All Low-Carb Options at On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina

Eating out on a low-carb diet is always tricky. That’s why we’ve crunched the official data and put together this list of On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina low-carb options.

What counts at low-carb? There's no strict definition; some people use 50g net carbs as their daily maximum, others use 100g net carbs. Compare this to the average American/western diet of 175-250g net carbs per day. This allows for a lot more foods than keto.

As a default we're using 35g net carbohydrates as the maximum for a low-carb meal. You can adjust this according to your dietary needs
