Barran's sister burrito is pretty good. I can’t understand the hype based on just their Cali Burrito, but I can confirm that it is a good one. Carne asada remains their best meat, beefy with a bit of char from the grill. There's a good ratio of beans to cheese to salsa, the fries add some much-needed texture, and the tortilla is tops.
The tacos are still good, no change there, no need to improve on the carne asada anyway. Al pastor has a good seasoning, and I love the pineapple, but there is better pastor to be found in LA. I love the combination of sweet potato and mushroom, and I absolutely love the char on the sweet potato as it gets a bit caramelized. It's a substantial filling and good enough that vegetarians won't feel like they went without. It could be a lot less oily, then again, that oil is delicious.
Still a good taco spot, one of the Beach Cities’ betters. I still prefer LA proper, but I'm grateful that the South Bay has something good.
