I wouldn't worry in the scope of a single day. It's going to make little difference both in terms of health and weight. If you go crazy, though, you'll set yourself back a bunch of calorie but that's it. You aren't going to be unhealthy from eating anything you want there.0

fish or grilled chicken tacos in a corn shell that has not been fried0

I get the veggie fajitas, no butter or oil just dry grilled with black beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. No cheese, sour cream and no tortillas.0

Meat, veggies, beans, guacamole. Stay away from the rice.0

I do fajitas without the sides or tortillas. Sometimes I am able to find Vegetarian Fajitas, but chicken, fish or shrimp will do!0

I love Pozole - delicious soup with Pork. 2 versions - white (blanco) or red (roja) and you typically top the soup with shredded cabbage and onions. Delicious and filling and probably under around 300 calories. Perhaps some cerviche, too.....enjoy!0

It depends on your taste, dietary needs, and what other food items you have recently eaten.0

it's fried!!0 -
The rice a lot of time has lard or oil in it, so the calories are higher. Plus a plain cup of rice is 200 calories, so with all of the extras they put in it you are looking at 300-500 calories.0

Rice tends to have a lot of carbs and can add up quickly if eating out.0

I would avoid chips they are always fried in fat and pick choices with little cheese, cheese is very high calorie. If you can avoid tortillas too. Water is good LOL. I usually get the fajitas with no tortillas and eat them without cheese / sour cream.0

Ceviche is the best choice. Very few calories and a lot of protein.0
-
Chicken fajita salad with salsa for dressing or chicken fajitas with corn tortillas and skip the cheese. Yum. Now I want Mexican food! :sad:0
