Love the tacos!! The spicy salsa muy caliente!! Awesome food! Loved the chips and guacamole.

First time here and had the chicken tacos. They were really good! My husband had the carne Asada burrito it was really good as well.

Worst place ever! Was rushed when ordering, fries are under cooked and guacamole was black. Never going back.

Love their burritos and tacos. Service is always excellent ! They have deals everyday. The teas are delicious also.

I was always hesitant to come here as I remember the prices being really expensive, but it's no different from chipotle. I do like that you can see your ingredients in front of you. The serve breakfast burritos which made me very happy and they even have veggie option. We ordered a carne asada burrito and a veggie breakfast burrito. I got home and took one bite of my breakfast burrito to find it was a bacon egg burrito. So much for vegetarian. Good thing I like meat. This particular store was clean and the servers were nice (although the cook put bacon in my eggs.. ) the parking is relatively easy and location is easy to find. I am a bit disappointed in getting the wrong order. The Carne asada burrito was ok, but relatively fatty. Disappointment since you pay more for the steak. If you check in here you can get a free item though! read more

Food was horrible and here's the breakdown! -Chicken was over salted -Battered fish was rubbery and the guy making our food was either nervious and folds under pressure, or had an intentional bad attitude! -ordered the Machaca breakfast taco and the Machaca meat was bland and tasteless although cooked to perfection. -Guacamole was fresh made and that's about it, it was missing KEY ingredients such as lime and salt! Unreal and utterly disappointed. The only thing they do correct at this location is make sure, 100%, to say goodbye to every customer on their way out the door! Not good enough for me to ever return... read more

First time experience and the staff was very friendly. Jose helped me out and explained how to order and was very nice. Loved my carne asada burrito!! 10/10 would recommend read more

Best burrito bowls ever!!!!! I love this place. All the guys who work here are amazing. They work hard! Food is great!!!

Finally a taco place in this shopping center. Service was good. Taco Tuesday $1.99 tacos. Al pastor tacos are good, asada are nothing special. read more

Chronic Tacos - "Gringo Badito" - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I don't understand the bad reviews. My family goes here about once a week. This is our go-to local Mexican restaurant, and we are Surrounded by them. The food is yummy and consistent. The service is fast and efficient. The manager Josh has a great vibe and always oversees that things are running smoothly. read more

I'm vegan so I just make sure to ask what if any of the rice or beans have any animal products in them. Otherwise I enjoy the food. It's simple, basic and fast yet delicious. I can't say anything about the meat since I don't eat that, but I enjoy eating my vegan options. I'll definitely eat there more. read more

The food was ok. They were just understaffed, so it took a little longer, and the place needed to be cleaned up. Clearly nobody wanted to take out the trash. The garbage was so full, people had to pile their trays of trash on a nearby table. read more

Chronic Tacos - Garbage so full that everyone had to pile up trays of trash on a table next to the can. - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Came by to try for the first time. The parking was good, and though the establishment was packed we still managed to get our orders done in about 5 minutes. Ordered two tacos, one carnitas and one beef both of which were really good. Since it was our first time trying the establishment, we asked the employees and the manager on recommendations, of which they were very helpful to us in making our selections. Upon arriving at the cashier the manager Nick threw in two free drinks since it was our first time there. It was a nice gesture, and we'll definitely come back read more

I was so excited to eat here and ordered a quesadilla with chicken and I was so bummed out the chicken was disgusting and chunks of fat with every bite had to toss it out after trying to eat half of it and to top it off the soda was awful lacking syrup ugh I don't think I'll be back to this place.... lastly the menu clearly states it comes with chips and salsa and the guy said no it doesn't and put like five chips on the top lol - thanks man! read more

I love their tostado bowls. Delicious! The employees are very friendly and helpful. Gave me a taste of the sauce so I could make sure I liked it. read more

how very sad. I have been a massive chronic taco fan since they opened on PCH. went today to this location (been traveling, so first time since last year.) and this is what I found : a price increase. not sure how much, maybe .50. pretty large reduction in product : the tostado shells have been reduced in size (50% est). the meat servings have been reduced in size (66%) by reducing the size of the spoon. The two scoops ? are now about one third of what they used to serve. the Shrimp for tostados ? has been shrunk both in size and count. the Staff is practically paranoid. when I asked for a bit more chicken (since the burrito was chicken, beef, onion ONLY) the server answered OH NO ! WE CANNOT DO THAT. I added grilled vegies to the tostado, was advised of 1.00 extra charge (something they have never done before), then balked when server added about 7 or 8 thin slices of vegies. this makes me sad. dear Corporate. if this is a chain wide decision, its been nice knowing you. the best way to put your butt out of business is to A. cut back what you became famous for and B. assume your customer is stupid. if this is a location decision, ya'll need to find a new regional manager. read more

Had a great experience, top quality for food. I had the chronic fries DELICIOUS my mouth waters whenever i hear chronic tacos.

Pricey but good food. I often split the burrito with my family since they have the portion pretty big. Good meat and other ingredients are fresh. I only go here if Mexican food cravings knocks. I have had chicken tacos here as well. read more

If I could give this store a negative rate it would be in the -100. The service is the worst to say the least. I went a few times just because my family likes there breakfast tacos but the service is BAD. To start I have to repeat my order at least 4 times because they can remember it, and they don't write it up, for just 6 breakfast tacos (SIX). After that they ask me if I want egg in my breakfast taco?? What kind of questions is that, is like asking if I want ham in my ham and cheese sandwich. The wrapping of the tacos its a whole different story, I believe they all skip the class about how to wrap a taco in foil.. But the funny part was that even that they have a whole bunch of stickers to know what's inside THEY DONT USE THEM, so if I didn't ask in the last taco if they are going to label on them, I would have a TACO SURPRISE PARTY at home discovering what's in each taco. You are lucky my family likes your tacos, because if it was for me I would never never ever step in that store again... Don't fire the people train them FIRE THE MANAGER IN CHARGE BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONE SUCKS AND MAKES THE COMPANY LOOK VERY BAD..!!! read more

This store is my favorite chronic taco to visit. Friendly service and familiar faces but I'm going to give it a 5 star today because from the burrito to the check out an employee named Gabriel really hooked it up! I had to ask the name food was awesome thanks!! read more

Love this place... healthy choices, fast service, clean and open dining area. Not to pricey and convenient location. Ordering online is an excellent way to grab dinner and get on your way. read more

Had the best California burrito of my life here at Chronic Tacos. I love how they make their burritos huge and give you a real portion of meat unlike chipotle sometimes. Love this spot! read more

BEST SERVICE EVER! I have never been to chronic tacos before but I heard they opened a new one by my house so I had to drop by and the service was impeccable! The 2 people that helped me were Dylan and Tommy. They were super chill and provided amazing service, going above and beyond helping me put my burrito together. The burrito was deliciousness! I will definitely be back! I hope Tommy and Dylan are there every time I go back! read more

One of my favorite places to get a breakfast burrito or some tacos. This place is amazing, the food is great, the people that work there are always friendly and fast. Parking can be a little tricky although well worth it read more

I have to say I have heard good things about Chronic Tacos from friends but I never got around to trying it. It lives up to the hype of the chain at the Costa Mesa baker location. The environment is clean with an open kitchen concept, which offers peace of mind seeing the clean facilities. The music was a mix of reggae and alternative rock which felt inviting and fun, good for younger crowds. The steak in my quesadilla was very flavorful and tender and the veggies were tasty and fresh. A nice step above ingredients used in a sandwich shop or cheap take out place. It seems they haste healthy options as well like salads , overall Chronic Tacos is a win for me. read more

Stopped by on our way home & pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious & customer service was even better ....

So I thought a sign on the door said they closed at 9pm but here on yelp it days 10pm. Either way I was there at 8:35pm tonight. Walked in and asked the girl for 2 shrimp tacos. She started to put on gloves and then went to the back at the same time the cook guy comes out and says "We can't do beer battered or grilled because we're trying to get out of here" "we can do sautéed though". I did notice that everything including the grill was cleaned spotless. So clean that I thought for a moment that they were closed. So since they clearly have a regular menu and an 8:35pm menu I decided to just move on. A taco is a taco if you go to a good place they're always good. A good taco at a place with poor service is a bad taco. Fortunately there are plenty of other good taco places around. Bad taco place. This place should be closing soon. read more

The customer service was good. I ordered a carne asada burrito which was very tasty. It was the small one so the size was just right for a moderate appetitee. It was the prices. I thought they were high. Something like 9.95 for 3 tacos. The place was clean but I just was not impressed. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food this is NOT your place. Food tastes like America's version of Mexican food. The refried beans were disgusting, took one bite and threw them away. the red rice is called "Spanish" rice even though it's a "Mexican" restaurant (like what????) No Mexican calls their red rice Spanish rice. The only reason why I gave it two stars is because the red sauce was really good so props on that. read more

I phoned in an order, and confirmed with the person that it was curbside pickup only during this pandemic. As I am sitting in my car for like 10 min right in front of the door(my food was done already), I get tired of sitting there and go in and ask what happened to curbside pickup, I was ignored. Then ask again and ignored, the final answer I got was, they were too busy and short staffed.. I knew it was a bad idea to order from this place after seeing the bad reviews. Long story short don't expect curbside pick up, and expect a rude service experience. Good luck staying busy read more

This is the most expensive and worst taco place 3 tacos and 2 drink $20. Plus the toritallas are given to you practically cold and they didn't taste good at all read more

Service was great but the meat was terrible. Every bite of the carne asada was fatty and chewy like I was chewing bubble gum. I ended up picking it out of my burrito. Poor quality meat for the price it cost! read more

Yum! My husband ordered me a taco salad. I thought it was going to be a salad inside a tortilla bowl, but this was just a salad in a bowl (container) this salad was by far the best taco salad I've had in a very long time! I was expecting to dig through the top and find a bunch of greens...but nope! There was a even ratio of lettuce to veggies, cheese, beans (whole black) and chicken!! I was very impressed! I only ate 1/3 and the rest is for lunch manana. read more

Great food!!!! Great staff. Fun and very friendly. The carnitas are great and loved the carne adada. Will try the bowl- rito next time. We will be back read more

I used to love to come here before going to concerts at the observatory down the street. Went in tonight (11/18/17) and ordered some fish tacos. Was rudely told by guy behind the counter that I need to pick something else because he doesn't feel like making that. I was surprised at how rude he was as he was telling me this (even the two other employees working there look surprised by how harsh he was being). I figured it might be the end of the night and he had maybe already cleaned the grill or something. Then I asked what time they closed, and found they were still going to be open for another 2.5 hours. If this is the type of employees they hire now, I will not be coming back and I suggest everyone else do the same. read more

This place is amazing the food is always fresh and Gabriel Zamora one of the guys that work here is amazing and give the best customer service highly recommend coming here read more

The worst service that I've ever experienced in life. The manager was so rude, I just mad a question and he seems to don't want me there. It was horrible, never going back there! read more

Absolutely love this spot, this specific location always has the friendliest/quickest staff and the freshest ingredients on the line! Always killin it!! read more

Great service, got there as they opened and everything was ready. Greeted with a smile and how many day was going. Place is always clean and restrooms smell very good. I have been here several time and it is always the same. Had the Breakfast burrito with some chipotle sauce. I also put some of the ghost pepper sauce which I find to have a good mixture of heat and flavor. Will be back again. read more

First time coming here and the food was good and all but the guy working the cashier was throwing real shade. When we were looking at the menu he was nice and all saying take your time which was cool but after my mother placed her order and it was my turn, I got the queusdilla. We also got some chronic steak fries, he asked what I wanted on them and I said well whatever it comes with, cliantro lime etc. Then when fries I said I dont need any salsa on them because the quesdilla comes with salsa and chips. He then told me it didnt come with salsa, just the chips under the quesadilla. I looked back up at the menu and right under the word quesadilla it says includes chips and salsa. He reached in the fridge behind him and grabbed two salsa containers and said here you go. I still now cant figure out why he would try to do that, either he doesnt like white people or he thought he could pull a fast one and I wouldnt look at the menu twice but it felt awkward and inconveience having to play detetctive on whats included and not, idk when I get the craving Ill stick to one in Bella Terra, its pass on this one for me.. read more
