      skip the rice, and beef. maybe opt for the fish. beans will fill you up, pile on the salsa, be leary of the guacomle and get something without cheese,but excluding cheese is kind of like torture with mexican food. See if you can go onlie before hand, and pull up the menu, to do a calorie count. probably not possible. Eat half. take half home. Beans will be key in feeling fuller. Mexican beans are awesome!

      so give yourself a tuesday bonus of 500cals. you should be able to enjoy a nice meal for 1074. take it away from tomorrow, or run an extra mile for a few days. win/win/win

      Fish tacos, ceviche, grilled shrimp, grilled chicken... go heavy on the pico de gallo and light on the cheese & sour cream, whatever you get.

      A nice spritz of fresh lime juice does wonders for adding flavor without sodium or calories.

      And I second the Corona Light instead of margaritas, unless they have "skinny margaritas" on the menu.

      Mexican food is my weakness... Filibertos is probably why I gained all my weight. ;)

      I almost always get a carne asada burro. And guac instead of sour cream. Black beans instead of pinto/refried.

      That's a tough one. I could just eat all the chips and salsa and not eat anything else. I always seem to go over when I eat Mexican. It's so hard for me, its my favorite.

      Some places have non-fried fish tacos - hold the cheese and eat them with beans and salsa

      And Corona light for the win!

      the traditional mexican restaurant is my one true splurge and i refuse to count when i go there (and these days i only go once a month or so). however, if you aren't looking for that dime-a-dozen mexican, you can probably find some truly wonderul mexican food that isn't too unhealthy. my home town has a gluten free mexican restaurant that is AH-MAZ-ING and extremely healthy.
