Chronic Tacos was founded in 2001 by Randy Wyner and Dan Biello. The pair opened their first location in Newport Beach, California, because they felt they had to travel too far to find authentic Mexican tacos. They enlisted the help of a Mexican-American friend to be certain they were using an authentic recipe.
The company began franchise operations in 2004. The first franchise was in San Clemente, California.
In 2008, the company opened its first location in Japan.
The Mohammed brothers, Michael, Dave, Dan, and Joey, opened a franchise in Canada in 2010. They loved the company so much that they purchased it for an undisclosed amount in 2012.
Today, Chronic Tacos has 35 locations in California, Nevada, and British Columbia, Canada. All 4 Mohammed brothers work for the company, with Michael acting as both CEO and CFO. The company plans to expand to 100 locations in the next 5 years.
Chronic Tacos celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021 by doing a nationwide tour.
Chronic Tacos maintains a corporate office in Aliso Viejo, California.
