How to order

Order tips

· Order a bowl, not a burrito — the 12.5 inch flour tortilla alone is 760 mg.
· Pick brown rice (250 mg) over cilantro-lime rice (390 mg).
· Skip the queso: one 2 oz ladle adds 340-670 mg; guacamole is only 160 mg for the same portion.
· Choose corn tortillas (100 mg) or crispy taco shells (0 mg) over flour (170-490 mg each).
· Pico de Gallo (70 mg) and salsa roja (85 mg) are the low-sodium salsas; salsa verde is 240 mg.
