A Guide to 
Keto-  Friendly 
Mexican  Food
Needless to say, Mexican food tastes great. But if you are on a Keto 
diet, you must  be wondering if you should binge on Mexican food or 
not. In this blog, I will take  you through everything that you are 
looking forward to.
This blog will answer your questions like which food to eat at a 
Mexican  restaurant when on a Keto diet and which ones to 
avoid. Which is the best  Mexican restaurant in Hong Kong 
and so on.
So, let us get started.
Mexican Food To eat
Look for carne asada, fajitas, and chile 
verde, that  are not soaked in sugary 
marinades.
You can also have cheese, sour 
cream, a small  amount of salsa and 
guacamole with the dish.
What is Keto diet?
The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, 
and  adequate-protein diet. This diet is taken to 
burn body fat  rather than carbohydrates. The 
ketogenic diet takes your  body into a metabolic 
state known as ketosis. This state is  achieved 
by eating no more than 50 grams of carbs per  
day. Mexican food is normally high in 
carbohydrates. So, it  is better to stick with 
meats, sour cream, cheeses, and  avoid beans, 
chips, and tortillas.
There are four types of keto diets and 
depending on the  type, you can choose the 
Mexican dish.
Types of Keto Diet
Standard Keto 
Diet  Targeted 
Keto Diet  
Cyclical Keto 
Diet
High-Protein 
Keto Diet
There are many other variations too but these 
four are  widely followed by people.
Mexican food cannot just be high in fat, but 
can also be  high in carbs. Some Mexican 
staple food that you can  found in almost 
every Mexican restaurant include corn,  rice, 
beans, flour tortillas.
Mexican Food to avoid on Keto?
When you are on a Keto diet, avoid ordering 
any of  following food at a Mexican restaurant 
like rice, tortilla  chips, beans, corn, potatoes, 
tortillas, and anything  sweet. While you place 
an order, make sure you keep an  intake of 
guacamole, salsa, and queso in a very small  
amount. Apart from these, people on Keto diet 
must  also avoid eating flour tortillas. The 
tortillas that are  labeled as low-carb still have 
upwards 19 grams of  carbs. Instead of that, 
you can savour a lettuce wrap — a  much 
better option.
Corn Tortillas Can Be a Great 
Choice
Looking at the nutritional value, having a corn 
tortilla  will be a great choice for those on a 
keto diet. But these  taste better only when 
eaten fresh else these may turn  into a 
substance hard to eat.
Say Yes to Fajitas
On keto, you can have Fajitas. These are made 
with  grilled beef, chicken or vegetables as 
long as they do not  have a sugary marinade or 
sauce cooking with them. You  can have this 
with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, or  even 
guacamole in little amount.
Conclusion
Being on a Keto diet does not mean you cannot go out 
and try  different restaurants. You just need to know 
what is right for you  and what things you should 
avoid. There are a lot of restaurants  in Hong Kong, 
but if you want all your needs to be covered, then  go 
nowhere other than to La Vista, the best Mexican 
restaurant  in Hong Kong.
