This place is excellent! It does not miss! The Mrs and I come here pretty regularly (probably like 30x in the last few years), so we are familiar with the food, drink, service, and ambiance. The food is just delicious! Some dishes are regular. Some are new, often creative and flavorful. They keep it interesting and novel with new dishes. My favorites are the focaccia bread, prawns (new), ceviche, maple apple salad, prawn pasta, and steak frites. The steak and fries are really something special! Jason and his Team are excellent! Good service. Friendly and warm. As a South Bay native, Jason captures the local vibe of being friendly, chill (80s slang), and polite. His Team is the same, and I like it! I also notice that if a couple wants more quiet time, they catch the pulse and give more space. That's called reading the room! After a meal here, I always walk away thinking "man, another hit. So good!" And, the wife loves it too! read more

4-1/2 stars Came for a celebratory dinner and service was really nice, if a bit understaffed and slow. Inside is small and really loud, so you might need to shout to hear each other. We opted for a few small dishes to share, including: - Kanpachi ceviche (4/5) very light and refreshing. Wish there were more of the fish, though - Sugar cube melon and lemon cucumber salad (5/5) super ripe cantaloupe and plenty of zing in every bite. My favorite dish! - Hand rolled spaghetti (3.5/5) it was a pesto spaghetti dish that was very flavorful, but I wasn't blown away by the handmade spaghetti: it could've been more al dente and the sauce didn't really taste like pesto; I tasted mostly lemon. A bit overly salty, too - Smoked and 1/2 fried chicken (3.5/5) the chicken was beautiful fried, with a thin yet hardy crackling interior that I hadn't quite had before in fried chicken. Sauce was sweet in its soy sauce base, but some cuts of meat were on the dry side - Coffee toffee pudding (3/5) probably the weakest of the bunch: we waited 8-10 minutes for it (as advertised), and it came in...a mug?? Not the most beautifully-presented, and overall, I did not get a lot of the pudding inside, mostly the toppings. Given that it's $12 for otherwise a microwavable dessert, it was disappointing - Chocolate flan (5/5) now this hit the spot! Honestly, it didn't even taste like flan, but rather a very smooth cheesecake. We're glad we added it on at the last minute! Overall, plenty of punchy flavors and innovative dishes that change monthly. However, the price point ($33+) per dish for such small plates is a bit much, but I can see myself returning for special occasions (and their breakfast burritos)! read more

Great place for a large group dinner.... Came here for my friend's birthday dinner, and it was great. Our waiter was the man. Super attentive and explained the menu well, especially since we were sharing. The bread is a must get, we got a the ceviche (super tangy and good) and french onion toast. The pork and rib eye were our favs. So tender, perfectly charred. The coffee toffee pudding dessert was also a must get. Will be back for future large group dinners. read more

Baran's 2239 - bacon breakfast burrito - New American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Baran's is a michelin guided recommended restaurant that sells breakfast burritos. Definitly overhyped and being able to sell so much based off the michelin recommendation which I believe is from their fancy dinners and not the burrito itself. The instagrammers would say otherwise. Don't get me wrong, this burrito is still delicious and tasty. I ordered through Instagram a few days beforehand. I got a bacon and a chorizo and they were both pretty good, but I feel like nothing really to rave about. Came with a nice green and red sauce. I would recommend the spot however if you're unable to get one due to them selling out so quick, I wouldn't be too bummed out about it. read more

We come back to Baran's for their food... they are real adventurers of the flavors!!!! And they make daredevil changes in their menu almost every month, so they keep their diners always in anticipation. Yesterday was no different and we enjoyed a new incredible pea straw berry salad and also new in the menu the French onion toast.. for sure we had our traditional Indian egg and to close steak fritters with a bottle of French white from their large wine cellar... with the attentive service of our twin friends and everybody else at Baran's the ambience turns in to a pleasure... and all this in our neighborhood in Redondo Beach... don't miss the opportunity to adventure in this fine cuisine marvel !!! read more

Dude, did you know the Breakfast Burrito Bros Jason & Jonathan at @barans2239 in Hermosa Beach actually serves elevated California Cuisine in the evening? Wow, it's impressive. Going back to the food! From the Hamachi Crudo, fresh baked focaccia, a radicchio salad that isn't bitter, a crispy skin Branzino filet in a pool of red coconut curry, addictive slurpy mushroom spaghetti and steak frites with the NY Strip perfectly grilled and frites triple cooked to achieve a crispy outer and a creamy potato center. It was simply an overall wonderful dinner which I wished I had two extra stomachs! 10/10 Service is amazing and ambiance is a bit cozy and with a cool moody vibe. It's a bit dim inside by the way. The parking lot is small, so think ahead about that. Make reservations via Open Table. Know that you are gonna put this place on repeat the moment you take a bite. read more

Sleeper restaurant, true hidden gem! Very inconspicuous and I've never noticed it before. The place is small and loud and you may have to wait a bit but the host is so gracious and attentive. The service is outstanding! Food is meant to be shared and is perfect for a night out or celebration. The dishes are so imaginative--flavorful and visually appealing. We started off with cheese appetizer to warm up. Not amazing but a solid starter. The badger flame beet salad was very tasty with pistachio and ruby red grapefruit. Not much greens but delicious. The hamachi crudo tasted fresh but I'm a purist and always prefer the fish flavor over the vinaigrette dressing. The beef tartare was a tad under seasoned imo. The mains blew my mind. Usually the mains are outshined by the starters in a fine dining establishment. Not here! The Indian egg was something I've never had. A soft boiled egg enveloped with an Indian spiced sausage was surrounded by cucumber, sumac, and yogurt. A mandatory order. The smoked and fried chicken (brined a few days prior per our server) was hot, delicious, and complimented with a soy and chile sauce. Great meal in itself. Get it! Hand rolled spaghetti was coiled with a mixture of mushrooms in a brown butter sauce. Super savory. Great starch, goes well with everything. Can't wait to try more dishes during future visits! read more

Hands down the best breakfast burrito! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Definitely worth the hype and easily one of my favorite breakfast spots. My only suggestion would be to include some chips on the side with the burrito for the price and that would make it perfect read more

It's been a few years since I've been here but I'm happy to report Chef Tyler and crew are still serving up Michelin quality food even though it's been a few years since they've won the award. Service was on point from the start and the ambiance was energetic for a Tuesday night. Party of 4 and we got an assortment of dishes. read more

This is a long overdue review. I am only reviewing the Breakfast Burritos which are offered Friday, Saturday and a Sunday only. On Wednesday they post the special of the week in Instagram. So follow them now!!! Each week it's a unique special create by the burrito masters at Barrans. You can also order Bacon or Chorizo each week as well. DM your order and they will give you a pick up time. Staff is super efficient at both responding to DMs and getting the food out at your assigned time slot. It's a small parking lot but they are open til noon to hand out your order. This is one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had. The bacon is a classic that can only be loved. It's the safety valve if you don't want the special. My son love the Chorizo and I like to try the specials from time to time, if I'm fast enough to get my order in as they do sell out fast. When you pick up your order it feels like you just win a prize. I like to head down to the pier and enjoy the weather in Beautiful Hermosa while having the best burrito ever. It has never disappointed. And when I surprise a friend with the burrito it always makes their day. If you see a best burrito list without Barrans listed then unfollow that influencer. This place is amazing. read more

Baran's 2239 - Best breakfast burrito in the world - New American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

I have been seeing Baran's 2239 online and decided to check it out. They are known for their breakfast burritos. The chorizo and bacon burritos were packed with flavorful meat, crispy hash browns, soft eggs, and green onions for a perfect crunch. The salsas were the perfect addition, they give you a smoky red sauce and zesty green salsa, both had a really good kick of heat. At $15 and some change, it's standard pricing for the quality, and it completely delivered. Calling ahead for a pickup order was seamless and quick. Highly recommend! read more

Serving good food from an eclectic menu, Baran's 2239 is a small, unassuming restaurant located in a small strip mall on PCH in Hermosa Beach. Back in 2019, it even earned Michelin's Bib Gourmand designation which recognizes "high-quality food at a great value." Food: As mentioned, the menu is eclectic, offering everything from hamachi sashimi to a maple apple salad to Brazilian braised beef cheek to hand rolled spaghetti to a bone-in ribeye. I ordered the steak tartare, blistered shishito peppers, and Indian egg. The steak tartare was prepared simply with a horseradish cream and chives, and served on a rosti (a pancake made from grated potatoes) with an egg yolk gel. The tartare was simple and clean, with a hint of horseradish flavor, and the rosti took the place of the typical bread slice, tasting like crispy hash brown. Unfortunately, on this night, the tartare was overly salty, and the egg yolk gel wasn't runny enough. It's a good dish that was just off this night. The blistered shishito peppers were a pleasant surprise because shishito peppers are usually a throw-away appetizer, prepared without any care. But at Baran's, the blistered shishito peppers are prepared with soy and scallion butter, and served on a miso eggplant puree along with sushi rice croutons. The puree reminded me of a creamy baba ganoush, and the croutons added a very nice, crunchy textural difference. Another good dish. The Indian egg (known as nargishi kofta) is similar to the well-known Scotch egg (a soft-boiled egg wrapped in sausage, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep fried). In fact, there is a debate as to whether the Scotch egg was invented independently in Yorkshire or inspired by the Indian egg. The Baran's Indian egg is a soft-boiled egg wrapped in lamb sausage, served on a curry jus, and surrounded by cucumber slices with sumac yogurt. All together, the flavors were good, with a hint of curry and the cucumber slices providing a refreshing contrast to the lamb sausage. I would have like some breading or coating (as found with a Scotch egg) to provide some texture and crunch, but once again, a good dish. Service: The service was friendly and welcoming. The servers had a relaxed look that I would describe it as "clean casual." Bottom Line: I very much enjoyed my meal at Baran's. The menu was interesting, and the food is prepared well. Note 1 - Baran's is also known for their breakfast burritos. According to Eater, "[t]he Michelin-awarded Baran's 2239 in Hermosa Beach is a breakfast burrito beast, selling more than 100 an hour on weekends." Note 2 - I sat at the "bar." However, the bar is really just a counter that faces a wall with wine glasses (and wine bottles below). The servers do go behind the counter to grab glasses and bottles, but it isn't nearly as interesting as sitting at a true bar. Next time, I will sit at a table. read more

Can only speak for the burrito experience. I got the chicken vindaloo special and it was great. Good amount of flavoring, the chicken was tender and the tots and eggs were cooked nicely. The cilantro lime sauce went very well with it. The staff was very friendly. I feel the og breakfast burrito is still my favorite so far. read more

Baran's 2239 - Chicken vindaloo breakfast burrito - New American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Highly recommend their breakfast burrito - it does not disappoint. I ordered a couple of nights ahead through Instagram for Sunday morning. I was able to pick the time I wanted and the burrito was ready when I arrived. The parking lot had some open spots so it was an overall easy experience. I got the bacon breakfast burrito and it was one of the best I've had. The perfect ratios of melty cheese, crispy tator tots, eggs, bacon, and scallions. read more

Baran's 2239 - New American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Had the bacon breakfast burrito today. I might try the chorizo which a lot of people say is better another day, especially if someone else is paying. Overall, three out of five stars . The best breakfast burrito in LA or you've ever had is quite a strong statement as a lot of people have been saying on the Internet... so I had high expectations . Unfortunately my favorite part of the burrito was the tortilla. The sauces and eggs on the burrito were also decent . Why this particular burrito wasn't for me is that they use American cheese and instead of a sharp cheddar or a Mexican blend with or Monterey Jack, which I personally prefer. ( correction I was informed that it is a cheddar Jack blend however it is so mild tasted like American cheese. I don't know.) ** Anyway I still Can't don't think tater tots belong on a burrito . I had a feeling that this wasn't going to be for me, but I wanted to give this place thr benefit of the doubt . I really wanted to be won over but I wasn't today . The people that work were here seem friendly enough . I might come back for dinner as they seem like they have some really interesting items. read more

Baran's 2239 - Entrance - New American Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Baran's is a local favorite of mine and my friend. I brought her here for her Birthday dinner. I ordered a glass of pinot noir as we were deciding what to order. We usually get smoked fried chicken, but we wanted to try a few dishes that we've never had in our previous visits. Started off with the Hamachi sashimi, shaved fennel with a mandarin vin, castelvetrano olive relish and toasted sesame. Wow. This starter was so refreshingly light and the hamachi was so delicate and delicious. Next we shared the blistered shishito peppers which was soy charred, scallion butter, miso eggplant puree and with rice croutons. The shishito peppers had quite the spicy heat to them. If you don't like spicy, you may want to skip this dish, however, we loved it. The eggplant puree along with the rice crutons nicely balanced the heat from the shishito peppers. Our 3rd dish we shared the steak frites. Grilled New York strip steak perfectly cooked to order medium, in a au poivre sauce and garlic aioli, served with frites. We're both a big fan of rib eye and not NY strip, but this was cooked perfectly and the au poivre sauce made the dish. And the frites....OMG, these were the best frites we had. Even better than MB Post, which we love their fries. The frites were crisp and so tender after the nice crunch. I think they must be fried in duck fat. We had to make sure we saved room for dessert. We always get the coffee toffee pudding. This we do not share. We made the mistake years ago when we shared this dessert. That was a big mistake. Almost ended our friendship. So now we each get our own coffee toffee pudding. If you haven't had this, you need to get this. Just make sure you have enough room to enjoy it. Note: if you pay by credit card, 3% will be added to the bill. Service at Baran's is always friendly and attentive without overbearing. Parking is always challenging since the lot is so small and it's shared with a couple of other businesses. We always park on the street in the neighborhood. read more

I saw this place pop on my feed on IG, and this guy said these were the best Breakfast Burritos in LA. I have my Doctorate in Breakfast Burritos, so I had to go check them out. I've separated Breakfast Burritos into 2 types. OG, which is the classic Lucky Boy type, & New Age, which usually has different or specialty ingredients. I ordered 2, 1 Carnitas, 1 classic Bacon. They were both very good, but i think the classic bacon was actually the stand out. This place only sells Burritos Fri, Sat, & Sunday, and they close at 1pm. The post what the special is going to be Wednesday on their IG story. You order by DM. All the salsas were good, the Burritos were very well balanced. But I can't give them best BB in LA. That still goes to Macheen, followed by LA Azteca. But I'd say they make the Top 5. Try them out and go eat at the beach, which is only a few blocks away. read more

Finally crossed this place off my list! It is an involved process to snag their breakfast burritos (only avail fri-sun), esp their Friday special which sells out fast. I DMed them wed for fri pickup and they responded fairly quickly. Friday pickup was a bit hectic. The parking lot out front was packed with cars and there was construction on the side street making it harder to navigate. The actual pick up was pretty quick and easy; you give your name, they confirm your order and you pay. I was probably in and out in less than 5 min. We ordered a chorizo burrito (4.5/5) and a bacon burrito (4/5). The chorizo was our favorite. It was super flavorful with housemade chorizo, crispy hash browns, melted cheese and chopped green onions. Paired well with both sauces. The bacon one was cheesier but a bit salty and I couldn't taste the hash browns as much. The green onions stood out more in this one and I would've liked even more. The one thing I didn't like was the thick folds at the top and bottom; no one wants a tortilla only bite. Overall the burritos were good but I don't see myself coming often (mostly bc of the order/pickup process). Their service could be improved...I know it's just an order pickup but it felt transactional, almost unwelcoming (maybe bc I'm not one of their regulars). read more

Yep, you need to send a message on Instagram to reserve your breakfast burrito. I dm on Friday night and was able to get a Saturday morning pickup time. Baran's is located in a small strip mall, parking in the front. Ordered the Bacon breakfast burrito and chorizo - both were pretty good, not overly large. The reason for 4 stars is that I don't care for green onions and the burrito was loaded with too much green onions. Overall, delicious breakfast burrito, satisfying, the red sauce is very hot! read more

I called on Wednesday to place an order for Sunday, a bacon and a chorizo burrito. People that were in front of us wanted to order in-person and we overheard it would take 40 minutes. A lot of the reviews on Yelp are more focused towards the Breakfast Burrito. I'm kind of surprised that this is a fine dining restaurant, the location and interior didn't stand out to me. The burrito was rather small and expensive, I usually only eat half of a burrito be be full but I ate this entire burrito. The burrito tastes mushy and all the textures are blended into each other. I wish that they opened seating during pick up time, by the time you bring it home it's barely warm. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

I love their burritos, costly but I find them to be worth the money. You must order your burritos in advance. Last time I ordered just one day in advance. Don't take a chance order early, they sell a lot of burritos. read more

I finally got my hands on a bacon breakfast burrito from here after years of wanting to try them. The breakfast burrito was underwhelming. I expected more from the hype and from how hard it is to get your hands on one. It may be a supply and demand strategy. The burrito was good, but it tasted like any other breakfast burrito. It also gave me a minor stomach ache. read more

I've loved this place for years but haven't been back in a while b/c my wife thinks the food is too flavor-forward and too spicy. (We lovingly disagree). Went there tonight and had the steak frites, Branzino, green beans and mushroom toast. All awesome. The fries - the best I've ever had. They cook them 3x. Perfection. Do urself a favor - eat these fries. read more

By far the best tasting food in the South Bay. I can't believe I haven't written a review about Barans earlier. Their menu is innovative, fresh, seasonal without trying too hard. The food just tastes delicious, every single time! The service is also incredible! Jason, his family and the staff and incredibly attentive, focused and do everything to make sure you have a great dining experience! They will remember what you drank the last time, what you ordered and your name. Please bring the vongole back, my husband is about to start a petition! read more

I honestly don't understand the hype around this place. I'm originally from NorCal and was excited to finally try it after reading the reviews, but it ended up feeling like a waste of a trip. With how quickly they sell out and the fact that you have to pre-order, I was expecting the best breakfast burrito in town. I asked which one was their most popular, and they recommended the chorizo breakfast burrito so that's what we went with. If I'd known how small it was, I probably would've ordered a second one for my bf but good thing I didn't. After the first bite, I was disappointed. The meat and fillings were dry and overly salty, with little flavor overall. The sauces didn't add much either--it just tasted like a very basic breakfast burrito you could find anywhere. On top of that, the service was off-putting. The lady working there was stingy with napkins, even though I had to keep going back to ask for more. Don't plan on ever coming back. read more

Overdue review for one of the best meals in LA. Wifey and I had a great date night here about a year ago and have been itching to go back. We all know about their world class Brekky Bs but what's totally overlooked is their dinner service. Yes Chef. I'm gonna lie I don't 100% remember we ate but I do remember 100% that everything was 150% excellent. My next review I'll come correct, but for my first review I want to assure you will have an awesome meal and an equally great time. The owners are generally there and the atmosphere is always jovial and warm. Now you know go get it! read more

We drove from Pasadena out to Barran's on a Saturday morning to try this infamous breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. This is coming from a couple who have been trying to find the best breakfast burrito in town in SoCal over the last few years. We called in our order on the drive (so about 45-1hr ahead of time). In the mornings, the seating is closed and it's only pickup only. Staff was incredible - we also bought a bag of coffee beans for home use. The restaurant was located in a strip mall so there's a small parking lot. TLDR - worth the hype read more

One of my favorite breakfast burritos in the LA area! Got one bacon, one chorizo, and both were very well balanced and tasted so fresh. Perfectly melted cheese, and both the potatoes and eggs were cooked to a fantastic texture. They weren't overly massive, which I personally appreciate, and neither burrito was dry at all, which sometimes happens with breakfast burritos. Can't speak to the service because we got these to-go. Parking was easy, as there's a lot right out front. The food was 5 stars for me, but the reason the overall rating is a 5 is that the service was quite cold - I ordered through IG DMs, and I legitimately thought I'd done something wrong because of the curt responses. read more

There is a lot of hype around Barans breakfast burritos, so had to come try it out. We pre ordered via their instagram on Wednesday and the pick up was very fast and easy. Each breakfast burritos was about $15, which to me is a little pricey for the size of their burritos. I'm gonna be honest and don't understand the hype of their burritos. There are a lot of better breakfast burritos all over OC and LA for the same price if not cheaper. We got the bacon and chorizo burrito. The bacon burrito was very boring and not much flavor to it. The chorizo burrito was definitely a lot better in terms of flavor. The eggs and the tater tots in both burritos were good, nothing spectacular. If it was cheaper I'd give it a higher rating but for $15 for a smaller burrito and average taste, I would give it a 3.5 at best for the chorizo burrito. read more

Limited menu. Not great for diners on restricted diets (dairy-free and vegetarian). Was expecting a lot because of the Michelin star but it just felt like a small neighborhood restaurant with a short but interesting menu to me. We were there mid-week and felt rushed by the hard and fast 90-minute reservation rule that was politely enforced. Overall, not a great place for a leisurely catchup dinner with friends. That said, if the menu looks good to you and you're curious to try the food, it was well-executed. I'm just not the target customer for it. read more
