Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

500 N Sierra St, Reno, NV 89503

26items analyzed
"This menu is skewed toward higher-calorie, indulgent plates (many items 700–900 kcal), so overall it’s more suited to bulking than cutting. For cutting, pick the Grilled Red Prawns Tostada (≈350 kcal, 20 g protein) or Spiced Shrimp (≈400 kcal, 35 g protein) for a lower-calorie, high-protein meal. For bulking, choose the Beef Birria (≈850 kcal, 56 g protein) or New York Steak Asada for concentrated calories and protein."
