Burrito Bowl with Pork
Brenda K.

I went here for a quick lunch and saw Burrito Bowl for $10.75. I know some food vendors sell amazing or at least an average food, but this was so much worse. Dry clumpy rice and the meat was overcooked. I wonder if complaint is not needed for the price tag though. Never had problems when I ordered my food at Chipotle, and there isn't much good things to say. Food seemed okay on my last visit though. Staff was helpful and friendly, but the food was terrible sorry, Chronic Tacos.

I usually don't eat at the mall food court but I was Passing by and noticed they had beyond meat options I asked the employee if they cook the beyond meat with the other meat and they said '"No" so I had the green light. I'm afraid to try it at other places due to the risk of cross contamination. So this was great! I ordered the regular open bowl taco and was able To stay within my dietary limitations; Gluten free, dairy free and meat free. I truly was pleasantly surprised that the food was clean and tasty. Very close to Chipotle, even better.

This is the only Mexican option in the mall. Service was slow with one person making the food and another person at the cash register. I ordered a bowl for about $16 with the guacamole added. I found the rice to be a bit too salty on its own. You really needed the other ingredients to make it more palatable. I wish they had more topping options available. Overall, it was an okay meal.

Decent Mexican option in the Metropolis food court. Parking is available in the Metropolis underground lot. Pricing is a bit expensive at around $10 per item. The burrito is quite filling and hits the spot. Plenty of rice and meat, with a choice of toppings. The thing actually holds together quite nicely. Great taste too. The only difference I could think of is that unlike the standalone locations, this place doesn't serve liquor for obvious reasons. Definitely worth checking out.

California burrito
Kevin M.

Craving for burritos today and decided to grab a quick bite at Chronic Tacos. Food: I bought California burrito, and it was delicious. It is very filling. I would say 4/5 for fast food. It is definitely my top to go places for burrito. Now the food was good, the reason I give 3/5 because of the service. Service 2/5: The young lady that served me was rude. She threw our order on the counter and my wife even informed her that it is not right. When we asked her for a bag it was also being tossed to us. I was a little bit upset, if I wasn't in a rush, I would go to the manager.

This a chain restaurant one on West Broadway and one in metrotown. We went to the one in metrotown located in the food Court. And I love their burritos they are supper satisfying and is only cost around 10 dollars. I can usually only eat around half a burrito. The great thing about this place is that you can customize your burritos. I got a multi grain wrap with Spanish rice, black beans, lettuce, salsa , hot peppers and cheese. I love the different texture and the complex flavor from each component. I am definitely a fan of this place.

Crispy Tots
Vanessa Y.

Was really only here for the tots but decided to get the burrito since they advertise that the burrito has fries in it but sadly... It doesn't so don't be fooled so I ended up spending more than I had to and ordering more food since I really just wanted the fried foods from here. I came on a weekend at dinner time and the food court is packed (as expected). They've only got one person taking your initial order with the next person assembling and the last person at the cash; overall given the space, I can understand why service is quite slow at this place especially with all the options of ingredients and to add this and that to your burrito. The burrito is super filling and the tots were great. You can get the tots loaded up with cheese, salsa and mayo as well. I thought it was all on the side when I said yes a little too quickly before thinking but it definitely adds to the flavor...I'm still team ketchup though. Overall, can finally say I've tried it. Not sure if it's worth it per se as a food court meal since prices can add up quite easily but if you're looking for Mexican in the mall, this is the place to go

Burrito

I had the burrito with spicy pork and it was so delicious! The burritos are huge, so you can definitely share it with someone else.

Super tasty Mexican place N of Central Park on Kingsway. Still remember when this place used to be…read moreGreek (Minoas). Parking is available in the lot behind the building, as well on the side streets. The venue looks like it used to be someone's house. There's even what looks like a living room downstairs. Definitely a strange layout. Not sure what goes on there, but the regular dining room seems to be upstairs. There is a nice large S facing patio and large bar area. The place is brightly coloured, with yellow and orange walls. Staff are friendly. No complaints. I had the alambra carnivoro. This thing is pretty epic. Basically a pile of fajita fillings (meat, peppers, onions, peppers, cheese, and more meat bits) in a pile, served with soft tortillas and a pile of sides (rice, refried beans, salsa,and guacamole). I just sat and stared at the big beautiful dish. Maybe I was super hungry, but it was very delicious. I left satisfied and happy. Definitely worth checking out if one needs a Mexican fix in the area. Recommended.

Came here during the "Bite of Burnaby" promotion. 3 course meal for $35. Good pricing and value. I…read moregot this instead of the Taco Tuesdays special - 3 tacos for $12 - because the BoB menu had enchiladas for the main. I love enchilada and that's always my go to order. For the starter I ordered the Esquites. It was nice but too liquidy after a while. The chicken enchilada with red sauce was ok. The refried beans and rice were not the best I had and that was usually my favorite part. The dessert was Passionfruit cheesecake. Initially they said it was out of stock and would replace with tres leches cake (yay my fave). But they somehow managed to find the Passionfruit cheesecake and served that. It was not good at all. It didn't taste like cheesecake. Good thing that's usually not on the menu. R had the tacos instead. I tried some of that. He got the Birria, asada and pastor. Of those, I prefer the pastor. Very tender and flavorful. The horchata was pretty good but at $7, I thought that was a bit on the high side. We may come back for taco Tuesday ($4 each with min 3 purchased) or burrito Wednesday ($14) in future. I'm glad this place is being used again after the Greek restaurant closed when the owners retired. The layout is still the same. It can get really loud at any of the tables by the speakers. The music kinda drowns out any conversation. Parking is available behind. Walking distance to both Patterson and Joyce skytrain stations. Or there's the bus stop nearby.

Came for something non taco and got the burrito instead. I really wanted the lengua but not sure…read morewhy lengua is offered for tacos and tortas but not burritos. I opted for carnitas. It was dry. I think with the tacos there's a bit of diced onion and tomato on top to compliment the meat. However with the burrito it is pure meat inside. I even tried to put the sour cream, guac, and salsa verde on it but it still was very chewy. I will stick to my lengua tacos. The choriqueso appy was a disappointment. It is super cheesy on top but the bowl is very deep so the rest ot the chorizo under doesnt get any cheese to pair with. The amount of nachos compared to the choriqueso is very little. You basically just have to eat spoonfuls of chorizo at the end. Our friends ordered the steak and the medium rare came medium. It was tough and had a lot of unchewable tendons.

Not so wonderful as my previous visit to this restaurant. Why? Because of my mortal…read moreenemy...Cilantro! Why, why, why do so many foods have to have cilantro in them? So...I decided to order a Vegetarian Torta. My first time ever ordering Torta in a Mexican restaurant. It was kind of like a more refined version of a Subway sandwich. I asked for "no cilantro" but the server didn't think to tell me that there would be cilantro in the guacamole. So while they didn't garnish the sandwich with cilantro, there was still cilantro in it because they had put guacamole in it. When I say "no cilantro" you should realize that if there's some kind of condiment that goes into the sandwich and has cilantro in it, then my "no cilantro" request is going to apply to that condiment too and so you should alert me to that so that I might be able to choose something else from the menu. So after waiting and waiting for my order, and then biting into it...I discovered the cilantro in the guacamole. I ended up sending the Torta back and ordering something else. I ordered a Mushroom Quesadilla. This time, having complained about the previous server not having told me about there being cilantro in the guacamole, they had the presence of mind to tell me that the mushrooms were already mixed in with cilantro. Upon hearing this, I then modified my order to a plain cheese Quesadilla. Quite a drag cuz it was a late dinner already, so I was quite hungry. Other people at the table ordered tacos and Monster Quesadillas. If you don't have an aversion to cilantro like me, then you're more likely to have an easier time with the menu and enjoy pretty much anything at this restaurant. Minus any cilantro problems, portions are large and food is very good. Oh yeah...and they do a nice Horchata. Just a shame for people like me, that a lot of their foods have cilantro mixed into them already.
