Eating Out: Mexican Food

Most of us in SoCal and all over the South-West love Mexican food. However when eating out at restaurants, we have to know what we are getting (calorie wise).
Let me help out with some examples from a popular Mexican restaurant chain:

Tacos(each) :
Grilled Chicken                250 calories (Fat 12 grams)
Fish                                   320 calories (Fat 18 grams)
Grilled Shrimp                  220 calories (Fat 10 grams)
Grilled Steak                     220 calories (Fat 10 grams)
