“ Super friendly even with them being short staff due to no one wanting to work. They had a line out the door but had smiles on their faces. Tacos are so worth the drive and wait ”
“ The pictures don't do this place justice. Everything was so flavorful! I had a carne asada taco, chicken burrito and a chicken quesadilla. I wanted additional items but their fryer was down. Pretty simple atmosphere for a quick bite ”
“ Folks these people are going to put Taco Bell out of business, simply the best Surf&Turf Burritos in Long Beach period!. ”
“ Greqt cuatomer service from the young man that helped me out. Good suggestions and a great attitude. My bowl/salad was really good. ”
“ Food was delicious I had the breakfast burrito added some al pastor and some chile verde yessir I'm coming back forsure and it's next to the ocean so you have a view if you find parking ”
“ I've had a few days to digest my review of chronic tacos. I went for a bowl-rito and it was good. This place is interesting in the quick serve restaurant concept. The fact that they have a gringo or Baja style tells me they are still trying to find their place in the market...watching their clientele it's clear they know their customers. It wasn't bad food. My bowl hit the spot. I was beyond full. The salsas are a bit lemony but otherwise fine. ”
“ All the negative reviews were written by a bunch of entitled Karen’s that have way too high of expectations and never worked a customer service job before. I’ve never had a bad experience at a Chronic Taco. Ordered the chicken burrito and it was dank like usual. They make them super thick and it tastes amazing to me. Plus they sell the bottles coca colas too, which is ten times better then the other stuff. Employees were nice and put my order together super fast! ”
“ Great guys behind the counter and great food. Definitely worth a couple tries. ”
