Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

8548 S Stony Island Ave, Chicago, IL 60617

98items analyzed
"EL Taco Express’ menu runs mostly calorie-dense, with many items (tortas, loaded fries, burritos) packing fat and carbs along with protein. Cutting pick: Carne Asada Taco (240 kcal, 20 g protein) offers solid protein with relatively modest calories. Bulking pick: Quesabirria Torta (1050 kcal, 58 g protein) or Burrito Bowl (650 kcal, 35 g protein) to boost calories while maintaining protein. For a balanced option, a Burrito Bowl or similar combo can fit a middle-ground diet."
