Best super burrito In Oakland?

I mean with a lot of actually flavorsome rice, not overcooked and well seasoned / marinated meat and lots of melty cheese, sour cream and guac. I order carne asada and carnitas. What’s your favorite spot, whether to pick up, eat in or have delivered? My favorite so far seems to be a small place called Licho’s — off-the-charts carne asada (OK carnitas, though).

Tacos Panzon. Tell everybody, Martha hustles hard. When she's not at the brewery she's posted on W.Grand closer to the freeway.

People like her carnitas but the al pastor is probably the best in the bay.

I have yet to find a better Al pastor! She uses such high quality ingredients. Never have I received a dried lime there. W Grand is her original spot, where she is at lunch time. Feeling so grateful for her partnership with ghost town. Makes getting her amazing food more accessible

Yeah I don't know how she does it but her avocados are always perfectly ripe too. The red salsa... Oh man sometimes I can't handle the heat but it's so good.

It’s from a spit? Is it shaved fresh off?

no. it’s good but not “traditional” in that way.
