Guero's - Vegan menu

Today was another work-related birthday celebration.. location: Guero's!  We have been wanting to go since we heard about their vegan menu and their decision to carry food for lover's vegan queso!  The excitement was short lived as we were told they were out of queso :((  So we ordered guacamole too, but alas, it was old and blah tasting.  Off to a bad start, but there was still the vast menu of vegan food yet to explore.  It seems vegan chorizo is their vegan meat option and everything else was some sort of rearrangement of veggies and/or beans.. but hey, that's mexican food.  We opted for the entree with the largest array of ingredients, the Vegan Tacos, soy pastor with charra beans.  Their next boo boo, which may  not go over as well with seasoned vegans, they brought out rice instead of potatoes.  This is after chasing the server around making sure she got the order right since she didn't ask about any of the accompaniments.  Apparently none of us are well versed at eating at a taco bar because the biggest complaint from the taco orderers was that all you get is meat and a tortilla.  All of that soyrizo with just a couple dried up pineapples and a shell was a bit overwhelming.  The dried up, over cooked potato chunks were not helping, so with the addition of lime, beans, salsa, the mini salad the lime sits on and some pickled onions.. it finally tasted pretty good.  Someone told us this is because you are supposed to go to the bar and fill your taco with ingredients?  This is the third time we have gone to Guero's and it's always been OK, except for the delicious don margarita (which is sometimes off) and the amazing queso (vegan and non).  We may be back but serious reconsiderations are going on regarding the out of town guests pouring in next month.. what if they are out of queso again?!
