Help! Have to go to Mexican Restaurant - what to get???

[mcfit]

My coworkers are going out to lunch for someone's going away party and they decided to go to a Mexican Restaurant. I took a peak at the online menu but there is NOTHING I can find that is not laden with fat and extra calories. Everything is fried or comes with gobs of cheese or sour cream. What do you all suggest?

 

[Jodi]

Chicken Taco Salad but don't eat the shell and ask for an oil based dressing or better yet, Olive Oil & Vinegar!

or

Steak

 

[Leslie]

Try getting Chicken Fajitas. Since they are usually "make your own" it's easy to only eat the chicken breast and grilled onions/peppers. Hold all the extras/sides

 

[Jodi]

Good one but I'd get the steak fajitas instead I love steak

 

[Rusty]

Get one of those big nasty beef and bean buritos with lots of chili sauce.........he he he

 

[forciano]

Mexican cuisin is what makes me trying to get on a good diet, so hard

Thanks everyone! I think I am going with the chicken taco salad minus the sour cream and of course no shell!

I don't know about beans Rusty I may end up with Forciano's problem & I do have to go back to work after lunch

Please let us know what you ordered and if it was any good.

Sorry, but I can not go out for Mexican without wolfing down a huge bowl of chips and salsa.

Oh yeah, I've been to Margarita's!! After you chow down a bowl of chips, they REFILL IT!

A lot of people will say On The Border makes lousy Tex-Mex, but their chips and salsa are real good.

I only drink Carona and such when I have no other options.
