What restaurant?
cancun? ive already tried to look it up
the last time I went to Mexican, I had the fajitas....it was easier for me to count things, and I came in about 600 calories. Good luck tonight!
I have never heard of that. But nowadays most restaurants offer lite items. For example, Don Pablos has a dish called "skinny chicken enchilads". Order No cheese, with sauce etc...you wont notice it gone and ask for extra veggies! And your sodium will be through the roof, so try to drink a TON of water! You can do this!!!!

Whatever entree you choose, make sure you stay away from the tortilla chips on the table. I always find myslelf eating them b/c they are just sitting there. They add TONS of calories.
That's a hard question! Here's a website that has lots of nutritional info for restaurants.....check out some of the other mexican restaurants and decide.

thanks so much guys! i ordered 2 chicken soft tacos with lettuce and tomato, no cheese! which was about 420 calories im guessing.. staying away from those chips was tough especially since its the type of restaurant where they always go around refilling everyones chips and all of my friends kept on eating them!!! they must have gone through 3 baskets between 2 people!! it was crazy... i find that i can avoid eating the chips easily because im very self-disciplined but if i even try ONE chip ill want to eat the whole thing... SO i resolved never to eat chips and never to eat cereal at night (same problem.. woops!) the one bad thing is i ordered an amstel light as well but i think i can afford it in my allowence... all in all a very successful night!!
