Chronic Tacos Cerritos Reviews
I havent stepped foot into a chronic tacos in 15 years, and previously I had only ever ordered the tacos which were underwhelming. I got a Cali burrito today and it was delicious. Added some refried beans and hot salsa and it was perfect. They did run out of carnitas otherwise I woulda swapped meats. But I enjoyed every bite of it and I will return.
I ordered a "breakfast burrito!" This burrito was absolutely delicious and HUGE! I thought I would need help to carry it to my car. Definitely will go there again!👍👍👍
The food is amazing delicious 👏 😋. They vegan and veggitarian options. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options. They have great customer service, the older gentleman and the younger one are really nice.
It was my mom and I second time here and it was super cold tonight so inside was super warm! We enjoyed our hot meals in a warm environment. It was great! Staff was super helpful and chill also
Shrimp quesadilla!!! Grilled. Just get it. We'll stop by for churro bites some times. Good prices great food.

Really great food! I had a bowl, and my wife had tacos. All great! They even have potato tacos.
I love how they cater to Vegans and dont put cheap nasty Lard in their beans. Also the girl that helped us out was attentive in helping make the burrito🌯 . Way better than Chipotle in taste and salsas more authentic and dont taste like just some chili paste like chipotle.
The burrito was high lite, scrumptious , big Monstrous, did I say BIG. My server loaded it up with all the goodies including Russian caviar.....or was it guacamole....must have been guacamole yum. And it was $13 bucks and it covered dinner and lunch the next day. Highly recommended.
Took my mother-in-law. First time visiting after driving by a few of these several times. Kind young man behind the counter. Sizeable fish taco portion, solid side options, legit guac. Repeat!
I’ve loved Chronic Tacos since I was a teen growing up in Huntington Beach. This location did not disappoint! The fish tacos were as good as always, and the service was excellent!!!
I really love the quesadillas from here and the chips. The service was quick and staff was nice. It wasn't crowded at the time I went. I really would recommend people try them. My sister ordered a burrito from a different location but she really enjoyed it.
Always a bowl. Workers are the best.

I walked in here the other night about an hour from closing, and there was no employees. I waited for five minutes or so, until I gave up and went to subway next door. Not sure why it was abandoned, it was kind of spooky. I'd been here before in the past and it was never this strange.
Just a tip when picking up food by law those who are licensed like the workers should handle food and drink prepared by the workers. I’ve seen delivery drivers come get the food and fill their own drinks. That’s not the persons job for health and safety reasons. Update - 1/31/24 Looks like nothing is being done to get these workers taking money from others time. During pick up everything should be prepared. It’s not the person picking up the foods job to fill drinks. Update - 4/25/24 Lately I’ve been picking up food here and they do such an amazing job in having no food and drink ready to go. Wingstop always has this problem of never having the drink ready cause workers are so lazy.

Customer service sucks. Ladies there had nasty attitude, i felt like I was an inconvenience by being there. Went in the girl was eating a burrito then she stop eating and started taking my husband's order never washed her hands. I think these ladies need to have better customer services. LADY that was ordering after me had kids and she even look frustrated. Pinto beans like old and dried out. Rice was dry. Chicken was rotten. ASADA was pretty good. Fake nail girl should was her hands.
So I go in to order a bowl, and I’m doing low carb and high protein. I ask for half fajita veggies (which comes with guacamole) and half pastor. So when it gets to the part for the toppings, she ask if I want guacamole. I said yes but it’s not extra because it’s included with the veggies. So then the girls behind the counter begin arguing me down to the ground that I don’t get the guacamole because I didn’t order an all vegetarian bowl. But my bowl was $20, cuz I wanted two proteins. So $20 doesn’t get you guacamole these days??? Sheesh, if it were me, I would have just said yea no problem. ITS GUACAMOLE!!! And it didn’t even look homemade or fresh. Now I remember why I patronize the mom & pop places. 👎🏾🤦🏽♀️
Made the mistake of placing the order in a DIFFERENT STATE and they refused to get me my money back. Rachel Cruz the “Store Manager” refused to provided to aid or help me in any way. Coming from a field of customer service, I will never treat any customer this way. She refused to give me food because it was already made? Well enjoy my paid free food, and this review. Karma works in mysterious ways, I wish you the day you deserve for taking my hard on money especially a day before thanksgiving.
This was my go to for Mexican food but this location has quickly gone down hill. In the past 2 visits they have run out of food. The first time they didn't have any of their potato tacos which is what it is bit I placed a mobile order and they never contacted me that it was out and they didn't make any of my other items in the order. When I got there the place was packed and I ended up having to wait for them to make my order that I placed online almost 30 minutes before. This week I wanted lattuce on a burrito and they only had 5 small pieces of lettuce. When I asked if that was all the lettuce for the burrito they just said yes, nothing else. I wanted more lettuce for 2 tacos and they just said sorry, no more lettuce. How does a Mexican restaurant run out of lettuce??? And the service was horrible. I won't return.
It was my first time here and it was not that great! Service was bad!! My son got a pastor quesadilla and did not like it, I took it up to the front counter and the lady said we can’t do anything about it and I would have to pay if I wanted something else! Don’t waste your money here!
I have never had a more horrible tostada! The flour tortilla was stale and you could taste old oil, the tostada had rice, beans, chicken, cheese, Romain lett , it tasted salter than salt out of a shaker and so dry I could have choked. Two combinations you never want. Never will I go again woodruff store. Waste of money 💰
