Iggi's Texatarian

This place is amazing.  We were talking about the type of restaurant we would want to make because it seems like all the vegan places offer gluten free, weird healthy ingredients, and bland food.  We were thinking that just because someone is vegan doesn't mean they want their food sweetened with date paste or made with rice flour lol.  Nothing against health food, we eat it all the time, but once in a while we want a heaping plate of vegan fettuccine alfredo you know?  Anyways, Iggi's is the answer.  They offer vegan macaroni and cheese!  Vegan Queso!  Vegan nachos!  Vegan chili cheese dogs!  Heaven.  Most importantly it is all delicious.  The first time we went Miguel ordered the chili cheese dog with a side of macaroni and Shannon ordered the frito pie.  Both were amazing but we decided to switch because Miguel loves fritos and Shannon loves macaroni!  While we were waiting we ordered an appetizer of vegan queso, yum.  The next time we went we brought a non-vegan friend who ordered the macaroni and loved it.  Miguel ordered the cowboy nachos and Shannon ordered the chilimac.  Once again delicious.  The chili used in the chili mac and on the nachos is almost sweet though, we both prefer spicy so maybe the cowboy nachos (with black beans instead of chili) will be a better option for next time.  They also serve a slew of good sounding sandwiches, including a BBQ seitan, which they also have in platter form.  Both times we went we also got a cupcake from Peaches Magee at the adjacent trailer, they offer vegan cupcakes but it seems that no matter the flavor.. you get lemon flavored.  First we ordered raspberry with cream cheese frosting and it tasted like lemons.  The next time we ordered peanut butter, chocolate, banana, again lemons.  Also of mention, they cost $2 and are about as small as if you were to make them at home (not hey cupcake size).  The last time we went, we ate in Cheer Up Charlie's and it has a great atmosphere.  Also, they have 2 Kombucha flavors on tap so it is non-alcholic friendly!  They have some vegan chocolates for $3 on the counter and supposedly they serve vegan sandwiches but we have not seen sandwiches or a menu when we've gone there.
