So I went to this sandwich place a few months ago and I was thinking, 'man, this place is really…read morecute with their wall of tinned fish, olive oil, and artisan foods. I just wish they had more T-shirt options because their sandwiches are so freaking good I'd wear their t-shirt' Hey. Guess what. They have more t shirt options now that are bad-ass. Can I say bad-ass? I just realized my entire review is about their merch...This time I got the curry chicken sandwich. I initially got it because curry chicken sandwiches always have a sweet element and most places do raisins or apples. Here, they did peach, and I was like, 'damn. I want to try this.' But when I bit into it, the star of the freaking show was the peppercini!! What!??! That vinegary balance with a tiny kick. Mmmm, yeah. Super good that I ate way too much in one sitting.

I ordered a pastrami sandwich and she ordered an Italian sandwich, and we both liked what we ordered. My sandwich had lots of pastrami, great flavoring, and lots of spicy tastes! It wasn't dry nor was it oily! I have had plain Jane pastrami sandwiches before, so I was happy to get a good tasting pastrami full of meat, flavor, and spice! I would definitely order from them again! The pick-up/take out service was excellent as my daughter ordered and paid for the food before getting there. She said it's more of a take out spot as there wasn't much room to sit down.

The Staff are Friendly and very nice... that's a Huge Plus. However, the location may put some off…read morefrom venturing to the place; I came during the day with my wife and mother-in-law, and it was OK. But at night, I'm not so sure I'd take my wife or mother-in-law there; it may be fine, but I don't want to find out. BTW - Dirty Vegas - Days Gone By (some of you will get it) Anywho, moving on. We ordered the following; 1 Chicken Sandwich 2 Chili dogs with cheese 1 Chili fry 1 Soda for a total of $38.51 (cash) My first mistake; not taking a photo of the current 'Menu' board; it is different from what's shown here; it has been updated. However, there is a 'Grilled Chicken Sandwich' on the menu board that is not offered... instead, they offer a tiny fried (breaded) and processed chicken disk-shaped patty; a 'sandwich' honestly, not worth buying... stick to the chili burgers or chili dogs. My honest opinion on this chicken sandwich is this, it should just be removed altogether from the menu -- it is of no real value to customers as it is, and it lowers the quality of menu items being offered. The Chili, however, is their selling point -- stick to that, and they'll do well. Chili dogs are good; a decent, long, slightly snappy dog on a regular small bun, but lightly smothered with a decent portion of chili; not too messy and easy to eat - not a 'Great Value' but an OK value for today's pricing. The Chili Fries were also good; not great but good. The portion if generous but the fries quickly turned soft before I could plow into them. I do like some crispy fries with my Chili. However, while soggy, the flavor was good. I can't make a recommendation on this until I try another batch of chili fries from Chroni's. If, however, the fries remain soaked, soft & soggy, I'd then pass on ordering Chili Fries but just go straight to ordering regular fries with a side order of Chili -- I hate soft soggy fries that much. As for the soda; a large is an OK size. However, I cannot say if they offer a refill; I didn't go back to ask for one. But I'd hope a refill is available for the price... it'd be a shame if they didn't offer a refill. Pastrami: I got to taste a sample of the Pastrami, and it is really good. Here is where Chroni's could kick it up a notch; Chroni's does not have Bacon - Huge Disappointment and Missed Opportunity, I feel. With the Pastrami they do offer, IF made available; with Bacon, they could add one more menu Item that I know for a fact would sell: The Monster Burger - it is simply this: Bacon Cheeseburger with Pastrami, Chili, Onions & Pickles, and mustard. If they'd add this one to their menu, I'd be back for sure. Just saying; something for Chroni's to think about. Get rid of the chicken, add the bacon. Seating: Oh, yeah; seating; Lots of outdoor seating... we were there on a Sunday and there were plenty of open tables. Parking: Lots of Parking too... for most parts or time, parking should not be an issue as I had thought it would be. I nearly parked 3 blocks away in anticipation of the lot being full; that was because I had not been there before, and the parking on the street was loaded; not knowing Chroni's had its own parking, I feared the worst. But as we got there, I was amazed to see, they had plenty of open parking space. Restrooms: I cannot say anything about the restrooms; I didn't need to go nor looked to see how they were kept. My take-away for Chroni's is this; it is a throw-back to an early time when Snack Shack foods were a regular thing in L.A.; a nostalgic place with Lots of Promise and Potential, but where Pricing is a sign of the modern times; a bit high for Chroni's to be a regular place, but it is what it is. However, the staff are really friendly, nice & polite. My hope for Chroni's would be to focus on promotions & higher sales volume with an emphasis toward lowering prices as demand begins to grow once again. By minimizing the menus and just focusing on turning Chroni's back into High Quality Chili & Chili Burger Shack -- this would definitely help increase sales once prices come down a bit. And if done right, there will still be lots of opportunity to turn a nice profit. 5 Stars for Friendly & Nice Service 2 Stars on the Chicken & Soft/Soggy Fries 4 Stars for Seating 4 Stars for Parking 3 Stars for Cleanliness/Outdoor Dining/Restrooms (???) and bus bench/streetside characters. And, 5 Stars for Potential Overall - 3.5 Stars for now.

We usually stop by either before or after visiting the barnyard zoo. It's a small place, but offers a great variety of options, Mexican food, pizza (so good), a coffee shop, and even a craft beer bar all in one place. The bar also serves $12 cocktails, which is a nice bonus. It's especially fun when they host events. The combination of good food, good music, and friendly staff makes the whole experience even better. Not to mention, the outdoor area is super cute. Highly recommended!

My wife and I have come here a few times to collect our deals from the My SGV passport. I think years back there were way more vendors, but currently there's a small amount of vendors operating.

The vendors inside are Alchemy Craft & Cold Pizza. The rest of the vendors are outside. They offer indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. There are also TVs inside to watch some sports games. Overall, BLVD MRKT has good vendors at the moment making them worth a visit. But tempter the expectations of options as new business are still opening up. ( ^_^)b

Got my food around 6:20 and they didn't add avocado which is honestly expensive to add for how much they give you. Luckily i opened it in store and was able to give it back for them to add it. They gave me the wrong sandwich and i made the mistake of walking out before I checked it. I understand being busy but giving me a completely different sandwich is not okay UPDATE: called the store they offered to remake it which is fine but not one apology for their mistake because no one there was able handle a busy time in the day.

We just went inside and let the workers know we don't mind waiting because we know we are a little early. They looked at us like we did something wrong and told us we have to wait no matter what. Mind you, there's no customers in the store. We see they go to the back in the empty store for a while and we are still waiting. We do not get our order until 6:10 even tho the store was empty but they were in the back. The food was not even made correctly they were missing some condiments we had added. Our cups we received were had broken lids. And our sub in a tub was not even chopped up at all. Not friendly at all, terrible customer service.

It wasn't unusual for me to get a few sandwiches on a weekly basis way back when. I am very happy that Cook's Tortas is still around. I have tried every sandwich on their board. My favorite has always been the Bombero #6. It is grilled tender steak with a red pepper sauce and avocados. The bread is a sourdough Ciabatta style roll which is made fresh daily. One side comes with the sandwich. This time I chose the Ham and Cheese Macaroni Salad. For dessert, I always get Great Grandmother's Corn Cake. Everything tasted very fresh. There was ample beef in the sandwich. The corn cake was not too sweet and the guava jelly on top enhanced the cake well. A pineapple-orange aqua fresca was a good, refreshing beverage accompaniment. Service was very friendly and exemplary. The food was prepared quickly and brought out to me. Prices are much higher now than before; more than doubled so this would be considered a special treat for me if I am in the area.

I've tried their signature The Melrose, which consists of black forest ham, oven roasted turkey, bacon, melted White American cheese, topped with house slaw (lettuce, red onions, pepperoncini tossed in their "Melrose" spread) and tomato. I absolutely love this sandwich!! It's packed with so much flavor, and the bun absorbs all of the juicy goodness, making every bite incredibly satisfying. Runner-up for me is the Uncle Nikki. This one has Genoa salami, pepperoni, capicola, provolone cheese, also topped with their house slaw. I've only ordered from here through Postmates, and every time their packaging is excellent--they wrap each sandwich in this cute wrapper, which adds a fun touch and keeps everything neatly intact and fresh by the time it arrives. Each sandwich is around $12 (as of June 2026), and I honestly think it's worth the price because these sandwiches are huge and so good!!
