nutmegh Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I'm 10 days in on my whole 30 and went out to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants with my parents who are visiting from out of town. The first 5 minutes sitting down were the most difficult minutes I've experienced so far and I was so close to throwing in the towel, but to my surprise the feeling passed and I ordered paleo and enjoyed every bite. Left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied and not so full that my pants were going to split! Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly1234 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Can I ask what you ordered? I'm going to a Mexican restaurant with the girls this week. I know to avoid the chips and tortillas. I was thinking fajitas with salsa and guacamole on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 With fajitas, you need to watch for any coatings on the meat, which might contain gluten, and the cooking oil they use (no soybean or rice bran oil). Salsa might contain sugar, so ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethany Lannon Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We were at a Mexican restaurant a couple days ago for lunch... They had a seafood dish that I'm betting most places have something akin to. It was tilapia and shrimp with a side of steamed veg. Order it all dry/no oil/no seasoning, add a side (or two!) of avocado, and use pico de gallo as a dip/topping for your fish. It seems that the seafood menus at Mexican restaurants offers the safest/easiest to modify dishes. (You can also make sure to ask for non-marinated protein ... I am post-W30, so I wasn't as concerned with it being marinated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
