This doesn't really answer your question but I don't think mama
margie's is particularly "new".. not sure how long it's been there
but I have worked across the street for 2 years and it's been there
the whole time. They have another location, too, on Zarzamora I
think. With that said, I somtimes indulge and get their potato
breakfast tacos. I have no idea if their beans have lard in them or
not, though.

Anyone know anything about this new joint called "Mama Margie's" on I-
10 (at Wurzbach, I think)? Any cruelty-free bites?
