    This spot is pretty busy all day long and its no surprise once you try the food.  The carnitas are a must try- they are surprisingly sweet due to the caramelization process.  The combination of carnitas and guacamole is outstanding.

    The food is very consistent and the staff is quick and friendly.  The location is tiny and can get pretty cramped, but its the "original" first location for this chain and this somehow seems to impart a little something extra to the food.

    We shared the two taco plate and had one grilled shrimp taco and one el pastor taco. Comes with beans and Spanish rice. $9 ($1 extra for shrimps)

    With yelp check in we got free chips and salsa

    The food was delish. The service was  very friendly  

    We walked here from Huntington Beach pier, where there was the surf competition.  

    We walked ten miles today.

    Excellent little taco shop tucked away in this busy shopping center. Great tacos and meat filling options, including Beyond Beef for us veggies. The food was fresh, toppings were legit, rice and beans were excellent too. Loved it and we will be back when we visit town again.

    Awesome rainy Saturday. Craving Chronic...tacos that is! Came over here on Coast highway to get myself a carnitas fix. Love the people that work here. So nice, so quick! We also ordered 2 big, fat bean and cheese burritos. Nothing more satisfying as some big fatties.
    As always this place rocks for customer service and deeeelicious quality food. Love their chips, all their tacos and burritos. Great prices.
    Located behind the flower kiosk stand and across from Rose Bakery. Small parking space but worth it!

    Grilled fish tacos were extra spicy and delicious. I've been coming to this location for about 10 years now and the woman manager is always so nice and kind.
    As an out of towner, i like coming here for the authentic California taco experience
