Come here for a meal right after seeing University of California Riverside Botanic Gardens. Mexican and Spanish cuisines are must-order ones at this restaurant. Make a change from your habitual meal and taste perfectly cooked burrito bowl, tacos and spicy chicken at Chronic Tacos.
The staff is said to be gracious here. The spectacular service is a big plus of this place. From the visitors' point of view, prices are average. This spot is associated with the calm atmosphere. But google users haven't given this restaurant a high rating.

I’m so sad to be writing this cause I loved this place but I ordered chronic fries the other day and was greatly disappointed the fries were cold and mushy the beans were very bland but the steak and rice were very delicious still so the meal wasn’t that awful but it wasn’t as good as it used to be I guess they don’t make the fries on the spot anymore.

They do give you a lot of food. But like today seemed a bit off for them. Two of the guys didn’t really know what the two taco plate was and like had to check in with someone. Overall though. They did give me a lot of food to make up for it but at the same time they forgot my drink. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Price per person: $10–20

National Taco Day is on October 4 every year but today's recognition goes to Chronic Tacos their breakfast burritos, which I get with Impossible beef and discovered at the end of August 2025. I was rushing in before 11:30 AM to pick up his and hers to take home on an ice block. Now they are served all day, so I can pick them up later and has become a weekly thing. Impossible Beef, hash, and egg is the perfect base and for toppings, I get hubs cheese and hot sauce, I get cilantro and pico de gallo (The first time we tried the breakfast burritos with guac but it was more distracting and they are tastier without it ) I first tried Chronic Tacos the summer of 2018. Being vegetarian, I tried their potato taco, and the 2nd time made it into a meal with beans, Spanish rice, chips and spicy mayo. I made it back in 2020 when I learned they had Beyond Beef, and tried it on a burrito! I also made it in before 10 AM to try the Beyond Beef on a breakfast burrito I ordered the burritos with white rice, as I was kindly advised the Spanish rice has chicken broth(!). I wasn't made aware of this on my first visit when I ordered the Spanish rice with my potato taco, but fast forward to 2025 I was again made aware of this when I was about to order it with the Impossible Beef that they now carry. I wish Chronic Tacos made vegetarian Spanish rice or made it clear on their menu that it is not, but I am so glad they have sustained a vegetarian beef option. Spring Break week I picked up dinner to go twice, a good opportunity to support one of the few eateries open while the students are gone. The Bowl-Rito starts at $10.25 plus Impossible Beef for $2 and guac for $2.25. It was a hefty bowl for $14.50 and turned into 2 meals. Similarly the Burrito version would also be $14.50 but for an add'l $1.50 I had to try the Hot Cheeto Burrito, and hubs and I both were surprised by how good they were! Adding the Cheetos made the burritos ginormous so they also became 2 meals, dinner and lunch the next day. Although I can no longer handle dairy and prefer the breakfast burrito, I definitely recommend trying it! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Order type: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Recommended dishes: Beyond Beef Breakfast Burrito, Hot Cheeto Burrito Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend Vegetarian offerings: Vegetarian menu or section Vegetarian options: You can get Impossible Beef for your protein for $2, and it is delicious on the breakfast burrito which is now available all day. (Unfortunately the Spanish rice contains chicken broth and is not labeled on their menu as such but white rice is available.) Dietary restrictions: Protein or veggies, hash, and egg is the base for the breakfast burrito so cheese can easily be avoided Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid parking lot Parking: Chronic Tacos is located on UCR campus, so parking requires a permit which you can purchase at the hourly kiosk at Lot 6 if you don't have a campus permit Kid-friendliness: Located on a busy University campus not really meant for kids.
