Chronic Tacos is pretty much mexican food for white people. Like Chipotle, you can customize your burritos and tacos, as they are made in front of you. That's where the comparisons end, though. Their food and atmosphere are nothing alike, the companies have completely different psychographic segmentations. If you have no fucking clue what I'm saying just think Chipotle = hipster (trendy and pretentious douchebag) and Chronic Taco = extreme sportser (athletic and recreational drug using douchebag).
Chronic Taco's servicescape screams surfer bro, from the music to the decor. Everything looks totally rad, but how's the food? I got two "fatty" (insert obnoxious pot-fueled chuckles here) tacos with carne asada, lettuce, cheese, mild salsa, and guacamole on two corn tortillas.
The carne asada is dry and more quanity over quality, there are a few onions mixed in the meat for flavor that I could do without. Lettuce and cheese were standard but the mild salsa is upper echelon, chunky and tomato based. Unlike pretty much every taco place I've ever been to, guacamole is included so that's a plus; a good scoop of it was topped on each taco. What you're looking at is as good as it get in terms of what I like on my tacos ingredients wise. The average and salty carne asada holds them back from being true greatness, however.
