What would you eat from this carb-heavy Mexican restaurant?


(Eric - The patient needs to be patient!) #21

Eating mexican tonight with @Hopeoftheflame. Will have carne asada (rib eye) or chorizo pollo (sausage and chicken with cheese). Will do 2 tablespoons or so of refried beans and some of the made at the table guacamole. No chips. a little salsa on the meat.

For dessert my daughter made these: Valentine’s Day Keto Chocolate Raspberry mousse

Ah. Good to know. I don’t have that much experience with Mexican cookery, and the mole recipe I have calls for no sugar.

I order some form of carne asada, and tell them no rice or tortillas. I end up with more refried beans. As I am in maintenance rather than losing weight, I’ll occasionally eat the beans and the salsa.

At my favorite Mexican place, the person that brings the initial chips and salsa does not speak English. It is a bit challenging to convey that she let me have the salsa, but take the chips away. In the past I’ve packed up the chips and fed them to the birds.
