Gaming the menu at Baja Fresh
Hungry but don't want to spend a lot of money? (Or .. why is a burrito $6?)
Game the menu and save.
You can eat a lot at Baja Fresh for about $3. Order the Rice and Beans Plate (black or pinto beans -- your choice, 425 calories and 5 grams fat) and get a side of tortillas (flour or corn, nutritional information unknown). Then make your own vegetarian tacos with the pico de gallo and other items from the salsa bar.
Most Baja locations give you a full plate, half of it beans, half rice, and that's plenty for a meal. And you avoid all the fat from the grilled vegetables (or meat, for that matter). The tortillas taste handmade and are always too hot to touch -- they must have some kind of tortilla steamer. Bring your reusable Baja Fresh cup and guzzle soda endlessly for an additional 99 cents.
How do you game the menu at your favorite restaurant? Let me know.
