Fast-casual Mexican restaurants can be delicious, but they can also get really expensive. If you still don’t want to do the cooking, but don’t want to shell out a whole lot of cash, these tips are for you.
Burrito Bowls
A lot of places offer either taco or burrito bowls, which is essentially just the contents of a burrito or a taco, but in a regular container. This should always be your go-to when it comes to ordering because they give you so much more food than whatever they could stuff into a tortilla! You can even ask for a tortilla on the side or just use one from home.
Don’t Be Bashful
The workers at these fast-casual restaurants are trained to know how many scoops of an ingredient goes into your food, but don’t be afraid to ask for more! Besides for extras like guacamole and queso, they’re not going to charge you more if you ask for an extra scoop or two of beans.
Chips and Salsa
If you’re getting your order to go, never order chips and salsa. The best thing to do to save your money is to just ask for more salsa on the side, which is almost always free and buy a bag of tortilla chips at the grocery store.
