    Breakfast Small Burrito
    Anna T.

    Always on the search for a delicious breakfast burrito and came across here. We each got the small breakfast burrito but we should have just gotten a regular and spilt. However now we get to put whatever we want inside. No rice no beans. Bacon. Extra spicy and their creamy spicy mayo sauce I think it was called Baja sauce that was recommended by the server. Great choice! Overall, very happy with the breakfast burrito. So good that next time I'll just get the regular size! Server was great also, great recommendations and small talk. Throughly enjoyed my experience

    We had Chronic Tacos catering for lunch last week. We all were surprised how good that was. We had steak and chicken tacos with rice and beans, salad, and all trimmings. Both meats were very tender and perfectly seasoned and not too salty. All the side dishes were good. Everything disappeared quickly. :)

    Everything we ordered was great but my son found a hair in his chicken strips.

    Service was great food was great other than the hair that was found in the strips. After that my son did not want them . But the rest of our order was good.

    For size comparison...

    This is why you don't order online pick up.....I guess? Thnx for the extra small burrito.

    Cali Burrito no sour cream and mindful chick'n

    So good!!! I love me some Chronic Tacos! And this location did not disappoint. They are plant-based and vegetarian friendly! Which is why I love Chronic Tacos. They used to have the beyond meat, but no longer sell it. At least at this location they don't. They offer something called "mindful chick'n" instead and it is pretty good. Not as good as the beyond meat, but a close second. I ordered the mindful chick'n in my cali burrito. It was sooooooo GOOD! Definitely hit the spot. I added fajita veggies and passed on the sour cream. It was good. I just didn't eat it fast enough. It got soggy at the end. All good though. It was tasty. My boyfriend is a carnivore and he also ordered a burrito with mindful chick'n to try it out. He said it wasn't half bad. He ate his whole burrito with no complaints. Actions speak louder than words I always say lol Overall, great! :)

The chips and salsa were really good. The aguachile had a nice spicy flavor that made it stand out. The queso fundido was SO good super cheesy, and paired with the handmade tortillas it was one of my favorites. We also ordered the calamari and I was surprised by how good it was. Everyone ordered different rounds of cocktails throughout the night and honestly, not one missed. Service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday night, so that's somewhat expected. I've been here before and the grilled octopus tacos and carne asada burrito were just as good as I remembered them. They also made the birthday celebration really cute. They sang happy birthday, brought out a small ice cream, and gave my friend a big mariachi hat. Good food, great drinks, and still consistent as I remembered it. So long Playa Mesa. 9.5/10

The hostess was friendly, and our server was funny and kind. He was a little less attentive as it got busier, but the staff worked well as a team, so we never had to wait for refills or anything we needed. Parking in the back can be a little tight. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and I loved the inside-out cheese crust. My husband's fajitas were flavorful, although the chicken was a little overdone. The guacamole was excellent, especially with the pepita seeds adding great texture. Overall, we enjoyed the flavorful food, service, and atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!

Everything is clean, beautifully organized, colorful, and incredibly fun. It's almost like Disneyland of Mexican markets! We loved sampling the tacos and exploring all the different food stalls.

The entire market feels like a fiesta. There is vibrant fresh produce, option of authentic food in different stalls, and churros served hot from the fryer. We also grabbed some carne asada to grill at home to keep the party going! And then there is pretty impressive collection of tequila for the tequila lovers! Mercado González is more than a market.

I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.

The tacos were delicious as well, the roasted salsa was slightly smoky with a good jalapeño flavor, the meat was tender, and the tortillas had a great chew. The churros are not to be underestimated- they were thick and fluffy, and the dipping sauces were perfect accompaniments. The flan was the super star of the whole night for me- genuinely the most perfect, custardy, unctuous flan I've ever had. The vanilla bean specks throughout gave it such flavor, there wasn't a ton of syrup but it honestly did not need it. There is absolutely nothing that could have improved that flan.
