If you’re vegetarian or vegan, you know the drill: you get to a Mexican restaurant and your options are a cheese quesadilla or a sad plate of rice and beans. Meanwhile everyone else at the table is having the time of their lives.
We think that’s a waste. Mexican food is full of vegetables, beans, corn, chiles and cheese the plant-forward part was always there. So at Tacos My Guey, going meatless doesn’t mean going without. Here’s what to order.
Beyond Steak: The Real Star
Our plant-based protein is Beyond Steak, and it’s not a consolation prize. It’s seasoned and cooked the same way our other proteins are, so it holds up in the same dishes you get the texture and the savoriness without the meat.
Order it as a Beyond Steak Quesadilla, or build your tacos, burrito or bowl with it. Same tortillas, same toppings, same salsas. Nobody at the table has to eat differently, they just eat what they want.
If You’re Vegetarian
You’ve got the widest range. Beyond the Beyond Steak, there’s:
- Cheese Quesadilla: no meat, no problem. A flour tortilla with melted cheese, griddled crisp, served with sour cream. Simple and genuinely good.
- Bean and cheese burritos or bowls: build it with rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico and crema.
- Esquites: corn off the cob with crema, Tajín and cotija. One of our best sellers, and it happens to be vegetarian.
- Guacamole, chips and salsa: the classics, and the easiest thing to share with a table.
If You’re Vegan
Skip the cheese and crema, and you’re in business. Go Beyond Steak tacos or bowls with rice, lettuce, pico de gallo, onion, cilantro, salsa and guacamole that’s a full, flavorful plate with nothing missing.
Two things worth asking about when you order: whether the beans work for you, and to hold the cheese and crema on anything that normally comes with them. Our team is used to the question, so just ask.
How to Order Without the Back-and-Forth
A few tips that make it easy:
Use the kiosks or order online. Customizing is simpler on screen than shouting modifications across a counter you can see exactly what’s coming off and going on.
Build a bowl. It’s the easiest thing to make fully plant-based: pick Beyond Steak, add what you want, skip what you don’t.
Ask about prep. If you’re strict, just ask. Nobody minds, and it’s better than guessing.
Eating Together, Finally
Here’s the part we actually care about. The reason we put a real plant-based protein on the menu isn’t to check a box it’s so a group with different diets can walk into the same place and everyone gets something they’re excited about. The vegan friend shouldn’t have to eat a side dish while everyone else has dinner.
