What is the best choice to get when you go out to eat at a mexican restaurant?

    You could look at their vegetarian menu. I've ordered the vegetarian fajitas, and then only ate one or two of the tortillas that came with it.

    MY best choice at a Mexican restaurant is to ask them NOT to bring me the bowl of chips with salsa. I generally get a chicken or beef taco salad, and I eat the bowl, too, but if I don't get into the chips I do just fine with it. Well, I might have to eat light the rest of the day, too, or get a workout in, but for me taco salad, hold the chips is usually a win.

    My friend owns a Mexican restuarant, and we go to watch sporting events there. I will get the beef fajitas because the chicken ones aren't as tastey there, but I only eat one tortilla (corn) and I try to skip the sour cream, and guac. At most I limit myself to 2, and I take the rest of the meat home for some other time.

    ^ they have it right. when i go out i want to enjoy my food but taking at least half home (sometime i'll even pre pack it to force the self control) and avoiding the chips work pretty well. i accept when i eat out my sodium will be horrible but the biggest challenge is the bowl of chips because i love them so much

    If it is something that comes with refried beans I ask for black beans instead. I have also learned that some things that seem healthy are not at all. So if it is a chain I always jump online and look up the nutritional value first.

    I absolutely ADORE chips and salsa. Also chips and queso. Also chips and guacamole. :frown: So the best policy for me, sadly, is not to even get started. It's so blamed hard to get stopped :sad:
