I very seldom eat at Tex-Mex restaurants, but "refries" are "that
pile of brown paste that I avoid" and "Mexican rice" is "that
pile of carbs that I avoid". I usually order tacos or enchiladas
a la carte just to avoid all that food waste. Plus, it results in
a normal size serving of food. If I tried to eat all of the rice
and refries, I'd explode. Tacos a la carte are not my idea of a
proper meal (not nearly enough vegetables), but once in a while
won't hurt me.
