You can find a lot online now and it is frustrating when you can't. Haven't been to Baja Fresh in awhile though. Thanks for the heads up. Salads are always tricky!

I have a Baja Fresh across from work and I find that it's normally filling, somewhat nutritious, and "clean" in the sense that I can tell what most of the ingredients are. However, last time I made the mistake of making my grilled veggie burrito into an Enchilado-style meal. Boy was that a huge mistake. Enchilado style is simply taking a burrito and drenching it in a bit of salsa and a TON of jack and cheddar cheese. It's frightening to look at the ADDITIONAL nutritionals: 630 calories, 40 g fat, 360 calories from fat, 19 g sat fat, 75 mg of cholesterol and 1450 mg of sodium!!! Dangerous...it's almost like eating the appetizers at Chili's, TGIFriday's...etc Another thing to never have: Enchilado style.
