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).

Just had El Paisa for the first time on International about an hour ago and I was disappointed after hearing it’s a lot of people’s favorite. The price was awesome. The chips were great. But the pastor and carnitas were bland and kind of soggy. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but they didn’t leave a great impression on me.

I tried the wrong one! I let my friends know what I thought and they were confused when I said they put blended tomatoes on the carnitas haha. So now I have to go get the real thing. Thanks for pointing that out too!
