Finding calories with no information

My family and I are going to a restaurant tonight that does not have their nutritional information listed anywhere! I am trying to pre-log using similar restaurant types, but I have no idea how close I am. Even then, there are only certain things (like fajitas) that I can find to be similar so I don't want to pick anything else on the menu and have no idea.
How do you calculate places like this or do you just not go there? I am not completely terrified of going over my calories, but I do want to try to be accurate.

    Pick something that seems similar and guestimate... being over one day will not hurt you, and being afraid to have fun with your family is no way to live.

    Eat whatever you want, going out to eat shouldn't be so taxing. Take a before bed walk. One day is not going to do anything, you are doing yourself a favor by not stressing over one evening meal. If you HAVE to see it in your diary then just add1k calories. Enjoy it fully!
