Chronic Tacos in Southern California - SunUp Group

Chronic Tacos, an Aliso Viejo-based business founded in 2002, is a hometown favorite for locals in the Orange County and Los Angeles regions. The Mexican Grill offers authentic third generation recipes made with locally grown, fresh ingredients bursting with flavors and the atmosphere is so inviting, you may not want to leave. In fact, owner Michael Mohammed encourages his customers to “watch sports on our TVs and have a beer” because he wants to create a comfortable and inviting experience.  What, then, is the next step for this delicious Mexican Grill? To expand of course!
