Nutrition Facts & Calorie Information

428 E 17th St Costa Mesa, CA 92627

55items analyzed
"The menu leans toward bulking — many calorie-dense, high-fat entrées (700–950 kcal) but it also offers several lean, high-protein seafood and chicken options so it can work for either goal. For cutting, choose Shrimp Aguachile (230 kcal, 20 g protein) or Grilled Octopus (250 kcal, 28 g protein) to keep calories low while preserving protein. For bulking, go with the Steak (950 kcal, 48 g protein) or Carne Asada Burrito (800 kcal) to hit a higher calorie and protein target."
