No. Only Americans really interpret "guacomole" in that fashion. But on this "greasy" continent, food is masked with lugubrious quantities of animal and vegetable fat, not to mention milk ingredients.
Essentially, guacomole is mashed avocado with either lemon or lime, and cilantro, salt.

I have to laugh, because I thought it was always made with mayonnaise. Since I've been asking at restaurants, I've found that most places I've tried make it without dairy and without sour cream.

I can't imagine why people would ruin a good avocado with sour cream or mayo, especially! ICK! It has plenty of fat already and the perfect texture!

That's what I usually do -- and I just eat the rice that comes with -- and the chicken and the fajitas -- with maybe a bit of the guacamole (sp)

Thanks so much for all your replies everyone! 
I'm definitely going to call the restaurant tomorrow and see re: dairy in various things, fat content if I can etc. I don't usually eat chicken but that's only a personal preference thing, not an IBS thing so I'll definitely make an exception there. The chicken fajitas seem like a good option, or maybe the salmon.
Ha! Kate ROTFL re: the potato in your purse... I know the feeling! lol
Sand - taking an SFS before is a good idea too. I'll definitely do that just in case!
Thanks for the tips too from you Ottawa girls, Tina & Michelle - that's where I'll be this weekend (Ottawa) so that really helps! (Maybe this is just an Ottawa restaurant? Who knows!)
I leave tomorrow and come back on Monday so I'm definitely going to be taking lots and lots of food for my hotel room  Well I'm surely feeling much better about all this than I was before... I'll let you know how it all turns out!

If you order guacomole, you really never know what you're going to get! There are so many variations! I always thought avocadoes tasted naturally "eggy" enough, hence the term "nature's mayonnaise!"
The avocadoe tree is incidentally also known as a "testicle tree" by South American natives. No wonder it is considered an aphrodisiac. This very rich fruit is also called a "butter pear."
