‘Hey bro, I guess I woke up with your chick this morning. My bad,’ says a heavily tattooed late-twenties or early-thirties guy sitting outside the Chronic Taco in Huntington Beach. It’s about three in the afternoon, but he has that groggy, just-got-out-of-bed-with-a hangover-and-isn’t-quite-with-it-yet air about him as he puffs on a cigarette and leisurely takes a bite out of his burrito from time to time.
His friend sitting across him takes a drag on his own cigarette, thinks for a moment, then shrugs his shoulders and says, ‘Huh. That was a weird night.’

There are a handful of beers on tap and a jukebox as well.
On Tuesdays, Chronic Taco offers several of its huge tacos
