Ordering at a Mexican Restaurant on a Carnivore/Keto Diet

- This was my first time at On the Border and what an awesome experience as a Carnivore!!
Anytime I'm at a Mexican restaurant I always start by asking if I can add meat to the fajitas...but On The Boarder was super accommodating and had "sides of meat" already as an option.
Next time I might skip the shrimp which was only three pieces of shrimp and get an additional portion of steak instead (for almost the same cost). But overall I am super happy with this experience and will definitely be using it again as I travel.
Are there odd oils or seasonings in this you should be concerned about? Maybe 🤷🏼♀️ It definitely depends on your health goals if this is a good option for you. Not something I would recommend for every day, however, it's a really fun treat when you want to go out to eat but stay on track. I travel so much that when I'm in another state this is an awesome option.

Only eating meat and dairy genuinely baffles me I can’t imagine how constipated I would get
Same. This lady’s diet is so restrictive and looks 🤢🤢
I eat this way 3 years now. Never constipated..never sick..if i cheat...the inflammation and pain comes....keeps me carnivore/keto...liter ally fixed diabetes type2 and other ills...ohhh And lost 40 lbs to boot. No more brain fog high energy. It's a game changer. Procarnivore/keto lifestyle.
I’m sure over time your body would become semi-used to it. But yeah I can’t imagine not having fruits veggies or grains. And imagine how vegan people think of her 😂😂
You can't imagine it because it doesn't happen and you don't actually understand how the human body works. I've heard so many people with auto immune diseases who have cured it with this diet. People who have IBS and have struggled with it for years swear by this diet, it's actually great for digestion. Instead of parroting age old ideas that have been debunked by real medical research, just try it. It's not really that hard, only then will you understand how it works.
Fiber is actually unnecessary. If you eat enough fat, it lubricates your bowels and you don't get constipated.
People are so pressed that she ordered something unique. 1. She asked nicely first. 2. The waiter suggested her ordering in oz, because he could ring it up that way.
That is not being inconsiderate. She didn’t demand anything. She was kind and worked with the restaurant’s policy. I’d be happy to serve Laura anytime.
Sincerely,
Someone who works at a restaurant
PLUS SHE GAVE A GREAT TIP. SMH
Exactly
Like he was able to put it in easily
Exactly. The whole point of a server is to serve you what you ask for. Be polite, and understand that the waiter needs to write your particular order in detail, so that it doesn't get messed up. Also, definitely tip good lol.
Exactly! I have friends who were or are now servers. This lady made it easier as substitutes could be just side orders. Those that want many things on one dish tweaked to their tastes are a little more of a challenge for servers to figure out how to present it and whether it can be done. I'm guilty of that sometime and I give bigger tips than 20% when a server at least tries to accommodate. Ex: can I have the 3 egg omelette but only 1 yolk? Omg, does that confuse everyone😅.
This whole comment said nothing
Coming from someone who works in customer service, your manners are absolutely amazing and more people should be like you! Although the order was customized your were clear and kind love to see it!
I ordered a ribeye and shrimp at our local Mexican restaurant other day. It was delightful! 16lbs down today since 1/6/23!
16 pounds in 12 days is not a diet.
@@ToMaToEsGrOw I believe a lot was water weight. I was bloated bad. It has slowed down now. 19 lbs down now. I have incorporated exercises also. A lot of the pains I was having are gone.
I'm sorry you lost me at "skip the chips and salsa" I don't need that negativity around me.🤔😝🙂
It's a diet lol.
@@everclear6201No shit sherlock..... it's keto.....it's a horrible diet long term.
People can eat them just not a lot. 5 chips and salsa won’t do shit to the diet🤣 I don’t get why she skipped them.
@@sekichdawn3913 tell that to people who have been doing it for years lmao
@@The_LoRaX_loves_TREES I don't know why she skipped them either, salsa has very little to no carbs and having 10 chips isn't going to wreck her keto lifestyle. Keto isn't meant to be long-term anyway. You only live once eat what you like just do it in moderation. I'll never deprive my body of the nutrients and occasial sweet treats.
I have already used your ideas eating out. People look at me crazy, but I am having a amazing Carnivore time!!
And enjoying better health 💙😀
Being keto has given me a new appreciation for restaurants with A la Carte menus. Refusing the side dishes feels like an endurance test.
Yea, they look at you crazy
Yes it seems like they force so much more food on you 😂
For most ppl just eating a balanced healthy diet is the way to go. Carbs for fuel, plenty of protein, limit saturated fat intake, and ur good. No need for extremes unless u have sum extreme condition.
FAT IS GOOD! saturated fat is also good.
Quality healthy fats are crucial for your body.
Avoid heated nuts and seeds and refined oils
Don’t forget veggies
Carbs are not necessary.
@@TheCarnivoreSoprano your brain runs on carbs for energy very important for your diet!
Over half the adults have prediabetes or full diabetes. Heart disease comes along with that, all due to carbs, NOT meat or saturated fat. Our food pyramid was built on a lie. The guy that started it was Ancel Keyes. He fed meat and cholesterol to rabbits, and they got cholesterol in their arteries. But rabbits eat plants. Still, he thought it was a good idea for humans to go low fat, so that's how it started.
You are very committed. I could not go into a Mexican restaurant without divulging in chips and salsa. It's my favorite
you can!
Did it the other night, got a ribeye with some shrimp and bacon on top, just skipped the sides that came with it (fries, beans, rice).
Addiction to foods is why we are suffering from obesity
I love that you included the price!
EXPENSIVE!
Thank you Laura! I’ve taught me so very important tricks on my carnivore journey! I love that you showed the total price in the end too👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Holy crap though…$23.58!😮
My hack is asking if they serve breakfast all day and then getting a Mexican style omelette so good
Those saying it’s sad she isn’t eating the plants, need to do research about oxalates and other toxins plants produce as a defense from being eaten. It’s only sad for you if you love eating plants, but it’s not sad for us carnivores!
LoL
all of a sudden everyone is a nutritionist in the comments 🤣
Exactly, critical dietician tooo
To me it’s not even about the nutrition… it’s specifically about making the chefs make a completely different meal for you that’s not on the menu… if she wanted that that bad she’d specifically tip all the chefs or cook from home
@@jeffreyh271 are you slow? She ordered the menu just no filler. Her meal is easier to make them your meal.
@@jeffreyh271she ordered sides of meat it would be no different than ordering a side of chips
Laura you are my hero! You have inspired me to just politely just ask for what I want. No longer will I be afraid of looking like I'm weird, picky or whatever I've been afraid of for no good reason.
I'm so glad you post these about restaurants! Thank you 🤩
Good customer service.
That's exactly how I ordered when we went out to a Mexican restaurant. It was super satisfying! I started eating various meats like this at home after I realized it was a thing. A variety if texures is nice.
These restaurant guides are just what I need. Thank you!
I like to tell the wait staff, "Nope, nothing else, just the pile of meat and cheese!" 😂
Thank you, your video shorts are fun and helpful.
This way of eating makes you feel so much better than you did before that you don’t even miss the chips and salsa at all…SERIOUSLY!!!
This is true.
Somehow mystical magical chips makes ppl feel better. Mental
Not true. I did keto for almost a year. I missed it so badly
I miss them. A LOT
Just want to say I LOVE how nice and kind you are to servers and fast food restaurant workers. I’m down 4.2 lbs in one week!! 😃😃
i’ve been doing this diet for about 2 weeks. i’m loosing incredible amounts of body fat while still gaining incredible amounts of muscle mass. this diet is incredible 😅
if you are young and just want to try something , this is it
More like losing lots of water in that 2 weeks. As far as gaining an incredible amount of muscle mass, you’re definitely not in 2 weeks.
God, people say stupid shit.
thank you for sharing. I don't eat a meat only diet but this is so interesting and heartwarming to see how accommodating the restaurant was!
❤Love these tutorials on how to order when we go out!!❤
Laura thku. You are so smart and committed. I thku for sharing how you order at different restaurants. You are a great help to stay with the diet. Blessings
$24.00 for that? Outrageous!
Plus a "good tip" So the bottom line was more like $34 for a pile of meat for one. Damn! My wife and I can eat out for $34. She clearly is not on any kind of budget--freely spending.
She travels for work. I’m sure there’s a per diem. So I don’t think she cares. lol
@@dunhill1 That meal probably kept her full for 24hrs; since starting carnivore, I only need to eat once a day, and I often forget to! I just go to bed hungry and have a big breakfast, instead of wolfing something heavy right before I lie down xD
Thank you so much for showing us this type of stuff, I wouldn't have ever thought about it. Appreciate your guidance!!
Please put the pipe down #crackkills
Good plan, Laura. I’ve found that most restaurants of any type cuisine are now much more willing to accommodate carnivore, keto or whatever food plan we are following. Like Laura, you just need to ask the server. They are usually very happy to help.
As a server, I can tell you we are usually not very happy with people like her. Kitchen staff will always bitch, if you don’t like what’s on the menu, go somewhere else.
Food service is about making the customer happy and coming back. Its literally not harder as a server to write this ticket. If you dont like that go work at Wal-Mart.
@@Itwasaboutpotatoes Low carb is here to stay that is why so many restaurants are adapting.
Everytime I watch her vidoes I just see her eatting the same things over and over again. Meat, salt and water. Even if the meat has sauce still meat. I would get bored so fast with that diet and I don't think it wouldn't make me feel good. So I commend her for for being so decade to her diet.
You’d be surprised how fast you start to feel good on that diet! It’ll make all your cravings go away. It’s hard though if you have emotional attachment to food. My mom refuses to try that type of diet and even struggles with keto for that reason. Everyone is different.
Yea, you have to rework your relationship with food on this diet. That’s why i like it though. Ive always struggled with things like emotional eating, binge eating, and just general over eating, but with this diet im actually seeing lots of progress. I see food as less of a source of entertainment and more of just a fuel source. I notice that i think about food a lot less now and i am able to just focus on and enjoy the rest of life much more without constantly being hungry or thinking about when im gonna have my next tasty treat and then feeling guilty after. The problem i had with every other diet I’ve done is that I never fully felt satiated. Now i just eat when I’m hungry and eat till im full and my body takes care of the rest. No more worrying about calorie counting or checking the scale everyday. This got long mb lol
Food is fuel. And meat is fantastic fuel!
The "dedication" for me only had to last a few days, then my sugar and carb cravings were GONE. I have a drawer full of chocolates I haven't touched since I started.
And yes, I feel much better physically than I did before, health issues are why I began in the first place.
I appreciate your manners towards the staff everywhere you go, sadly that is no longer the norm
If that’s not the norm in your world, get better friends, just sayin.
I love how people think this is healthy🤦🏼♀️
Why do you even care? 🤦🏻♀️
@@vlk40 Maybe because diet culture encourages eating disorders?
Another ignorant comment from another ignorant, ill-informed viewer. 🥱.
More of these videos, Laura!!🥰
I love how polite you are to the waiter ❤
This sounds gross 😭
Idk it sounds good to me
How? It sounds amazing. A plate of meat? I do that at home already
They're actually pretty good. Plus it's nice to have options on a night out. Even if it's not a fancy night out.. If you want better carnivore options go to Fogo De Chao or any Brazilian Steak house.
@@JB-fl4wk I love Fogo!!!
She has a lot of food intolerances and food allergies which is a special case
Our local Mexican restaurant has ribeye so I get that and sub 2 eggs for the beans and rice 😁👍
Ooo that sounds good! Thanks for sharing Bonnie!
Ask them to fry the eggs in lard instead of seed oils
YUM!! This looks delicious. I love that they were willing to charge you the "sides" price, too. Way to go, Laura!
Everytime I order off menu, they try to rip me off and charge me more. The "substitution charge." So I basically pay more for less food. Doesn't make any sense.
Huge help, Laura! God bless you! ❤
Nobody talking about how there’s only 3 shrimp on her plate 😢
Yo facts for damn near $5 highway robbery
Seriously!!! I was just commenting on the $1 charge for the tiny sides😢😢
And the shimp is farm raised, so it doesnt. Even have all its vitamins 😅
Yeah I'm gonna need like 12 minimum
You don't think she snagged a few before taking the picture? I can't leave shrimp alone for more than about two seconds
Her transformation is amazing.
These Videos are great. When I'm on the road I always struggle to find good choices. I appreciate these very much.
Thank you so much!!!! My world is expanding just from watching this.
You have exceptional communication skills 👏
Danya
We always just order fajita meat at our fave places. Soooo delish!! Ordering carnivore out is so simple.
You are striking. Especially after seeing the before picture, but disarmingly striking. Congrats on your better health.
This is so great. I didnt know we could do that. I think I'll try them out next. Thanks so much!
You’ll also feel amazing after you stomach gets accumulated to the diet same with a vegan diet
I would love to order like this, but 24.00? I guess my husband has to stay home. Most if middle town America cannot afford to pay those prices.
I am in love with this channel
It's great to know that when she asked if they can do extra sides, the waiter said they could. Good Mexicans always find a way to do something or make something work, we call em "Mexicanadas". I learned about em when I came back to live in Guadalajara.
Omg I’m loving all your shorts. So helpful! Thanks!!!
Yum! Skip the carbs and keep your figure
I'm getting more brave by the day. Yay to jack in the box, they sold me scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. With LG iced tea it was $7 and change!
Yeah, I'm finding that, after so much time barely getting by during the virus, many restaurants are willing to give you whatever you want as long as you ask nicely. I have a neighborhood restaurant that does a special on prime rib on Fridays. I order two plates minus the spuds and veg. They know me on sight now and don't even bother giving me a menu. Places like Chipotle and Subway are willing to give you just the "good stuff". Subway calls it "Sub in a Tub".
Explain barley getting bye
@@mattmattix2598 I meant that the restaurants had a dip in business during the pandemic. Many even had to close. Now the ones who are still in business are grateful to have customers again and are inclined to want to make them happy.
That looks incredible. I have never tried to do that but next time I will.
This is a sad life to live lol just dairy products and meat… ew 😂
Less sad than fat and sick and in pain.
@@sugoiharris1348 u will also not be fat, sick, or in pain by just eating a normal diet with a variety of whole foods
@@lildurk8460 that’s true for most people, but not for everyone. Why do you care so much what other people eat anyway?
@@sugoiharris1348 I really don’t care, it’s just unnecessary and odd
Worry about yourself
I just started the Carnivore diet. I didn’t do it to lose weight. Its for inflammation reasons. I need to see if this will help me feel better but I dropped 6lbs within the first few days. Pretty cool!
What about the inflammation?
Meat is the root cause of inflammation. There are a ridiculous amount of natural plant sources that will fix your issues without the expense of killing living creatures.
@@psychopeticahermetico9478 I no longer suffer from it.
@@RickTarheel I no longer have inflammation. Its not the root cause.
I used to eat primarily vegetables and had lots of joint pain & inflammation. Im slowly adding them back in 1 at a time to see how my body reacts. I respect your desire to not eat meat but I chose to do differently.
My niece's birthday is going to be at a Mexican restaurant. este video fue de gran ayuda!
A trip to The Mexican Restaurant without Corn Tortilla Chips & Queso Dip is a WASTED TRIP!! Idc if I’m Carnivore or Animal Based, I’ll choose to be Happy, eat My Chips, and start all over the next day!! I’ll never skip the Chips!
Then your not serious
When you smile because you finally get the attention you’ve been lookin for your whole life
I’m going to Florida in like 2 1/2 weeks and I’m nervous because I don’t want to fail. I’m going with my bfs family and staying there for a whole week. I need to definitely be careful and not give in to anything and not let them try to make me eat things I don’t want to.
We're going next week and plan to stay on keto. I'm mostly ketovore though. We plan to film how to stay on track in Disney, if you are interested. Good luck! You've got this!
You can live life and break your cycle without feeling like a failure. If you don’t reward yourself occasionally, the point of working your ass off loses reason. You’re in FL. Have fun. Eat. Drink. Enjoy your time. Quit stressing about food. You’re supposed to enjoy yourself.
Laura's vids are super helpful to me!
Thanks for this post. You show us what to eat everywhere!
Freelee fainted🤣
From lack of meat lol
You are such a fabulous eater !!! A perfect date.
I love how kind and considerate you are when you order ❤️
The seasonings and marinade have carbs… eating out is so hard because you don’t know what actually goes into it. Sugar is usually also mixed in.
Yum😋 thx 4 sharing💯
Sounds like many of you need to read Dr. Ken Berry's book, "Lies my doctor told me" and get educated on human nutrition.
This is why I used to love Vegas Buffets when Breakfast was $17 and DInner was $40. Now Breakfast is $50 and Dinner is $80.
That skip the chips and salsa sounded personal 😂
The free chips and salsa is the best part of going to On the Border!
junk food addict
Thanks!
Looks delicious. Thanks Laura
Thanks for doing that . Now I know what to order the right stuff we’re touching the carbs
I'm seriously considering this diet. I've been plagued by problems for years and I've heard that this diet is great for a lot of them
You should. It's a game changer!! #ketocarnivore
Yes, go for it. I am 77 and have been carnivore now for 5 months. Lost 3 dress sizes and my arthritic pain went away:)
At first I thought you ordered ‘four of the fajitas’ 🤣. But you said ‘for the fajitas...’. That would be yummy but very expensive 😆.
I like this series you are doing with carnivore ordering at restaurants. You look like you are asking for permission when you order like when a kid ask for a toy which I find funny. Thanks!
I watch these videos to gain a new appreciation for the varied and exciting diet I eat and the fact I don’t need to be food obsessed but enjoy my food
This is exactly why I never eat out in restaurants! Over $23 plus tip for a meal is ridiculous! I could have made all that food at home for 5 or 6 bucks!!!
Maybe she doesn’t go out to eat much. If you are only going out once or twice a month, $23 doesn’t seem like a lot to pay, especially for the social aspect.
The fajita meat alone is over 5-6$ if you buy good quality… this is not a 5$ meal even made homemade.
I agree. I usually prep three or four different meats for the entire week and it's around $50.
That’s a lie the shrimp alone is 5 or 6 dollars
I thought this was inexpensive.
Thank you for doing this! I would love to see you hit up lots of big chain restaurants. I’ve only been carnivore for a month but I’ve been afraid to go out to eat because I didnt know if there would be pushback from the restaurants trying to order just meat 😅
You have to be cognizant of where you're eating - sometimes you just have pay for the "meal" and not get the sides. Always scope out the menu first to see what they have. It's easier and cleaner to eat at home obviously but sometimes you need to go out to be social (and that's important in your life too) or if you're out of town for work, etc.
@@suew2928 Thank you. Practical.
@RUclips Account And that's the truth. You shouldn't ignore how important it is for your MENTAL health to get out and be social with friends and family. I have some friends where we'll go for a long walk or to a museum or similar instead of eating out, but for the most part - a get together is about eating out. Even so, if you shift your mindset to the "the food is not the focus - spending time with loved ones IS the important part", that helps immensely.
I’ve been on diet of just eating meat for 3 years it doesn’t constipate you, gives you a full feeling and you loose body fat without exercise. All of this I’m experiencing.
You are fabulous! And most informative. Probably a decent tipper, too, haha.
Mm. That looks really good. I think I’d add some melted butter. There is an On the Border down the street from me. Nice to have an option to dine out with someone else.
I've found that most places don't have real butter.
"I'll have what she's having!" Wow. I want to go out to eat with *you*! Wouldn't it be amazing if this kind of ordering was so common that they just put it on the menu as an option?
I own a restaurant, people who are keto or carnivore order like this all the time.
If they did that it wouldnt have been $20 lol
yt pepo
I went to Chuy’s yesterday and found I could order fajita meat in 4oz quantities. Had 8oz beef and 4oz chicken. Everyone else ate like you would expect.
Thank you laura!!!
You missing out on the guacamole girl!
I knowww! 😥
Isn't that low carb?
@@soinlove6889 I’m not sure but it’s definitely good for us. She may not enjoy the taste though idk.
I agree because avocados are good for us! I'm mostly ketovore because of avocados and some alcohol. 🤣
Do you ever think about your impact on animals and the environment?
@@beeootyful thinks about health but only eats meat and dairy. 🤣🤣🤣. Ridiculous.
@@beeootyful kiddo? 🤣.
Also I would say vegan > carnivore but at end of the day, the best way to eat is no rules, no restrictions, eat a variety. 🤷🏼♂️.
@@bigmike9546 sounds like alot of talking out of your ass going on.
I like how people are against what you eat. But for people who only eat veggies or only eat fruit are praised more...mmk
I get the concept of a carnivore diet but I do love you some veggies there’s no way that eating some vegetables is bad for you. There’s so much nutrients and vitamins in vegetables.
Oh that looks amazing!
As a vegetarian, our plates look like exact opposites, but I'm glad the servers in the videos I've seen have been kind and polite. I'm sure both of us understand the occasional unwarranted comment when you're just trying to order food.
Thank you for showing me how it's done when you go to restaurants!!💯❤👍
I have been doing carnivore for 4 months. loving it. I went to a local butcher for the first time, no grass fed anything 😏 except burger. I mentioned carnivore way of eating and she’d never heard of it. 😵💫 at least I didn’t leave empty-handed I got some beef fat to render 🥰 I will continue to look for grass fed grass finished.
I always order a kids steak and rice no rice and pack in my own pork rinds and ghee lol
So what is the supposed benefit of a carnivore diet? Don’t you need the nutrients of veggies/fruit etc ?
There's tonnes of videos with titles specific to this. Plus there's a lot reading material specific to this.
Inflation is insane, i remember this being half the price when i was younger
Nice to see your manners have changed for the better
Did they used to be different
