^red burrito has been bad for me too. only went once and thought it was maybe slightly better than taco del mar, which is BAD. check out chipotles in washington for a better version of taco del mar

Yeah, I'm not usually a fan of the wrap style places but Chipotle is pretty good. Very good grilled meats and fresh ingredients (at least the one I used to go to). Didn't know they are in Washington. Which towns? Bellingham I hope since it's close.

Dona Cata on Victoria Dr. seems what you're looking for. Considering what there is in Vancouver for authentic Mexican, I take it to be one of the best places for it..

Went to Don Cata a month ago and it was great. I've never had authentic mexican food before, but I ordered the chicken mole and it was a really good dish. I also ordered a horchata (a cinnamon flavoured milk drink) which was great since it soothes your mouth from spicy food.

Yea was there a couple of weeks ago, it's pretty good. $10 for 4 tacos isn't exactly filling, but it's pretty tasty.

I believe its called PePe's its on the west side of Denman nearest cross street is Robson. They even have a live mexican band for certain days of the week. They have a pretty complete menu not just taco's and burritos
