was friendly, the service being quick, and the place was clean, that's why it gets an extra star. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. I have been a fan of chronic tacos since they opened in Newport Beach, frequenting their Huntington Beach locations, and even having stopped by this location over a year ago. I'm sad to say the quality of food has drastically diminished. I ordered 2 grilled fish tacos, a chicken taco and a potato taco. To drink I went with my usual, horchata. Nothing was good, in fact it was gross. My two buddies I got to come here with me tonight now said I've lost all credibility with taco shops. The tortillas were stale and hard. The chicken was soupy as grease poured out of the taco and soaked the tortilla, though still not making the tortilla soft enough to bite through which was odd. The potato taco tasted like their chips, burnt and stale. The fish tacos were fishy and funky with the Baja sauce tasting more like mayo. Overall this experience was so off putting that I won't be coming back. It reminded me of the chronic tacos in Arizona years ago, a night and day difference from the older Orange County locations which were much better. I had to apologize to my 2 guests and now owe them lunch somewhere else to make up for this terrible experience. To top it off, 4 tacos and a drink was over $30! Guacamole used to be included in fish tacos, but apparently now they charge over dollar per taco for a tablespoon of guacamole. Well that's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating, but not here. read more

Decided to get this spot for lunch after not having been here in years. The two ladies at the front were quick and efficient. I felt a bit rushed by them when we walked in though because I wanted to see their menu more & they both seemed impatient even though the business was slow with no one other than us inside. I ended up just getting a bowl with rice and chose my protein and other toppings. The ingredients were fresh but they put the smallest scoops ever. My bowl wasn't even filled halfway it looked. Everything was flavorful at least, their salsa was mixed with too much onions. Price was okay but it felt like I overpaid for what I got. read more

So I came to chronic taco today for lunch. I've never been here before I've seen it. Driving past the mall and I also seen it when I go to the local cupcake store shout out to Nadia cakes in Palmdale California in Jersey Mike's, which is right next-door, which I did get a sandwich from there anyway I ordered a California burrito with chicken no guac and some churros bite first let me tell you about this burrito in the description of California burritos has meat, fries, salsa, guacamole, and lime. This burrito taste like nothing but lime and pico de gallo. The veggies tasted very fresh in the burrito, but that is the only thing that I could taste is salsa, pico de gallo, and lime could not taste the chicken or anything else inside the burrito then I went to try out the churro bites worst churro bite I've ever had. It's still stuck in my tooth and the sauce taste like bottled sauce caramel I would not recommend. in the end I don't know if I'll be coming back to this. I didn't really see anything else on the menu that intrigued me to come back and my first taste was not positive and now my breath stinks thank you. Chronic taco. The service was wonderful. The people behind the counter were very nice. They knew about them menu ambience is pretty cool. It's a really nice restaurant. I can't remember if they have TVs. I'm pretty sure I saw one, but. read more

Man, they are SKIMMPY AF! I ordered a Surf & Turf burrito last night and it was 90% refried beans, 5% sour cream, 3% shrimp, and 2% carne asada. Like wow! You charge $17 for this burrito and you fill it with mostly beans? There was very little and I mean VERY little carne asada in it. I felt as if I paid for a $17 bean and cheese burrito. I am very disappointed by their surf and turf burrito. For that price, I could have went to taco bell and got a lot more and they arnt skimpy on the meat. Chronic tacos is gonna let Taco Bell out do them? It was so little carne asada in the burrito that I couldnt even taste it enough to review it. I should have just asked for a refund. read more

Ordered grubhub for lunch and just paid $17.40 for their surf & turf burrito that was about 90% beans and rice. I probably got one bite of asada and it had maybe 3 shrimp. Also ordered 2 al pastor tacos... Very dry... Flavorless. Will not order from here again. read more

Great job on pick up catering! I ordered taco kits, burritos, rice and beans for a party I was having for my son. They did an amazing job and everything was ready right on time! We had around 60-70 people and everyone raved about the food. It was well-packed, employees were helpful and they added in an enormous bag of tortilla chips (that were delicious- at no charge :) ) I would highly recommend and they are competitively priced! read more

We've been coming to Palmdale/Lancaster for years for sports and always wanted to try this place and for some reason never made it in. Well, we finally had time to try it today and it did not disappoint! I had a small shrimp burrito and my husband had a small carne asada burrito and they were both excellent and more than enough food. The street corn was also awesome. They also have the upgrade coke machine, so the sodas were good. Highly recommend. read more

Terrible food, not fresh and the meat has absolutely no flavor. I would almost recommend Taco Bell over this.

Great service! The Staff member was very friendly and made sure to take care of each customer. I did not feel rushed or made to feel like I was a burden to be there (we know this feeling! Lol) Plus the food was nice and yummy. Thank you! read more

They so rude in there..... I use to love their food but it extremely expensive now the meat portion is a tiny scoop.

Ambiance was nice and its an easy to access location. Staff was rushed and did not make eye contact. They have such a focus (mandated by management) on limiting portions. It was apparent that while quality is still good, management is seeking a higher profit line through less quantity given. My burrito weighed closer to a taquito due to small carne portions. They also would not provide more rice, even though I did not select beans. Cheese was hand put on without measurement when asked to consider to add a bit more, they stated it was an extra $1+. read more

Hard to believe that this place is still in business. I have never seen a supervisor treat their employees with so much disrespect. If it was not for my pregnant wife wanting food from this place would have just walked out. I understand sometimes employees make mistakes especially if they are new but as a supervisor or manager not sure who the lady was. There are ways of handling things and it's not talking to the customers like they are dumb. Don't plan on stepping into this place again. Would have giving 0 stars if I could have. read more

Not much to say here. Mediocre. Bad service. Basic food, just cook at home and save the waste of money.

Not good at all it's all bland best tacos are the taco stand or the trucks better food for your money. This place was dirty and food was not good at all read more

Chronic Tacos - a neon sign for chronic tacos - Mexican Near Me - Palmdale, California

Earlier in the week I came in just to pick up my order, but there was roughly around four or five people and two employees were helping 1 customer. I asked one of the employees I'm here to pick up my order and she tells me I have to wait and she needs to attend other customers first. So why would you guys have an ordering ahead and picking up system if you guys are going make your customers wait.‍‍ read more

I ordered two tacos one carne asada one chicken and when I bit into one it had absolutely no flavor there's nothing exciting about the food as well I won't be back read more

Ok. I found this kinda off putting. I think this was or will be our last time here. So, hubby was with me, I stayed in the car (CTScan), pulled up and hubby runs in to order my nacho's. I had a coupon for a free drink upon check in, sent hubby the screen shot of said coupon. They (Chronic) wanted my cell since I'm the only one using Yelp. And we're in a pandemic, were you planning on touching my cellphone? Yes, I hit the use now and it clearly shows how much time I had left. Screenshot to hubby. Yet when he went back in with my cell and they said because I hit use it now,was a no go on their end. Fact: anything that's ordered from the fountain drink area is around $.50 with the cup. Well Chronic Taco's you may have lost a customer over $.50. ‍ Bad Intel from hubby. Edit in play. A very nice customer in back of hubby nodded when hubby explained how spicy I like my food. I love Ghost Pepper's and some times that's not enough heat for me. Carolina Reaper is awesome tho. ;-) Nice Customer, knew instantly how spicy I like my food. Thank you. This is more about principal, not a soda. For the new girl behind the counter you get 5 stars, to the woman (Manager, who knows) you get minus 5 stars. When you were asked by the young lady on what to do, instead of doing it right as a lead for the person taking orders, you failed the new worker. Please learn the menu and 5 stars for the food as well. BTW: we are in the 100 degrees area and hubby had to go back and forth to me 4X not cool. We may look younger here due to our ethnicity, we are in our mid 50's. First time, "We don't have nacho's" screenshot to hubby's cell from my Yelp account. Wow, magic occurred and suddenly they had nacho's, wrong on Chronic Taco's. 2-3-4 all had to do with the coupon and Yelp, never had this type of issues in the past. You (Female Manager) only had 1 job, train your new people. Try kindness too, like hubby showed you. Some advice, perhaps a change in career is needed. Best of luck to the young lady running the til. Pretty sure you'll be a great manager. read more

Last night I stopped here for dinner and had a California wet burrito.As soon as I entered the building I noticed it was really warm inside especially around the area where food is being served which I thought was a little strange considering produce and dairy are being served. When I got down the line I noticed after I had already asked for lettuce on my burrito that it appeared to be brown and wilted. Furthermore, the sauce on top of my burrito was cold. I ate half of it and decided to take the other half home. It wasn't the best burrito I've had but it wasn't the worst. Anyways about 20-30 minutes after leaving my stomach began to hurt and I ended up vomiting about 6 times on the way home. Luckily, I had an empty Stanley in the car or oh boy! I didn't even get to enjoy my Friday evening because I was sick all night running back and forth to the restroom. Definitely threw out the other half of that burrito!!!! read more

Shout out to Camilla for her amazing customer service! I've been coming for years and have noticed that certain employees are more difficult than others. Camilla is always lovely and does a great job! read more

If I could give zero out of five stars as a rating I would. The customer service was beyond atrocious The employees that attended me in the morning had so much attitude. By far this has to be The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Not only that but the food that I received was unacceptable. The burrito that I ordered had no flavor and the beans were cold. I don't ever recommend anyone coming here if I knew what I was getting into I would've spent my money at McDonald's and save myself the trouble of getting a headache. read more

This is my first review of this place but its not my first visit. I have been going there for almost 5 years. The food is good but it was better and the people there gave larger portions but after covid everything got skimpy. The new faces that I seen the past few times I've been have not done my order right and I had to go back to get it fixed. I gave them 4 Stars because I believe it can get better and be like the old chronic that i used to love to have. read more

Good things about cleanliness. The place was very clean and the staff was very friendly and nice. It's a cool decorated place with outdoor benches (patio) indoor dinning is also available. The food is not "street mexican" the taco trucks have tastier food...(I'm sorry but true) but if you are into the "gringo" style with shredded cheese, sour cream, cabbage and letter options are there for YOU my man! The produce is fresh - they pace is cool to try. As for me, I'll venture to other places and continue my food adventures. Thanks read more

The name caught our attention but the food is less than average. Our first time here and more than likely the last. We ordered the chronic fries and burrito. This almost has a a chipotle type food making process. The food was basic. There was no salt in the fries which is fine for some people although the meat (beef) had no flavor either so I needed that pinch of salt. The toppings were basic. You have to use some kind of sauce to get some flavor. I did like the fact that they offered black beans as an alternative to refried. The burrito was bland. I also ordered the churros which is really good. The customer service sucks! The first young lady we had was awesome then she was doing other things so the others helped. They hate their job. At least that was the attitude. The older lady that checked me out charged me for guacamole but I didn't order it. Didn't even mention it. But whatever. Not impressed by this place. So don't let the name fool you! read more

First off the food preparer was not wearing his mask over the nose. In times of covid this is a big no no The al pastor tacos were good, too bad it was cold by the time I got it and I had been waiting 5 minutes for my burrito to be prepped. I ordered online 10 minutes before I arrived and waited another 5 minutes while they prepped people who had just arriveds food. The asada burrito is bland. Not worth it, portion is large though. The potato taco is good however lacks salsa read more

I remember when Chronic was a small joint that focused on, well, tacos. And big burritos. That was maybe 15 years ago, when I last visited the establishment and it was locally famous. We paid a visit there yesterday, when we were back in the area for a family gathering, and was pretty disappointed. The service was friendly, to be sure. And props for having vegan options. But Chronic is now just another Chipotle Grill / Qdoba knockoff: burritos and tacos are put together assembly line style as guests choose their ingredients. There's nothing that sets it apart any more, there's no charm, just a lot of ingredients stuffed into a giant tortilla. Or a bowl, or whatever Chipotle does. read more
