Randy and Dan grew up in Orange County, California, where you could find a Mexican taqueria on every corner. The food was great, but they knew there was an opportunity to create a taco shop with not only authentic Mexican food, but with a unique vibe inspired by their Southern California roots - the Taco Life was born, and the first Chronic Tacos swung open its doors in 2002. Inspired by badass, 3rd generation recipes, a laid back experience with an irresistible edge, and personal, friendly service -the Taco Life movement continues to spread across the nation.
