A friend of mine who recently became vegan and I hit la costena yesturday and did the burrito thing. I'm vegetarian but do dairy & eggs. I've been feelings this bloaty, sometimes low level nausea after eating burritos -- I thought it might be the dairy so I started eliminating the sour cream. Anyway, after the burritos I got the same symptoms as before and so did my friend. She asked if the tortillas were made with lard -- apparently most tortillas are. I said I didn't know -- I couldn't imagine needing lard to make them so why would they add it? Well we went back and asked and were told that both the regular and the whole wheat tortillas both are made with lard. I love it how they say their black beans have no lard in them -- but then the tortillas do. Sigh. I haven't talked with the manager yet and dunno if s/he will pay any attention, so if you see someone packing their own tortilla shell to la costena or burrito real in mtn. view and she has blonde hair, you might wanna say "hi"...:-/. ~linda
