Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

1240 E 14th St, Des Moines, IA 50316

31items analyzed
"This menu is overall calorie-dense and protein-rich, so it skews toward bulking rather than strict cutting. For cutting, pick the Desayuno Cuscatleco (230 kcal, 19 g protein) and skip fried sides or extra cheese to keep calories low; Spinach & Cheese (250 kcal) is another light option. For bulking, choose the Antojito Sampler (1,300 kcal) or the Pork & Cheese (1,000 kcal) — or add an extra side of rice/beans to any plate to boost calories and carbs."
