    Soup is nice you just have to watch the sodium. Salads work too even with the taco shell. Ala carte tacos are nice too. Watch snacking on those "free" things, the chips and salsa, beans, whatever they give you before the meal. I find eating out is more about portion control than anything. Meals at those restaurants can be huge so that is why I don't order them.

    ^ This. and I love Mexican food also, for the record. It's all about moderation and taking stuff home instead of eating it all at once.

    I have discovered that many restaraunts have "guiltless" menu items that are not on the regular menu. I have, also, found that if you ask them if you could have something that are quite accomadating to help please you. (Not fast food places but real restaraunts.)

    Ask them to make you a salad of veggies with chicken fajita chicken on it, if they don't have some kind of chicken salad on the menu. I eat a salad and grilled chicken and then splurge on some chips and salsa.
