mexican restaurants


Most of the calories and fat in Mexican food come from fried foods like tortilla chips, taco shells, and refried beans, and from dairy products like cheese and sour cream. Choose appetizers like gazpacho or tortilla soup, and main dishes like fajitas, which feature soft tortillas and grilled meats.
