Pastrami Reuben -ratio of pastrami to sauerkraut was perfection. Pickled onions tied everything together, soo good! Only down side to my sandwich was the pastrami was pretty fibrous/stringy but it was only a couple of pieces which didn't upset me too much. Tom's Way -pretty wet sandwich but everything paired well. Flavorful and filling but doesn't leave you feeling heavy. Spicy Gabagool -the sauce they use is chef's kiss. Not so much spicy but more of a season spiced. Really wanted to try their Lemon Crumb Bars but the girl ahead of me grabbed the last one. Just an excuse to come back for more sandwiches hahhaha. Opted for a Pecan Pie Bar instead; a bit more elevated than a regular pecan bar, crispy pecan added just the right amount of texture. Loved the caramel flavor but slightly too sweet for my liking.

Now I'm hooked! I tried their turkey sandwich with avocado and it was yummy. The bread was amazing I can't imagine when it's fresh! This is a loaded sandwich. I only finished half and the second half for later. The packaging is also so adorable! I definitely wanna come back to try their other sandwiches fresh! They're also known for their egg sandos??! I must try it all!

Pretty fair combo for the price, the service is quick at the counter and they make it in front of you.

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 did during the day with my wife and mother-in-law, and it was OK. Buy at night, I'm not so sure I'd take my mother-in-law there. We ordered 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, processed chicken disk patty, sandwich - honestly, not worth buying... stick to the chili burgers or chili dogs. My honest opinion on this is, they should simply remove the chicken sandwich altogether - it is of no real value to the customer. The Chili, however, is this places Strong Point -- thick to that, and they'd 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. 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. But the flavor was good. I can't make a recommendation on this until I try another batch of chili fries. If, however, the fries remain soaked and soft, then I'd probably pass them up but just buy straight fries instead -- I hate soft soggy fries. As for the soda; a large is an OK size. I cannot say if they offer a refill; I did not go back to ask for one. But I'd hope a refill is available for the price. 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. With the Pastrami, and 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 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. I nearly parked 3 blocks away when I saw the parking on the street; not knowing Chroni's had its own parking. But then discovered, they had plenty. I cannot say anything about restrooms; I didn't need to go nor looked to see if they had restrooms. My take-away for Chroni's is this; it is a throw-back to a early time when Snack Shack foods was a regular thing in L.A.; a nostalgic place with Lots of Promise and Potential. Pricing is a sign of the times; a bit high for me but it is what it is, but the staff are friendly & nice. 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 will 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 protfit. 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 spots we've tried were: Alchemy Craft: good cocktails! Los Taquero Muchos: bomb tacos! Cold Pizza: delicious pizza options! The vendors we visited were all friendly and accommodating. 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

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 got the bombero and the meat by itself would be on the drier side but if you eat it all together with the avocado and bread it balances it out. The torta is not for me since it seems like they use sour dough and im not really a fan of that. But other people might like it. Place an order online and it was a quick and easy pick up. 3.5/5

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!!

When you walk in, the display of cakes and desserts immediately catches your eye, they look delicious and definitely tempting while you're sitting down for breakfast. For breakfast, we ordered a short stack of pancakes, the breakfast combo, and an avocado toast. Everything was very much like a traditional breakfast and tasted good overall, no complaints. I especially liked the avocado toast. Every place seems to have its own variation, and this one had a slight salsa flavor to it, which was actually really good and a nice twist. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. I would definitely come back again and would love to try some of their desserts next time.
