Love their tacos here! They have great hot sauce too. Place is not packed during dinner time and host is friendly. I just wish they could clean the bathroom more?

It's about as close to a SoCal taqueria as you can get here . 
There's lots of authentic Mexican places in metro Vancouver now. 
However if you crave that SoCal style of Mexican American food it's hard to find a good place. I saw this place a few weeks ago and decided to try it.
 We both ordered one of their burritos my partner had a bean burrito I had the beef. The tortilla was fresh flavorful and really a nice texture. The rice had nice flavor and the beans beef ect all tasted quite good. I could taste all the ingredients and they all seemed fresh and complemented each other. I was pretty happy and we were both stuffed full by the end of it . The atmosphere seems kinda movie settish but, it works well.
 Service is par for the course . You walk up order and take your,food,to your seat.  You would be hard to find a place doing this style of,burrito in metrovancouver as good as chronic. It borderlines on magical but, the constraints of being a chain keeps it from perfection. Overall very good

They almost get it right. I really want to love this place because I love fish tacos and there are so few places around here that make them to order but they are so inconsistent except the service which is consistently mediocre. I have had wonderful food here and disappointing food here. I would say its a 50/50 chance you'll get a nice fresh fish taco despite the fact it's their signature dish. The burritos are okay nothing special(but cost more than other taco places...)the sides are usually good, partly the reason I keep going back my little girl loves the black beans and Spanish rice. The fresh salsa and chips are good too but you have to ask for "fresh" salsa out of the taco area other wise they give you a little cup of once fresh salas that was portioned and refrigerated long ago. Don't bother complaing if your fish arrives soggy oily and cold they won't redo it...I was directed to write a complaint on their web site to which I never received even an appologie for, they said the manager would be notified? The other thing that is annoying is the menu is not easy to understand I am always unclear about what costs extra and what is included and how the combos add up etc...and its not even cheap to eat hetr the fish tacos with chips are about the same price that I pay at Cactus Club...

Fish tacos are the best. But if you want the best deal for your money get a burrito! And remember. This place isn't cheap. It's Mexican subway. Delicious as F#%k tho

OK Mexican American. I've been in a few times over the last 6 months as they're right around the corner from my place. I've always found the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. The food is pretty much quick service California Mexican similar to and a cut above what you would find in Taco Del Mar. If you're looking for authenticity, you're in the wrong place. I've enjoyed the Flautas, the Tostado bowl and the tacos. All of the Chicken Asado, the Carnitas and the Pork al Pastor have been fine. I haven't tried the other proteins. They just need a little jazzing up with hot sauce. I like the red and black design of the interior, especially the chandelier. It looks cool and offbeat in, essentially, a raw space.

Better now, only get the fish taco. The old owners had horrible staff that were high, drunk, and stupid. New owners seem to have gotten things better.

Only come for the tacos - specifically the Baja style grilled fish - they are great. Better than great - but you will have to wait for them.

Can't say I like the burritos they do, you just end up with way too much tortilla on one side that acts as a pressure plate designed to spray the contents on to your pants when you bite in.

Been here twice now. And it's a pretty good tex mex joint! I'm assuming either management has changed or they decided to step thing up. The staff were all super nice. Food was fresh. I order the chicken tostada bowl with guac. Comes to $11.00. Portions match the price. Decor is kinda like a biker/Ed Hardy hangout with comfy booths and high top tables. Also serves liquor.
Almost as good as Chipotles... Just missing the corn salsa.

Delicious!! Contrary to the older reviews the staff was very friendly and helpful. I've been to the Broadway location and the Nee West one lives up to their reputation of delicious food. I ordered the carne asada burrito. It is massive! So good though. They make everything in house and fresh (one of the friendly staff told me that). Anyway-- if you're looking for "authentic Mexican" food this place isn't it. Go to a Mexican restaurant. This place is for the tex-mex or LA style burritos. Equally great though.

Why all the hatred?. I absolutely love Chronic Tacos, I was always travelling to the Broadway location; which is a little out of the way. I saw that they had one in New West and it took me to what is (without a doubt) THE best Chronic Tacos in the lower mainland.

Firstly, service here is top notch. My orders tend to be a bit more complex then your average order as I tend to order double fish burritos like they're going out of style. The staff here is wonderful, and they never seem annoyed or anything they treat it like a challenge. They have so much enthusiasm and energy, it's infectious. Everytime I go, there's a newcomer, and you can see the excitement in their eyes. You can tell they just love it.

Nevermind the food, which I've had no complaints about since I've gone, and I go once every week or two.

If the management is listening, I want them to know that they're killing it and that they have a patron for life (or until the fish burritos kill me)

Good Comfort Food. Been here a couple of times and so far I'm quite impressed! Really like the shrimp tacos, carnitas and the tostada bowls. The prices are very reasonable and the people that work there seem very laid back and relaxed. Very friendly people.

We have visited this place twice their veggie tacos are very tasty and veggie rice bowl were also very good. One thing is a must try is their churros. They are crisp and sweet is perfect. Must try for their churros.

There is a strong reason why I am giving this place 5 stars as this place was not a 5 star location a couple years ago or for arguments sake, even a year ago. They have either gotten new ownership or changed their staff as one of the gentleman there, an East Indian male, is arguably one of the friendliest people I have met coming into a fast food restaurant. He is very kind and understanding, while working to make sure your meal is made to your perfection while going out of his way to ensure it is made that way. In fact, one time my partner forgot her wallet and was about to walk away when he said to her that it is fine and made her the meal and sent her on her way with a smile. Of course my partner went back the next day and paid for the meal - but it was this generosity that makes me want to come back. In terms of the food - we usually only buy bowls and so cannot speak beyond the quality of those. The bowls are great and we will continue to come here to enjoy them. I know others here are posted about the lack of quality in the other meals that may be made, however I cannot speak to those. Service - 5 star Bowls - 5 star Definitely will be returning.
