Lots of seating. Looked to be clean. Service was good but the music was loud which makes it hard to talk to the employees. You order at the counter and carry your order to your table. The carne asada was dry. The chips and salsa I really liked but my wife couldn't eat them because they were very salty. My chicken burrito was very good. I enjoyed my lunch, my wife not as much. The drink fountain was out of coke and root beer. The restroom was very clean. I would still eat here. I would have given it 4 stars but my wife would have kicked me. read more

Was craving mexican food for days now. Glad I found this downtown. I saw someone eating Al Pastor online and naturally wanted to try it. This is fast food and not a full restaurant. Place is clean. Plenty of seats and table. I had the Al Pastor Soft Shell Tacos, with Street Style toppings lime, onions, cilantro, & salsa. I made the mistake of ordering it hot instead of medium cuz I wanted to taste it. It was overpowering so I didn't get to fully enjoy it. Order medium cuz their hot is really hot. Otherwise it looks good paired with rice and refried beans. With a fountain drink it comes down to a little over $18. Not bad. I was full. They have burritos and quesadillas as well. Something to try next time. read more

We went here for dinner and it was pretty easy to find a table. The amount of vegetarian/pescatarian options are super great. The food was delicious, and overall the place was very clean and nice. You order at the counter and bring food to your table. read more

Ignore the haters. If you're dumb enough to expect fresh, hot food from doordash then you don't deserve to leave anyone a rating. In fact, we judge you. That aside, this place is great. Good food with nice folks behind the counter. This is a nice locally owned biz that has earned it's good reviews. It's clean, good and has a cool vibe. Like tacos and burritos, you're in the right place. Been here before, coming back again. read more

This is a great option for Mexican fast food. The food has been fresh in my experience and the service is good. It's a quick option that doesn't feel quite as "junky" as some other fast food spots! #ContestEntry read more

I had a very late lunch here recently and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and service received on my visit. I had the fish burrito on whole wheat, but that's about where the healthy content ended. If you're looking for a healthy meal, I would not necessarily recommend chronic tacos. If on the other hand, you're looking for something tasty and filling, this may be your bag. My burrito was easily enough for two people to share and the Spanish rice and mix of peppers and cabbage ensured it did have some healthy content. The burrito came to just under $15, so while it's not the cheapest around when you consider some of the alternatives in the neighborhood chronic offers good bang for the buck and a comfortable place for a sit-down lunch. The service was friendly and precise and not at all pushy which I appreciate. I found the restaurant to be clean and sparse on my visit. In summary, I wouldn't hesitate to return. There's a lot of burritos places popping up these days, but i think this is one of the better ones all things considered. read more

I love love love chronic tacos , guilty pleasure and reminds me of home being originally from California. This isn't a "traditional" taco join, think California style more so than Texmex. Best carnitas yum! Everything is made fresh which I really appreciate, I've literally watched the chefs chopping up the chicken and cooking down the meats, making the salsas from scratch too. Service is always super quick and friendly and love that they employ a lot of Mexican students so it really feels authentic/quality is there. read more

Wanted a snack and got the chips, salsa and guacamole. The place was quite empty. The guac didn't have much flavour other than salty. Coupled with some chopped tomatoes as the salsa unfortunately didn't quite satisfy me for a tasty snack. I'll be back next time to try a burrito instead. read more

Surprisingly good tacos near Canada Place. Conveniently located near the Waterfront Station of the SkyTrain. You can get tacos, burritos or bowls, with protein choices of pastor (marinated pork), carnitas pulled pork), beef, chicken, or premium steak (added price). I enjoyed the two taco plate with carnitas and pastor. You walk up to the counter to order, and you have a lot of choices in this establishment: white or Spanish rice (recommended), black or refried beans (black were good), and hot or mild salsa (both good). I also enjoyed a Parallel 49 lager on tap, which I believe was brewed in the brewery next door. The servers were nice and helpful, which of course added to the pleasure of the meal. I come through Vancouver a couple of times a year, and am adding Chronic Tacos to my list of good, reasonably priced meal options near the cruise ship terminal. read more

This was by far the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. Ordered off Uber Eats and my salad came soaked in salt water. Not only did it look like it came from the bottom of the kitchen sink, it tasted like it too. I took a photo of what it looked like even after I drained all the liquid out. The lettuce was so soggy you can't even tell it's lettuce. The chicken was so salty all I could taste was salt. I took 2 bites and threw it out. Wasted $30 and scared for food poisoning now. read more

I walked into Chronic Tacos thinking I was going to get a couple tacos. Was standing in front of the menu but couldn't seem to decide what to get. Then one of their staff members saw me struggling then suggested: "I tried the poutine today and it was great. But instead of fries, I got it with tater tots" I can never resist anything deep fried; I knew right away that that's what I wanted to get my hands on. And I did - with guacamole too. $16.80 later I had absolutely no regrets. I mean, it's a little more money than you'd expect to spend at a fast food joint. But let's be honest, who doesn't love some fresh tater tots? The portion's pretty big too. Perfect place for an end of the night snack before heading home from downtown on a Friday night. read more

Chronic Tacos - Tater Tot Poutine with Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My absolute favorite spot to satisfy my taco cravings. I really love their mouthwatering tacos!

Lately the portions have been cut in half and the togo bowls themselves are smaller. Still good food, but no longer worth it for the price.

Similar to Chipotle but I think Chipotle generally wins. Ok for what it is but definitely not good tacos. Mass produced tortillas. Too much stuff getting jammed in the taco, making the eating experience messy and unpleasant. All that gets drowned in way too much sour cream and salsa, to the point I don't even taste the contents of the taco anymore. Note that my bar for tacos is high because I learned what tacos are in Austin, TX. read more

Had the two taco plate. Price includes guacamole, which I didn't want but the price was still the same. The pico de galo has cilantro, which I hate, so my taco was a little plain tasting. Good selection of meat and they filled the taco. Lapse was very friendly, knowledgeable and is a great asset to the business. She deserves a raise. I'll come back here just to be served by her. read more

Love the Chronic... Tacos. This place is a great one to grab takeout and go for a walk or sit by the waterfront. It also has became a bit of a tradition to grab some tacos then go out for a night of drinking downtown. Sure we can't do that now, but I'm sure once we can go back to dancing chronic tacos will come back into my life. read more

Having come from San Diego my whole life and have real Mexicans in my family, it's a fairly decent Taco I wouldn't write home to my mother about it. Definitely way overpriced for the quality I would never go back there again.. I'm not a difficult man to please but two tortillas, pastor or Cabeza, (which you cannot find in this town!) with onions and a bit of hot sauce and get your going to charge me about $4 a taco if not more? Screw you!!..3 bites and its gone..Sal y Limon is even worse!!.. read more

Pretty decent taco place. Last time I went they did run out of rice which kind of sucked but their tater tots are amazingggg I make sure to order them every single time read more

A solid alternative to Chipotle, this location opened in May 2018 and offers indoor and outdoor seating. They seem to be open a lot, even on holidays. I like that they serve fish tacos here, but the actual portion of fish is so small that the taste isn't noticeable enough. A bit pricey for fast food, but the quality is decent and they keep the place relatively clean. It's not life changing--they are convenient and fresh, however. 3.5 stars, but I'm on vacation so I'm being generous. read more

Actually horrible, I tried the tacos and the quesadillas and the produce used seemed very low quality for the price (abandoned mall in Saskatchewan food court Mexican spot quality) The employees were super friendly though so I can't give it 1 star, it's not their fault, the place is cheaping out on the ingredients read more

Kinda like a Chipolate, but this place is better. Surprisingly better. if you are on a crunch for time and don't want so sacrifice taste this is the place for you!! Great Location. Highly recommend!! read more

Be prepared for a loaded taco! I usually need 3-4 tacos at most of the other restaurants in the city for a filling meal. But 1-2 of the tacos from here sets me up! Friendly service too. Worth every penny and more flavourful than Chipotle. Bonus: guac on your taco is NOT extra. read more

Good food but this location has a long ways to go to measure up to Southern California standards. The girl behind the counter should not be working with the public!!! She was rude. She slapped the guacamole on my tacos with attitude. We watched her barking at other guests as we sat and ate our meal. I tried to get her name but register was hiding tag. Good thing I wasn't the mystery shopper! Store was out of forks! They ran out earlier today! read more

Very pleasant and helpful service. Loved the Beyond Meat option for burritos. This is a great place to get takeout and then sit outdoors next to Waterfront Station on a warm summer evening. I'll be back. read more

What a cute spot and the people are very friendly i love their vegitarian burrito it is very filling and tasty

This was absolutely the filthiest restaurant I have ever been to. We went to the Vancouver Chronic Tacos store right after it opened on August 2nd and ordered our tacos. When we went to our seats, we found every single table in the restaurant had crumbs and sticky messes on them. The floors had debris and food everywhere. The bathrooms had overflowing trash cans and a filthy floor including dirty clothes left there! The toilets were unspeakable. Unbelievable that a restaurant could be left that way at the end of the prior day and even more unbelievable that they would open up for business the next day with it in that condition. The staff was totally unconcerned. read more

First time going there, asked for the carnitas and I was given almost none at all. As well as when I ate it I realized it was all fat and gristle absolutely no meat. I had to spit it out and take all the meat out and eat it vegetarian. The burrito was not folded properly so fell apart quickly. Will not be returning. read more

Excellent! Fish taco, steak taco and chicken taco. Queso has a nice little heat. And the black beans and Rice were so so good. We didn't have a bad bite....Shout out to the whole staff. We had our lunch on the patio and watched the crowds for Canada Day. So fun! The pretty blonde girl behind the counter was the best! Thank you! We will be back! read more

Good mexican place but they need to give more guacamole with their wraps, I feel they are very stingy

I ordered the 2 taco plate with refried beans and rice. The portion size was small, however the tacos and sides were flavourful. The option for corn tortillas was a nice touch. read more

If you haven't tried the california burrito, you are missing out! I need at least a couple of these a month. it comes with french fries instead of rice, guac is included and it's absolutely delicious. Tacofino bentall is in my office building, i make the 10 min walk for the cali burrito. seriously, try it. read more

Tacos were rather bland, honestly. Now, I'm a Texan. We eat tacos every day. I guess I was expecting too much, given the reviews. Also, this location didn't feel very clean. Give it a pass, IMO. read more

A great place to grab a quick bite to eat. The service is always fast and the staff is very friendly. It doesn't hurt that the manager is drop dead gorgeous, either! read more

I like this chain, but today at this particular location we met up with a sourpuss. I dunno, she didn't seem like she liked her job. I can understand why. Sometimes when you're occupied with other thoughts, it's hard to concentrate on the job at hand. It's really tough to do that when dealing with the public. Especially if their parents didn't teach them about etiquette or how to deal with people in public. I don't really mind when they take a tantrum on my taco's but I do feel for the poor ingredients, as they only have one path in life and that's to be consumed by humans and ummmm then dumped. So while I feel for the server, I felt more sad for the food. Mexican food to me is fun food. Bright and spicy and full of joy. Usually it goes hand in hand with equally bright and energetic service. Maybe the wrist was a bit sore which was why the guacamole had to be forcefully plopped onto the tacos. The impact of the green avocado's must've turned brown on impact due to the forceful nature it was plopped upon. That aside, my gal pal and I enjoyed our meal. We devoured our tacos and promptly left hoping to evade those laserbeam eye's our server gave us when we were trying to order our ingredients. It's not our fault we're both short and trying to speak into a glass wall that she couldn't hear. Yet I understand. In today's world, this is about all we should get and then just accept and enjoy what we have. Because next time it might not be the taco's. It could be the Burrito's. read more

Finally, a proper fish taco! Delicious battered and supposedly line-caught Mahi Mahi - they said it's sustainably fished but seemed unsure, so it better be! The veg one is also good with the grilled veggies but it would be great if they were more generous with the guacamole and had brown rice. Overall win, though! read more

Loved the customization, especially how cheap tacos are (and filling!). Decor was gorgeous and staff was friendly. Only complaint would be how watery the salsa is; felt like diced tomatoes and juice more than proper salsa. read more

Love this establishment. Great customer service, fresh food and very good hot sauce!!

Uh oh no more grilled fish tacos cause you don't wanna grill them? That's ok I'll go else where from

The food is OK, on par with Chipotle. But they charge $2.75 to add pan fried veggies to your bowl?? Is that some sort of joke? I will continue to go to Chipotle instead... read more

Delicious and malicious. Bowl rito has been my go to but all is good here . Great place to visit for chronics. Reasonable prices . Nice staff and relaxed restaurant. Maybe they are on some chronic taco type stuff . They have a rewards program . If you buy ten burritos you get one free . So it's like spend a hundred bucks and you get 10 bucks back . Better than nothing compared to other places don't do rewards for they're patrons. So enjoy. read more
