Brandi - yes, that's what they tell us. No lard in the refried beans, they just use vegetable oil.

BC - interesting comment about Sol's. I've actually had the experience there where the servers never seemed to know whether or not their items were vegan - which is why I stopped going. I used to love that place. Definitely a great value. I guess I need to check them out again.

Lauren - sometimes it pays to be lucky!

Ok, the M Crowd is too confusing. I love the chips and salsa at Mi Cocina. And I love the Latin Stir Fry - it's my go to choice (and it will feed you at least twice). I know Mi Cocina uses chicken stock in the rice (and I believe their sister restaurant Taco Diner does as well). That said, I've never heard a clear answer on the vegetarian beans. Some say yes, some say no. I almost always just get a side salad instead (ask for no cheese).

And not to rant about veggie Tex-Mex, but why oh why do they give you 2 lbs of veggies? I swear it's more food than if you order steak fajitas. Do they think that by skipping the meat I need twice as much veggie? I normally wouldn't complain, but Mi Cocina is oh so proud of their Latin Stir Fry and a few margaritas ($$).

For my money, go to Sol's Nieto on Mockingbird. They use soy in the beans and veggie stock in the rice. 2 veggie tacos, vegan rice and beans and it's only $8...
