    Guess I am not really suprised too...but dang off my 1,000 calories is a bit much....for the love of God, please skip the side order of chips and salsa at On The Border Mexican Grill and Cantina.

    I am not surprised to learn that some of the menu items may be off; thank you for posting the website. But that will not detract me for eating out once or twice a week and enjoy somebody else cooking for me, being served, and not having to do dishes or clean the kitchen.

    I am not a gourmet cook nor I care to be; my cooking is healthy bur rather simple so if I want to eat a special meal, I go to a restaurant.

    Most of the restaurants that my husband and I frequent don't have calories listed in their menus or websites anyway, so I need to make smart choices all the time.

    Ditto. However, it's so rare that I don't mind if my calculations are off for 1 meal (esp if it's a "special meal").
