What You’ll Find On The Amigos & Kings Classic Board
This drive-thru favorite blends tacos, burritos, burgers, bowls, salads, fries, and shakes. The nutrition page lists calories, carbs, fat, protein, and sodium for each item. That lets you match cravings with numbers. Below is a fast scan of menu picks across categories to help you plan a balanced order.
| Menu Item | Calories | Sodium |
|---|---|---|
| Cheeseburger | 370 | 740 mg |
| Double Cheeseburger | 580 | 1,060 mg |

Those numbers come straight from the brand’s published chart. If you track sodium, note that several picks land near or above a day’s target in a single serving. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sets the Daily Value for sodium at less than 2,300 milligrams. That context helps you size sides and sauces without guesswork.
Close Variant: Amigos Kings Classic Nutrition Facts Guide
Let’s turn that long list into quick moves you can use at the speaker. You’ll see three levers: portion size, swaps inside the same category, and add-ons that change totals fast. Pick one lever, or stack two, and you’ll see impact without feeling boxed in.
Portion Choices That Keep Things Balanced
Many menu items come in small, regular, and large builds. A junior fry trims sodium and calories. Salads drop sharply when you skip the fried tortilla bowl. Breakfast burritos swing up when you select three meats or country fried steak. The nutrition chart shows these differences in black and white, so you can pick the fit for today.
Smart Swaps Inside The Category
Inside burritos, proteins shift numbers. Grilled chicken and steak versions of the quesadilla burrito carry similar calories; the chicken build lists 610 calories and 1,200 mg sodium, while the steak lists 550 calories and 1,390 mg sodium. The regular crisp pinto burrito comes in lighter than meat versions. In salads, the bowl adds heft; the chicken taco salad drops to 290 calories when you order it without the bowl.
Add-Ons And Sauces That Move The Needle
Small cups of salsa and dressings look harmless, yet the totals add up. Ranch dressing, for instance, lists 220 calories per 71 g serving with 390 mg sodium. Zesty Ranch sits at 180 calories and the same sodium. A 1-oz cup of spicy cheese adds 20 calories with 150 mg sodium. Diablo salsa is almost calorie-free but still contributes salt. These small numbers matter when your base order already runs high.
Breakfast, Burgers, Bowls, And More
Breakfast stretches from egg sandwiches to scramblers and skillets. The Sausage and Egg Sandwich on a Muffin lists 430 calories; the same sandwich on a biscuit moves to 600. Burritos range from a 390-calorie steak-and-egg build to a 760-calorie grilled grande three-meat. Scrambler bowls reach 690 calories with gravy, while a 3-Meat Breakfast Bowl lists 580.
On the burger side, a classic cheeseburger sits at 370 calories with 20 g protein. Double builds push both calories and protein up fast. Specialty burgers such as the Bacon Ranch KINGBurger land at 700 calories. If you want a sandwich with fewer fries in the mix, consider pairing any burger with a side of beans or rice instead of potatoes.
Bowls, salads, and tacos carry a wide spread. The Southwest Chicken Salad lists 580 calories with 30 g protein. The Nut & Berry Chicken Salad lands at 430 calories with 23 g protein. Taco salads climb with the fried bowl; without it, totals ease down while protein stays solid.
How To Read The Chart Like A Pro
Start with calories to gauge the size of the meal. Then scan protein to see staying power. Finish with sodium, since that’s the nutrient that spikes fast across fast-casual picks. If a single item passes half of the daily sodium target, shift another part of the order to a lower-salt choice. That small adjustment keeps the day on track.
Protein Benchmarks That Help With Satiety
Most burritos and burgers sit in the 20–40 g protein range. Salads with grilled chicken often hit the 30–42 g zone. Wings are high protein but also carry large sodium numbers in bigger portions. When you need staying power, aim for at least 20 g in the main item and keep sides lighter.
Sodium Awareness Without Losing Flavor
Big swings come from cured meats, seasoned chips, and sauces. Salsa and pico add pop with almost no calories. Switching one heavy sauce to pico can shave hundreds of milligrams. Ordering beans or rice rather than extra chips does the same.
Build-It Picks And Mix-And-Match Tips
The Build-It section lets you select a tortilla or bowl, a protein, beans, salsa, and extras. The regular bowl base lists 310 calories with 840 mg sodium before add-ons. Grilled chicken adds 50 calories and 10 g protein in the regular add-on portion; steak adds 45 calories and 8 g protein. Black beans add 40 calories with 0 g fat. Salsa verde adds a few calories and some sodium; pico adds near-zero calories and modest salt.
| Build-It Add-On | Calories | Sodium |
|---|---|---|
| Grilled Chicken (regular add-on) | 50 | 320 mg |
| Steak (regular add-on) | 45 | 340 mg |
| Black Beans (regular add-on) | 40 | 260 mg |
| Pico De Gallo (regular) | 0 | 45 mg |
| Salsa Verde (regular) | 10 | 190 mg |
| Diablo Hot Sauce (regular) | 5 | 140 mg |
That grid shows how a lean protein and bean combo drives protein up without blowing the cap. If you want carbs for workout days, regular rice adds 170 calories with modest protein. Chips and nachos shift the picture fast, so plan them as a shared item when you want a little crunch.
Fries, Crispos, And Nachos
Potato sides pack salt. A regular fry lists 360 calories with 770 mg sodium; the large lists 480 calories and 1,020 mg. Mexi Fries track closely in calories with a touch less salt per serving. Chips ’N Cheese lands at 760 calories, and Meat Nachos break 1,000 calories. When you want chips, pick a small size and lean on fresh salsa instead of heavy cheese.
Sweet Treats And Freezes
A plain soft-serve dish sits at 250 calories. Glacier Twists run 430–470 calories depending on flavor. Shakes vary by size and mix-ins. If you’re pairing dessert with a larger entrée, consider skipping fries or swapping to beans so the full meal stays within your daily range.
Drinks: From Black Coffee To Dessert-Style
Plain brewed coffee is nearly calorie-free. A small mocha or latte adds milk and syrup, which raises calories fast. Blended frappes span from 310 to 530 calories per cup on the Amigos list. If you like sweet coffee, pick the smallest size and limit syrup pumps. For caffeine without sugar, go with brewed coffee or unsweetened iced coffee. You can scan coffee calories on trusted databases and verify specialty drink numbers on the brand page.
Sample Orders For Different Goals
High-Protein Lunch Under 700 Calories
Pick the quesadilla burrito with grilled chicken at 610 calories and 37 g protein. Add pico for flavor. Skip chips. That keeps room for a plain coffee.
Lighter Burrito Craving Around 500 Calories
Grab a crisp pinto burrito at 250 calories and add a regular bowl base at 310 calories with salsa, then split the bowl. You get flavor and volume without a blowout.
Salad-Forward Meal With Crunch
Order the chicken taco salad without the bowl for 290 calories and 32 g protein. Add a junior Mexi Fry to share for 200 calories. End with a soft-serve kids cup at 230 calories if you want something sweet.
Allergens, Ingredients, And Swaps
The nutrition chart also tags common allergens. Milk and wheat appear across many fried or cheesy picks. Eggs show up in breakfast items and some dressings. If you need to avoid specific ingredients, use the filter view on the nutrition page and sort by food type. That quick pass saves time at the drive-thru window.
