Such great service! The two gentlemen working there were so funny and helpful with our order. My girlfriend just moved in down the street and we will FOR SURE be frequent visitors! Food was great as always! read more

When I think of something "chronic" I believe it to be habitual, or habit forming. The name is a bit misleading, since the tacos here are simply tacos that I have had before at other places. I dont see one characteristic thats special enough to really stick out. Lets dish.. Staff is friendly and dining area is fairly clean. I like the concept of a fresh option, where tortillas are abundant in front of you and not stuck in a bag or back in the backroom fridge. I like the assembly line of Chronic Taco professionals who make the tacos with the trimmings in front of you. I went with a Chicken Taco and Asada Taco. They ran out of chicken after I ordered, so I had to wait for 20 mins, but the server did make a fresh taco for me. Good service on that part. But as I mentioned before, its a taco that has been done before at many places, and its nothing special that sticks out. I would say that maybe Chronic Tacos specialty could be its marketing. Who doesnt think Chronic Tacos is catchy?? Basic functionality, tasty tacos and catchy name: Its a silver medal winner in Taco Olympics! Perks: Food is tasty and menu seems inviting enough to come back and try something new. Cool deals for Taco Tuesday! This location is close to Target and other shopping nearby. Downsides: Pricey for Tacos if its not Taco Tuesday. Awesome TIP: Hey Yelpers! Remember to check in for specials! OverALL: A-OK. It was good, but not amazing. I was hoping for EPIC, but it was satisfying at the moment. Definitely hit or miss. read more

See all

I love the taste and options that Chronic Tacos has vs Chipotle, but the portions are much smaller. Their al pastor is fantastic, but they barely give you any, not in the burrito or taco do you get much of anything. All the toppings are fantastic, the sauces and salsas always tasty and fresh, but you really have to order up just to be full and the prices are not cheap enough for that. They do have specials and you can sign up for coupons via text. Service was ok, not stellar, wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

This location is good. Since they're new you get somewhat smaller portions for the nachos :/ I got mine with Parmesan cheese on top (which I just found out they have). You can also get melted cheddar cheese or melted Parmesan cheese on your nachos. Just have to ask. The grated Parmesan is incredible in the potato tacos and as a seasoning on top of the nachos! They have a good choice of drinks, including Jarritos, so don't forget to order one or ask for a water cup. Friendly service, A+ Extra salsa is complimentary :) read more

Chronic Tacos - Carne Asada Nachos With Parmesan on Top!! - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Boo boo. I did not like this place at all. Prices are horrific, totilkas are not homemade. High priced, and bland

This place has great customer service As a matter of fact all of their locations do. They have a great variety of meats to choose from just to top your tacos off with Their specialty Baja sauce is the best! Full of flavor, great guacamole. My personal favorite is their shrimp tacos. Don't forget to download their free app for rewards!!! read more

First time here and I fell in LOVE with the atmosphere. I was served by nice man Owen M and he made my experience 10000x better than it already was! I felt like the valued customer I am. Will come again, thank you chronic tacos for the amazing experience! read more

The tacos are always so delicious! The girl at the register was very kind and the service was very fast!

While supporting local businesses during COVID-19, my spouse and I tried Chronic Tacos at this location.The service was good, and so was the food. The two gentlemen making the food were friendly and worked hard as there was a line when we arrived and as we left. I ordered tacos and my spouse ordered the surf and turf burrito. It can be a bit pricey, but we enjoyed the portions of food and will definitely be going back. read more

Ordered delivery... Not sure if that's the reason my fish tacos were soggy and looked like someone was mad at me lol smashed fished in a tortilla was alright but not something I'd order to have delivered ever again. read more

Caleb I am so sorry you are right! I wrote this for the wrong store. I have removed my review, but it was meant for the one on 4533 PCH, Newport Beach. read more

Food was pretty good and reasonable prices. Just a tip when checking in with Yelp you get free guac and chips . It's actually not "free" . You pay .50 read more

Good food, horrible customer service by this dude named Jose. If you don't enjoy the job, go back to school and study something you're passionate about. What a shame! read more

They are so nice here! Thank you to the server for being so nice and patient as I make my burrito selections. Plus he helped me save money on my small burrito combo! Thanks! read more

Great food and wonderful staff! Excellent customer service. Come here 2-3 times a week. 3/17- after enjoying lunch here a few times I placed a catering order for my office of 30 people. It was perfect n everything was hot n yummy. My staff really enjoyed the food. Everything was ready n easy to take to the car. Thanks to the best chronic ever! read more

Chronic Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Interestingly this CT gives way less meat per taco than the one I've been to in Irvine. I wonder how that works? Weird. But not coming back to pay same price for less meat. Responding to manager: yes please check that they are not giving less meat to customers than other locations. We went to another CT and in Newport Beach and they also gave more meat than this CM location. read more

This location kills the game! Their customer service is outstanding, as well as the food! We have ordered from this location many times and never had an issue. Staff is friendly and personable. Food is prepared quickly, packaged accurately, and tastes so damn good! Keep up the solid work, we appreciate it! read more

I'm just updating because chronic tacos change their response to me! Their first response was an apology saying they wanted to make it right that they were totally in the wrong! Zero stars! read more

Tried their potato tacos and carnitas tack and they were amaaaazing! The carnitas are good by themselves and not bland at all they really season it well :) highly recommend and if you try horchata and if too sweet for you, ask for a water cup to water it down its really refreshing read more

The food at this chronic tacos are good, however every time i've been here they fuck up my order bc they don't write anything down. (example gave us fish tacos instead of shrimp or just completely mixing up all of our order) Make sure you are diligent about checking you food because you will be disappointed 10/10 times. I throw up every time i eat here but in a good way. my puke tasted like fauci's vax and i can say with extreme certainty that they definitely chum. 12/10 read more

Not only does this place not let you sit inside, they don't let you "make it a meal" anymore. Would have been nice to know before they put all the food together and then played dumb when it came time to ring it up and charge me individually for every single item. I will not be back. Place is filthy. read more

Not the best spot for this Chronic Taco, it was a little hard to find on the side part of the Target Shopping Center. Great food as always, not a long wait even with a line at lunchtime. Happy to have found it. Will be coming back often. read more

Great food. Love that they serve seafood burritos here too. Typing more now because yelp is dated and has a character limit for reviews

Check in on Yelp and receive a free order of chips and guac. Chips are delicious and warm when received, not overly salty like Chipotle, best comparison since the concept is the same, but the flavors just aren't as good IMO. Tacos are quite expensive given the quantity you're receiving and the bowls don't come as packed. Burritos are a decent size, but at the end of the day, I'd rather just go to Chipotle. read more

By far one of the best Mexican restaurants in the city. I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food but this place makes me a convert. Even the service was great and the atmosphere is really good. And it's really clean too read more

Ate here months ago and wasn't impressed. Being a Chronic Taco fan I had to try this close to home location one more time. Glad I did, totally different restaurant experience and food quality. I'll be back often. read more

Asked them to make my vegetarian burrito vegan, but they made it full of eggs... first time eating meat (by accident) in 4 years. I will not be returning. read more

Honestly this is my first time in here, always heard about it but now that I've tried it, I can honestly say it remains me of another Fresh-Mex. Restaurant chain. It's small in there,enough seating for about 40 people and gender friendly bathrooms are clean. Fair prices but watch out for the "added ingredients"....they do add up!! Plus free refills on sodas. read more

I have been to this taco place several times but this specific time stood out! As soon as we walked in we were greeted my Joel M (2:15pm) and he gave us several ideas off the menu including the California burrito. My mom and I each got two tacos and towards the end we mentioned we didn't like anything spicy!! He INSISTED we try the green medium salsa and even gave us some chips to go with it! If your service was as good as mine tip!! Even if it's just $1. He made our day and we will definitely be back. Ps- Only reason it was 4 and not 5 stars was because the restroom had no TP. Other than that clean food area and nice atmosphere. read more

At Chronic Tacos I got a potato taco and a chicken flautas. The Potato taco tasted good, but it did not impress me. The chicken flautas were over cooked on the outside and soggy in the inside. I have had much better Mexican food than this. I probably won't be going to Chronic Tacos for a long time. read more

Huge portions. Fresh items. Lots of variations available. Always include Baja sauce! We've done shrimp, beef and pork items and all have been very tasty! read more

I ordered the new Beyond beef burrito ( way too stoked that they have this option now, good job Chronic ). I got it delivered and called and yelled at the guy because the meat was so realistic that I thought they sent me the wrong order. Turns out it was Beyond and I'm just an ass hole. Delicious burrito. Do recommend. read more

This location gets 1 star because of how terrible the employees are. Always handle your food poorly, never listen correctly to what you want on your order, so it comes out like a mess and food bad. Older lady with a nasty demanding attitude, to the two gentlemen standing around making to strong of eye contact toward the young girls that come in, to the point where their ignoring other customer needs. This spot is trash! read more

My favorite place to eat! The service is always great and very personable. You do't usually get that at fast food joints either. Coral and Ernie are my favorite employee's! Always greeting me with a smile and makes the potato tacos perfect! read more

I am from New York. I ordered a burrito and I was amazed It was very long and stuffed with everything It took me 2 days to finish I was very full and very happy This place is good to order from The food is delicious read more

Chronic Tacos serves large burritos and tacos which taste great! Your food is customized to your taste; just point and say yes or no as they assemble your meal right in front of you - while you watch! Their process is similar to Subway's assembly line :-) The large burritos here are big enough that I usually cut them in half and make two meals out of them. read more

Food was delicious!! And not expensive at all not only that I could barely finish the food. And to put the cherry on top the staff was amazing we had an incredible worker helping us by the name of Julie and she was kind and hard working. read more

I've been to multiple Chronic Tacos locations, but the Costa Mesa location always stands out to me as excellent. The customer service is great. I've read other comments on yelp that give it low ratings because of speed but I've never experienced slow service. I've only experienced care in preparing the food well, as opposed to other similar businesses or even locations that give you haphazardly thrown together burritos. Tonight me and my wife were warmly welcomed and given genuine hospitality that you don't find in fast service food. The music was great, which is subjective but worth mentioning. I don't give yelp reviews often, but when I do it's for the guys killin' it on Thursday night at Chronic Tacos. read more

Sad to say I'm very disappointed with the experience that happened with my dinner tonight. Paid 24$ through Postmates and got my food delivered (friendly and prompt Postmater), the downside was the not just with the quality of the food but the service I received when bringing attention to the staff. Trust me I get doing orders close to closing time can be spirit breaking but this was nearly an hour before 9:00 when it was placed and should be no excuse to lower the standard! Fernando answered the phone and it honestly seemed like he didn't care. He claimed the guacamole was mixed in with the cheese for the vegetarian quesadilla. Clearly it wasn't. Asked for guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, and onion and none of it was there. I've managed fast casual food restaurants and if this ever happened I'd be quick to make it right, not make some lame excuse saying "the guacamole is mixed with the cheese". Are you kidding me? That's weak sauce. Weaker than the sauce we also didn't receive. I loved chronic tacos but this was a terrible experience service wise. I hope the GM or owner can get things sorted out. And I really hope the person I spoke to wasn't the GM cause that can be an even bigger problem. read more

Chronic Tacos - Guacamole mixed cheese? Low standards for sure - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This is easily my favorite Chronic Taco location, not just because of the convenience but the exceptionally friendly and efficient staff. Every Chronic has its own vibe, and while I love the relaxed authenticity of the HB location, the food and service at Harbor and Baker is second to none. I've seen some massive burritos attempted and not one torn here, Chipotle could learn a thing or two read more
