a california burrito is basically a carne asada burrito with french fries replacing the rice and beans, and it's surprisingly tasty. so when i saw it on the menu at el balcon, i had to try it. and i'm glad that i did! it was delicious, and also very large. el balcon uses crinkle-cut garlic fries to kick it up from a regular california burrito. and it's really big . this was a great burrito! i noticed an item on the menu i had never seen before called pastelitos , which are fried corn puffs stuffed with pork, sort of like an empanada. these were served hot and they were delicious.
