Located on Greenwood & 85th street, comes a Mexican restaurant that promises to be healthy. But what do they define as healthy?
“We are completely transfat free, our beans are made without lard or oil, our rice without chicken stock, all of our meats are grilled, and our salsas are all made from fresh tomatoes and chiles. We have many vegetarian and vegan options, even our chips are completely animal free.”
Well they’ve got some stuff right, being trans fat free and using fresh ingredients….but the other things? Not that I eat beans or rice anyways but I would be hardly concerned at all if there was animal fat in the base. Promoting vegan and vegetarian? Oh boy…don’t get me started.
However, if you look on the menu there is another option that I am totally excited for.
“HI-LO: HI PROTEIN-LOW CARBS |
| Any of the plate options, skip the black beans, Mexican rice, and tortillas, and have it with lettuce, sliced onions, sliced tomatoes, and sliced avocado”
Yes please! I had mine with both beef and chicken
Taste: 10 A little pricey for the meal, but not by any means a ripoff. Would definitely go again. Ingredients not confirmed to be 100% gluten free |
