Just now getting to write this review but I came in week or so ago and it seemed like a lot was out of stock and pretty disorganized which i feel is new! luckily there was a worker a black girl with red hair I wasn't sure if she was the manager or not but she apologized and was very helpful in helping me pick something else out! read more

The food here was off the hook! I was just wanting some tacos and was in the neighborhood and saw the new place and decided to stop in and try. Best decision of my life. If you're hungry and want some Mexican food stop by chronic tacos today. They totally exceeded my expectations. read more

We tried this place out for the first time and felt there was a lot of room for improvement. First, the place was empty so we thought our food would be amazing since it wasn't busy, but it wasn't good. First, the taco shells were raw. They were barely warmed up prior to the meat being placed inside, so it tasted like tortillas right out the package. Secondly, the carne asada meat had lots of fatty parts on it which was disappointing. The flavor of the meat was good, it was just the toughness and fatty parts that was disappointing. My husband had the fried shrimp taco which he enjoyed overall. All in all, we've been looking forward to trying this place since it's close to our home, but now that we've tried it we may not dine again. UPDATE: Per their request, I sent an email to their management and received no response back unfortunately. read more

Incredible service, very considerate! Food is fresh and delicious! A must for any Mexican food fans in the South Bay region.

Bring your own drinks unless you like Sugar Free soda. So I went twice this week and the soda machine wasn't working properly and the employees weren't able to fix the issue. All of the flavors were either unavailable or the few that were only had sugar free flavors. Not ideal! At least the food was tasty as always. Music has been a little loud lately and not the cool tunes they've had on before. Could hardly hear conversations at the table. read more

I had a burrito and my wife had a shrimp and fish bowl. Not too exciting, I might add. The chips and salsa were good. My burrito was alright. Not amazing, but ok. Customer service was excellent. I may come here again, if I'm in the area. read more

Good food. Good service. Love all the choices of protein. Especially the shredded pork.

This was the worst burrito I ever had, an uncooked, flour tortilla, cold, and all the ingredients cold. The side of rice was barely room, temperature, and the same with the beans, which tasted like they were next to the fish in the walk-in, because like residue of fish., I didn't finish eating it three bites was enough, I don't like cold food, come on now who eats cold food, who eats cold Mexican food? Sure not anyone that I know, and their staff not be trained to know better? This was horrible and I don't like spending $15 plus change, for a cold burrito. How's that for a review? Don't go here, is not regular Mexican food that is served nice and hot, that flower tortilla came right package out of plastic bag. It wasn't even warm, don't eat here. It was terrible and I know Mexican food, if the beans and rice are not good, you can tell the whole restaurant menu will not be good. I wish I could give it a -5 for the review, but unfortunately that option does not exist. there are so many other Mexican places to eat rather than spending your money here because this was a failed attempt at Mexican food. Taco Bell is better cold horrible burrito. they don't even have a red salsa and the staff should be to know what they're doing, but if the trainers don't know what they're doing if they kind of stuff to go floor. thank you for reading this all the way through, because the food here sucked big time, what a waste of money! read more

CHRONIC tacos is where you want to be if you want good food!!! I met four great people while dining in!!! Pilar should be on the welcoming committee for CHRONIC TACOS . She welcomed me upon arrival- she is full of joy, I told her this was my first time eating here and she told me how to order- pick a base (taco plate, burrito, bowl- rito, taco ala carte, small burrito) pick a protein (carne asada, pollo, carnitas, Al pastor, mahi mahi, vegetarian, or shrimp), pick a style (Street, Gringo or Baja) Pick you salsa and last you can pick from 7 different sauces!!! Or you can order from Chronic Favorites or choose a dessert whichever is to your liking. I picked two tacos with chicken --street and gringo style, with a medium salsa with the Baja sauce!! I had the pleasure of meeting Cynthia the franchise owner she immediately asked if I needed anything- this is the soft opening for this location!! I asked Cynthia why she likes this brand...her reply-I decided to get behind a brand that I would eat.. Cynthia told me everything is fresh, but the tortillas!! Cynthia Ioves CHRONIC TACOS and wholeheartedly believes in the brand!!! I can see why she loves the brand, the gringo taco is good, the grilled chicken is seasoned very well, you can also taste the freshness in the taco! There is a burst of lime flavor which makes this taco go from a ten to a fifteen!!! One bite and you will keep eating this taco, man this is good!! Let me try the street taco, the street taco is super good, the freshness, the unique taste, cilantro, onions, sauce and salsa bring this taco to an elite status. Come out and support Chronic tacos the atmosphere is lively, welcoming and family oriented!! If you come once, you will keep coming back continually!! I also had the pleasure of meeting Timika, a lead trainer, she has been working at Chronic Tacos for fourteen years . She came to provide support at this new location on Hawthorne Blvd. Ohmygosh, I met Randy, who is the actual brains behind this taco empire, he started this company in 2002 the first one in Newport Beach- and has over 40 locations!!If you want good food come to CHRONIC TACOS and look for Randy, Cynthia, Timika or Pilar they are a wonderful team full of love and support for this brand!!! I was given churros dessert and two coupons for my next visit!!! If any of my USC alumni fam are in the area,please come out and support this awesome eatery!!! read more

Drove 15 miles to come get a really good impossible burrito and they're closed temporarily!! Open back up guys!

Burritos were so bomb here! And the workers were very nice! Clean restaurant as well.

In general, this is a great taco place. One of my favorite. The problem I have with this specific location. And i've visited here twice on a tuesday in the middle of the day to find a close sign on the door AGAIN which is extremely irritating!!! read more

Chronic Tacos is hands-down the best spot for fresh, made-to-order Mexican-inspired food! I recently went in for one of their specialty burritos (California burrito to be exact), and I was not disappointed. Everything was freshly prepared, so it did take a bit longer, but the quality is well worth the wait. (Watch a game on one of their TVs while you wait!) The menu offers a fantastic variety of sauces, freshly made salsas, protein, and toppings, so you can customize your meal to your heart's content. I love that there are so many options to choose from, and each one has its unique flavor. Prices are very reasonable and competitive to other restaurants, especially considering the portion sizes and the quality of ingredients. You're getting fresh, flavorful food without breaking the bank. (I would say I'm a big guy and can put away a lot of food. The portion was big that I saved some as leftovers for lunch the next day.) The customer service was top-notch! I had a great experience with a lovely supervisor who noticed that my burrito had burst when her staff was wrapping it up (no surprise there since I had it loaded up with a lot of toppings). She offered to remake it without hesitation, but when I declined since I was going to eat it in a bowl anyway, she kindly suggested making it a wet burrito (topped with their red sauce and putting in the oven to melt the cheese topping), free of extra charge. Such a thoughtful gesture made my day! Although I took my meal to-go, the restaurant had 3 TVs and I was watching the World Series while I waited. (While paying for my meal, I had the opportunity to chat with the supervisor and found out they opened almost for a year and that she was related to the owner.) Chronic Tacos imparted me with a wonderful first impression. I'll be back. I wish I knew about the place sooner; I only found out about it based on their marketing mailer. (Delicious food with a coupon, why not? No brainer!) Seems like ownership created a work culture that cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction. I wish them nothing but success! (Other reviewers comment how the food is not "authentic Mexican food." Is Chipotle authentic Mexican food? Most would say it's not but it doesn't take away that Chipotle or Chronic Tacos offers freshly made, good quality food. If one wanted "authentic" then perhaps one should go to a restaurant that serves "authentic" cuisine. Otherwise it's like being upset you're not eating authentic Chinese food at Panda Express.) If you're looking for delicious, fresh Mexican-inspired food with excellent service, Chronic Tacos is the place to go! read more

everyone was very nice especially Zitlalli, she was very helpful and nice and got my order done fast even when it was busy. The place is very nice and clean. The food Zitlalli prepared for me was great, i got a small burrito with shrimp and asada and both were very flavorful. I will definitely be coming here again! read more

First off, props to the really nice and helpful staff here. Smiles, courtesy, professionalism...they're great. Too bad the food they're serving is a study in mediocrity. It was my first time, so I ordered two things that I thought were pretty foolproof: Carnitas and Al Pastor. Both were dry and flavorless. But at least they were served to me from really nice people. read more

Chronic Tacos in Redondo Beach is my go-to spot whenever I'm in the area. Their Carnitas Tacos are always on point--perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The vibe here is always chill, with great music and awesome artwork that adds to the laid-back atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're looking for a casual and tasty taco spot!, service is great as well. read more

The food is authentic Mexican food. I saw another review that compared it to Chipotle (which is no where close to being authentic Mexican food) but Chronic Tacos is so much better. The prices are fair and they give you a lot of food. The workers are helpful, the place is clean and they were playing the game on Sunday! Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Shout out to Josh the Manager. I love this location for providing the BEST customer service. Today after a 12hrs shift. I stop by before going home and picked up a cali Burrito. Josh and staff are super attentive and nice. Keep up the good work. Ill see you next time. Thank you read more

Carne asada is amazing, i have only been here twice.. so far great. Way better than chipotle.. the portions are better than chipotle as well.. chipotle just makes me sick with its 1000 seasoning. Happy hour Monday-Friday 4-7pm is a deal.. read more

Was excited to try under new ownership as I had previously been underwhelmed. The shrimp taco is the bomb. Absolutely amazing. While I was previously disappointed in the potato taco, tonight's was perfect. So full of flavor. The carne asada could have had a bit more flavor but was still good. I think it might just need some Baja sauce. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

Absolute Best is all I need to say! My Husband and myself went here for the 1st time on 4/4/25. We had no idea they had bowls! The 2 Sweet young ladies helped us. I got a Veggie Bowl and one of the Sweethearts suggested I get Guacamole in it-I did and the Guacamole was Soo Good!! Once I saw my Husband's Surf & Turf Burrito I decided to get another bowl with meat this time. The Sweetness that was helping me gave me (in a small cup) a sample of Each Meat---OMGoodness!! They were all so good I still had a hard time-I decided on Regular Chicken and the Pineapple Chicken but I added one of the two Pork meats!! Also I was joking with one of the Lovely young men cooking in the kitchen when he came out front by saying,"Don't you owe me some Cilantro"? He said no, I told him it was a joke and we laughed. He went back to the kitchen and a few moments later came out and walked up to me and said here's the Bouquet I owe you!! All I need is for them to rent rooms so my Husband and myself can take a nap after we've had our fill from our new family read more

It's a great place to eat even to bring friends or you can have a double date here great food great tasting dope place to be

We came here a long time ago and it wasn't good but it reopened and they said it has new owners and it's great!! So happy to have a solid taco place in our neighborhood. All the staff is super helpful too read more

Good food, but slow service. I ordered online and received a pickup time. When I arrived, they hadn't started it yet. The employee working looked annoyed when I asked her for it. I waited almost 10 minutes past my pick up time before I finally got my food. Need to train the employees for better customer service and timely service. Especially when the store is almost empty. read more

2nd time visiting this spot. Great food prepared in a timely manner and excellent customer service. The shift leader "Z" was extremely professional and very helpful with her recommendations and suggestions for our meals. I highly recommend this place their great food and customer service after my experiences. Credit definitely given where it's due. read more

The food was good not authentic Mexican food but edible a little to salty. The girl who made it was friendly. The place was clean but while we were eating the crew sat at a table and were doing shots lol. Not very professional. I found out it was black owned so I was excited about that, I try to support black owned businesses. But after seeing that I will not go back. I can only imagine what they do in the back of they restaurant if they would do shots in front while guests are there , And apparently it was the owners daughter giving the shots to the crew. But yeah it's expected. I won't be back! I won't go back. read more

I ordered on uber eats for 2 Al Pastor burritos. Go to pick it up and it seems someone stole my order? Because they said the order was already picked up when I got there. At first the girl working there refused to make another order for me (wtf?) but she reluctantly agreed and made 2 burritos with barely any meat. When I complained on Google, they said to E-mail info@chronictacos.com, which I did. And they didn't even bother to reply. First, why punish me for not checking who you give your orders to by first refusing to even remake my order, then reluctantly making basically a BRC burrito with no meat in it? Then tell me to E-mail you and not even reply? If you are going to offer to "make it right" (your words) and then ghost me, that's even worse than not saying anything at all. read more

Hands down the best tacos I've had in a while! The meet is super delicious and their sauces are delicious. 100% much better than chipotle.

Wanted to try chronic tacos today for lunch for the first time. We went in around 11:30am and although there where 5 people moving around the kitchen, not one of them looked up to say "hello" or "we will be right with you" or "hey there, we are busy with a big order and will be with you in a minute" or a single word, glance smile or wave! They looked so miserable, they weren't even talking to each other. We were shocked by how we weren't even greeted. There was even a staff person right next to us heating up burrito tortillas on the other side of glass and nothing. We stood for about five minutes (long enough to read the menu and figure out what we thought we wanted) and since we never got to order or pay, we just walked out. Went across street to El Amigo (I shouldn't have strayed) bc there they do treat you like you are at least friends. read more

Went to the one in Redondo on Torrance Boulevard way back in the day when we man was there! Happy they opened Another one in the South Bay! Love the carna Asda burrito read more

I had a great experience at Chronic Tacos. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. The protein options are amazing! They grace you with a sample to decide which option to pick. The meats are veryyyyy flavorful and cooked to perfection. The Al Pastor is my favorite but everything is tasty and worth a try. read more

Chronic Tacos - Carne asada Chronic Fries - Build your own - Mexican Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

First off the food here is always fantastic! I crave their food everyday and always love ordering a Burrito with Carne Asada, Spanish Rice, Black Beans, Guacamole, Cilantro, Onions and the (Hot!!!) Habanero Sauce. . Warning... this is some hot sauce. Perfect for my taste buds. I've also tried the Bowl-rito which is pretty much a burrito without a tortilla and that is great as well! They've also got these Carne Asada Fries that I will be trying on my cheat meal days because this dish looks bomb!!! The staff is wonderful and I look forward to always seeing them. They've got a great crew. Thanks team at RB Chronic Tacos. You guys are always nice and friendly! I hope this review serves the community. Love the location too (close to my house). read more

Food was really good and very friendly service! Chipotle style place where they assemble the food in front of you, allowing for you to customize your ingredients. My burrito came out huge (like chipotle), and was delicious! I'll def be back. read more

Chronic Tacos has been a welcome addition to the neighborhood! For the price and considering the tier of Mexican food they're competing with (Chipotle, Qdoba) I love it! I've tried bowl-ritos and street style tacos in pollo asado, carne asada and al pastor and liked them all! The meat is flavorful and never dry, the Spanish rice is moist and zesty and I've enjoyed both the black beans and refried beans. I'm a sauce girlie and love their cilantro cream and Baja sauce on anything. I appreciate that the many bowl toppings are always fresh. My only gripe is the lack of salt in the guac and on their chips, everything else I've loved. Portion sizes are decent for the price as well! The service has been quick, efficient and friendly every time I've visited. I'm unsure of his name, but the young man with a goatee and some arm tattoos is always so kind, smiley, informative and accommodating. There's plenty of indoor seating snd 1-2 tables outside. The ambiance is very chill and relaxed, always playing some Iration or Bob Marley inspired tunes. I'm not comparing this to the sit down Mexican places I love at double the price point, because that seems unfair. For this tier of quick counter service Mexican, I think the quality is just right! read more

Quick rundown of events Online order at 449pm (for in person pickup). Order stated meal would be ready by 510pm. I show up at 502pm and am told they are working on it At about 525pm I see someone come out and hand an order receipt (mine) and tells the employees to start on it (35min after I ordered online). By 540pm the order is finally ready. When I go to get the bags I am told they don't have chicken and just replaced those tacos with carne asada (never asked what I would like in place of chicken). Food is decent, but the service tonight was horrible. I want to support this business, but would have hoped that an almost $100 order would have been met with more urgency. read more

great experience, amazing service! the staff is super friendly and helpful! loveeee the food and quality is great

best tacos ever!! and the staff was so kind. they made a chicken bowl for my dog and rinsed off all the seasoning and everything! definitely recommend. the chicken taco is delicious. read more

1st time visiting, copy cat design and food preparation to Chipotle. My wife ordered a chicken burrito bowl and was a bit disappointed with the presentation. I had the Carne Asada burrito expecting slices of Carne Asada; however to my disappointment it was chopped up steak into miniature pieces. I had mine with refried beans, mix of white and Mexican rice. Burrito was huge but the taste was like 95% of other taco locations. Nothing to cheer about. It was not bad but I would not refer to the meat as Carne Asada. CA should have a smokey flavor to it and it should be cut into larger cuts. 2 stars due to nothing original and nothing to separate themselves from others to be actually considered Carne Asada. If we return, I would not order carne asada and might try the carnitas. But maybe not. Staff was friendly and location was clean. read more
