Mexican Food

Does anyone know about the shredded chicken at Mexican restaurants if it has sugar added I plan on getting the chicken taco salad .

Restaurants vary WILDLY in how they prep food. I’d ask, or, better, call in advance. I’d also ask for them not to use that vegetable-oil-fried corn or wheat shell they commonly add. If they can’t answer, and you’re with friends (as I have been) I’d bring a bag of pork rinds (fresh chicharrónes, FTW, by the way) and ask for guacamole, though they they may add sugar to that. Say you’re not hungry, and enjoy your friends’ company.

If there is a menu and nutritional content online, you could check there. Otherwise, I always ask the waiter to check with the kitchen to be sure.
