Refried beans may sound like a good choice, but they are often prepared with lard, cheese, and bacon, making the calorie and fat counts quite high.A great way to eat healthily at a Mexican restaurant is to choose grilled foods.
Instead of ordering a chimichanga or taquito, opt for steak, chicken or shrimp fajitas. Fajitas are much healthier than fried items but are just as filling; they taste even better when flavored with peppers and onions. Be careful with margaritas.

i love tacos with tons of salsa!!! why did you want to sub with rum???
I noticed that all these “How To Order….Without Blowing Your Diet” videos mainly have white people in them.
I LOVE mexican food and I think it’s very healthy. Sure, some things are high calorie, but high calorie does not mean UNHEALTHY. Unhealthy food is empty calories and mexican food is packed with nutrients. I’m vegetarian so I can’t have lean meat and avoid the cheese, but meat eaters could do that. Since I have to have cheese, sour cream etc, I wouldnt eat it every day. But to say its unhealthy is wrong!
@koreangirl891 No… You’re missing the point. They put different countries because if you’re American you know what to eat (healthy) and what to stay away from. They put these videos to help you know what to stay away from (fat) and what is ok to eat. It isn’t indirect racism and I thought MOST people knew what they were trying to come across on.
damn americans are good at diluting culture with their bullshit. this is something i know i’m gonna have to face later on in life when i visit some other country and there’s an angry mob pointing at me going, “it’s-a muriken! get him!” fuck even our asians are startin with that raw food bullshit lmao why did i start hating american diet the second i watched this video? AMERICAN’S NEED TO GET THEIR OWN STYLE OF COOKING BESIDES BARBEQUE! AND STOP PUTTING BACON IN EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN!
PEOPLE TALK SO MUCH SHIT WITHOUT REALLU KNOWING ABOUT OTHER CULTURES STFU!!!
Video: do you order the same thing every time
Me: no I know what I like and I get what I know I like
mexican food is one of the best in the world….oh my god the fucken tacos…uuhhhhh….fucken goood…tortas…..fucckkkk…..im hungry now…..
hmm i never have seen a mexican restaurant; i thought there was just taco bell lol
I am visiting mexico for a week, I am on a 1500 calories diet and i would like to maintain it whilst i am there. Could you please recommend some options. Thanks
@morenoven I have never seen a fat cow. They are just large animals. Know the difference between fat and large… fat is adipose tissue, being large doesnt mean fat
Not all latin food is similar to mexican food. Is correct to call “Mexican food”, is not ofensive. You can order “salsa banderita”, made with diced fresh tomatoes, onions and peppers,
refried beans are only fried once? holy shit, no way, mind blown.
If your Mexican you can just cook this bomb ass food at home, chilaquiles, enchiladas, mole, posole, tacos de Asada….��������
Yeah my family can make these and they are delicious. My mom makes amazing chilaquiles. One time we were only making enough for a few of us, my brother told my aunt then word spread to all my immediate family. Everyone came and my mom had to make extra xD. Like we have to keep quiet sometimes or the whole family wants to come over to eat. I mean none of us mind that, but my goodness the dishes hahaha.
esa no es una verdadera comida mexicana….:( quisiera que cocinaran tinga de pollo con tostadas de crema y queso, enchiladas, el pozole,tacos de chicharrón con guacamole, quesadillas, pambasos, tacos de suadero etcétera pero realmente no todo lo comemos con nachos o totopos que de hecho es lo mismo tambien el champurrado sabe delicioso…. esa es una terrible comida, solo lo unico bueno son salsas.
Wow.. this comment was a little off.. but it is true tex mex is awful when it comes to diets.
If it’s served on a flat fried tortilla, it’s probably a tostada, not a chalupa. It’s hard to find a good tamale that tastes worth a darn, they’re usually too bland. But I do love a good chili relleno!
Chilaquiles is a new one to me, though. I’ll have to see if anyone local has those.
Great video! Make some more of these with different restaraunts please!:)I simply love the Eat This, Not That! Series. I highly suggest those to anybody to pick up a copy.By the way Sarah, I thought you were doing that one special diet where they bring you food? Is the week over and getting back to normal eating? Just wondering:D
thats not a chalupo, thats a tostada. chalupa are staked little tortillas seasoned with salsa shredded meat and chopped onion. i{m a 5th generation of poblano lander.
yeah they have ceviche!! it’s with shrimps and guacamole!! i don’t like it but they say that it’s delicious!!!
Nice video (nobody wants to become obese) but first this is not real mexican food, every dish had lots of (american) cheese and only the quesadilla should have it (and in Mexico we have quesadillas without cheese, like huitlacoche or Zucchini flower), then a lot of mexican food is veggie, so you can eat a mushroom soup, chiles rellenos (with fresh cheese), rice and beans and your eat it with soft tortillas (not fried nachos) and there you have a low calorie meal…
Wow people are so mean and trite in their comments. Thanks for helping us navigate an American-Mexican restaurant!
Don’t get tamales they’re not good as people hype them up to be
@Ichigosistershadow1 hahah, you are so observant!!
Nice one, I totally agree ^^
I was waiting for something different from every Mexican restaurant I visit. Boo!
True mexicans never get fat, even the wealthy ones. The only reason people get fat is because they think they are eating mexican food, while in fact they are eating TEX MEX. TEX MEX is awful, and it is loaded with alot of calories. Typical true mexican food is very healthy, it involves alot of fish, fruits, and corn.
no they already did that one, it was the first how to order food one

Please know that these women do not know real authentic Mexican food. They know food tricks and nutritional information. This is American food people with Mexican inspiration. #cringy
Tina ‘s eyes and smile beautiful, I’m distracted. Now I’ll watch the video.
What’s up Hot Girls. You want to try my big meaty Avocados.??
Your average fat fuck from the us will eat the entire thing on that table
No love for cochinita pibil, pozole, menudo, birria, huitlacoche, tortas ahogadas, etc?
I’m mexican, and I think that this restaurant have very, very mexican food, greetings I love it¡

How to Order in a Mexican Restaurant Without Blowing… HAHA!
Just eat at a NOrth American Mexican restaurant. In search of ‘authentic’ Mexican food, when we went to Cancun, we always took a cab into the city. Food was terrible. Maybe because the quality food was not affordable by the native population? Either way, the best food was on the island the tourist area.
If you are in an authentic Mexican restaurant, and they have tortilla soup, you are not in an authentic Mexican restaurant.
What the fuck are any of those soups listed? A real Mexican restaurant would have Posole, Albondigas, Sopa de Fideos or Menudo.
I had authentic Mexican once. I hadn’t even walked out of the place before my stomach started churning.
You are right, however, you can make it less harmful for your health. I am vegetarian, and I know a lot of vegetarians who eat saladas with huge amounts of dressing and cheese.
I’m ok with vegetarians/vegans or even meat eaters who are concerned with animals cruelty and choose cruelty-free products, but those who are concerned with their health and create this “healthier eating” scams just need to do some exercice, then they can indulge themselves as they please.
Well said, just like in Mexico we have our mexicanized hamburguers (in which we add grilled pineapple and onions, avocado, jalapeños, pico de gallo and ham)
