Chronic tacos is just above average. I would say it's a glorified Chipotle with it's assembly line of ingredients. There are many mexican food places that I would choose over this place like Las Golondrinas, Los Primos or Taco Mesa. I rate Mexican food based on their beans. If a place makes good beans, you know it's good. If you cannot make good beans, how can you call yourself a Mexican restaurant. I rate Chronic's beans like all their food - above average. The rice was mushy and had no flavor while the chips were salty and flavorless. The salsa was decent. I didn't care for their breakfast burrito at all. I did like the carnitas though. Overall, you could do better.

I've tried 5 different menu items so far and each one has been tasty, satisfying, and healthy. Easily the best food for the price. My favorite dish is the Chilaquiles Ranchero. Because each ingredient tastes good by itself, the combined flavors tickle the palette. You can taste why food tastes better when prepared by a top-tier chef. Chef Dee is usually serving customers and is very personable. It's a mom and pop restaurant that doesn't make mom and pop kind of food. Every menu item at Break of Dawn is superior. NIce relaxed atmosphere indoors and a beautiful patio. So glad I found it!

I've been going to Gina's about once a week over the last 5 years. I've perfected my favorite pizza over this time. Be sure to order the following.

Small thin crust pizza extra crispy. Toppings: pepperoni, bacon bits, and red onions. Ask that the pepperonis are put on top of the pizza.

What you get is the most amazing flavors ever put together. The pepperoni, bacon, and onion combination is tasty. Since the pepperoni is on top during cooking, it will be slightly burned around the edges and provides a taste you will love. They taste like pepperoni potato chips.

The pizza must be crispy! So expect the pizza to be a little charred around the crust. The blacker, the better! Then when you pull off a slice, the slice doesn't bend much.

Only order this special pizza as a small or the pizza won't come out right. It's too hard to make the medium and large pizzas crispy throughout. When preparing the dough, they use the smaller, piccolo portion of dough and stretch it into a small. That's the key to the thin crust.

There's enough pizza to feed two, but I can usually finish it off myself. Once, I had them cut the pizza into tiny squares and ate them up like it was popcorn.

Every time I order this, I offer slices to people and they all say this is the best pizza they have ever had. It will take about 20-30 minutes to make, but it's worth the wait. If you don't like this pizza then you don't deserve to eat out!

Be sure to have a pint of Firestone Double Barrel Pale Ale with the pizza.

Enjoy
