“Open 24 hours / 7 Days a week. Great spot for solid Mexican takeout. Decent prices, friendly and professional service. Great food made with quality ingredients. Very fresh. We go out of the way to patronize this location. Awesome variety of pretty much anything you could ever want. Drive up is 24 hours. Dining room closes at midnight I believe. Food is always made fresh to order.“

“Best food truck around!! We have been following them around town as they moved from place to place. Great enchiladas! Great service!“

“The food is just fantastic, thank you.“

“Easy walk at your-own-pace, tho on crowded days best keep a close eye out for the various wheeled bikes, especially if the 4-wheeled variety.. We were almost hit twice (teenage drivers texting!) and two parties trespassed onto a narrow gravel pedestrian walking path where said bikes are not allowed. Worth the risk, all the same!“

“oh my goodness, the tacos were so delicious. i considered going back the same day! i got the al pastor, carne asada, and malibu tacos. the malibu taco was unlike anything I’ve had, the tortilla was so plush! i can tell they put a lot of care into the tacos and the ingredients are super fresh. the presentation was also amazing, with the four different sauces lined up.“

“Awesome food, great staff, amazing prices. Stop everything and go here. Everything is so good! And the salsa bar is great too. I can’t pick a favorite dish. Today I ate the potato tacos and they were so good. I am slowly trying to order everything on the menu because everything is so delicious.“

“This place is a hidden gem. I loved everything even my kids loved it. We had the quesabirrias, gordita (asada), taco plate (asada), quesadilla (asada) and some tacos (buche).From food to service this place deserves a 5 star review. I extremely recommend it!!“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to try the cuisine at the new Port Orchard location. Yareli took charge of my order at my request. I was served the best fish taco's with Verde Salsa and lime. The three taco's reminded me of eating a chefs delightful creation at a high end Bistro. I was instantly transported back in time to Mazatlán eating on the playa. I would not order fish taco's normally and Yareli picked this winner for me. Each bite was followed by a uhmmm. I expected something to tear me out of this euphoric moment but after downing three taco's I was still firmly planted in Heaven. I was wise to drip the juices and seasoning from the taco into the rice. What a nice way to accent my meal. I braced myself for the refried beans that had grown cool but found them very fresh and delicious. Yareli inquired if I would desire a dessert. I asked her to pick it since her performance on the meal was top notch. Yareli provided a strawberry filled fried churro with the most delicate aroma. I would have licked the plate if I thought I could do it without being seen. Every bite was warm, sweet and delicious. Please don't think ill of me but the only downside to this experience was cheap silverware and the food is placed on a metal tray with a paper liner. It's my own fault after being in the military so long to develop a phobia over dining utensils. So in a nutshell my experience is on par with being given a shiny new high performance car but with the wrong style valve caps for the tires. I have been truly blessed to have this experience on a rainy night in Port Orchard Washington.“

“Always have a great time here. Absolutely love what they’ve done with the place. New owners and staff are making this place a favorite of mine.“

“We absolutely LOVE this place! I cannot recommend the torta oaxcaeña enough! Personally, I get adobada because that's my favorite choice of meat. It's so tender and flavorful. Ugh. Love. And the horchata is delicious. Seriously, this is a regular favorite of ours“

“Got Fajitas from them outside the Tacoma crafts fair. They were very friendly, the food was delicious, and I highly recommend. The refried beans were the best I'd ever had as a person who has texture issues with beans.“

“Diverse menu, and everything we've had there so far has been very good. Friendly staff, clean & bright interior. Prices are reasonable for today's rates, and portions are generous. Easy access from much of greater Tacoma, Graham, Mtn Highway.“

“Love Chronic Tacos. MY GUy the cook, puts his heart and soul in the food. It has tasted so much better in his craft of cooking.
This time I got the burrito, so wonderfully made, chips and queso and my one 🌽.
My son got the shrimp quesadilla and hubby got the battered 🍤 burrito.
Thank you Chronic tacos for the great customer service.“

“These are some of the best tacos around!“
