I kind of had high hopes for Chronic Tacos. I heard about the original one in San Diego area from friend. He was telling me need to give it try. It been while since had tacos so figure Chronic Tacos it is.
The first impression is digging the vibe and the look of the restaurant. The artwork on the walls especially on one side with girl face painted like Day of the Dead. Pretty cool. The way the bar set up (really tiny bar and truth not bar bar but they do have HH specials, frozen margarita machines) different but in good way. They have lot of wide screens one above the bar area and few others spread out around the restaurant. The dining area more fast food looking cause you go up order and then pick spot eat if dining in.
The food was nothing memorable. I ordered three tacos (one al pastor, two carne asada). You have option of want corn or flour tortillas. I went with the corn cause true street taco no such thing as flour. Both the al pastor and carne asada it was ok. I have had way better at other taco shops around Vegas. Not huge fan seeing all the proteins sitting in containers all cooked or the tortillas instead of traditional on flat top they use press get it warmed up. To be fair both al pastor and carne asada not dried out but also lacked any kind of flavor. Carne asada more use finer diced chopped meat but here get nice size cubes. Both proteins you do get nice size portion. I also ordered Chronic Fries. It sounded good. The gentlemen took my order said it is one of the more popular menu items. Chronic Fries is basically nachos except instead of chips you have fresh fries right out of the fryer. You basically load it with whatever you want for the most part. I went with chicken, black beans, cheese, mild salsa, and it killing me forget this orange looking sauce that kicked it up another level. Nacho cheese fries or chili cheese fries. They got NOTHING on Chronic Fries. Not only do the fries hold up cause thinking so much toppings they would get soggy quick. The combinations of flavors with every bite is addicting. I wish I knew cause would have passed on the tacos.
The staff was awesome. The gentlemen took my order recommended the Chronic Fries and happy he did!!!! Friendly, nice, and attentive.
