Amigos Menu Calories And Macros — What To Expect
Scanning the board can feel busy, so here’s the simple frame: pick your base, pick a protein, watch the extras, and cap the drink. That alone trims a large chunk from the tally without killing the flavor you came for.
Portions vary, so the best way to compare items is by protein, carbs, and sodium per serving. The brand publishes a full list with serving sizes, calories, fat, carbs, protein, and allergens. You’ll see tacos, burritos, bowls, nachos, burgers, sides, and desserts all in one place.
Quick Category Guide
Use this map when you plan a meal. It shows typical leaner picks next to heavier ones so you can swap fast.
| Category | Lighter Pick | Heavier Pick |
|---|---|---|
| Burritos | Soft meat burrito without extra cheese; add pico | Quesadilla burrito with steak or southwest chicken |
| Tacos | Single taco with lettuce and salsa | Taco salad in fried shell with dressing |
| Bowls | Chicken bowl with beans and salsa | Country bowl with gravy or fried steak |
| Nachos | Chips ’n cheese split two ways | Works nachos with extra toppings |
| Burgers | Cheeseburger, hold sauce on request | Double BBQ Jack Burger |
| Sides | Refried beans or junior Mexi Fries | Crispos or large fries |
| Salads | Chicken taco salad without bowl | Taco salad with fried bowl and dressing |
| Desserts | Soft-serve dish (kids) | Glacier Twist drinks |
| Coffeehouse | Iced coffee with milk only | Caramel or mudslide frappe |
What The Numbers Say
The burrito range runs wide. A simple soft meat burrito sits near the middle of the pack on calories and protein, while a quesadilla burrito pushes higher with added cheese. Bowls swing based on gravy, fried add-ons, and dressing. Salads drop fast when you skip the fried shell.
On sides, potatoes climb fast. Beans stay steady and bring fiber. Salsas add pop with almost no calories. A small shake or Glacier Twist lands in dessert range, so treat it like one.
Build A Meal That Fits Your Goal
Pick a lane: more protein, fewer calories, lower sodium, or dairy-free. Then build from base to extras. The combos below keep flavor while steering the numbers.
Lower Calorie Track
Go with a taco or small bowl. Choose chicken or steak without heavy sauces. Load pico and mild sauce. Add beans if you want a fuller plate. Pair with water or a diet drink.
Higher Protein Track
Double the meat in a taco or bowl. Ask for extra salsa instead of cheese sauce. Keep the shell simple. Beans or refritos help round the plate and add more protein.
Lower Sodium Track
Sauces and dressings bring the biggest hits. Ask for them on the side or skip them. Beans, rice, pico, and plain proteins keep the taste without a large sodium spike.
Dairy-Free Track
Many picks include milk powders or cheese. Ask staff which proteins are plain and pick salsas over dressings. Soft-serve, malts, and frappes use dairy, so choose a fruit drink in a small size if you want a sweet sip.
Portion Swaps That Matter
Small changes move the needle. Here are easy gives and gets that add up fast.
Tortilla Trades
Choose a taco over a stuffed burrito when you want fewer calories and carbs. If you still want the burrito, skip extra cheese and add fresh salsa to keep punch without load.
Shell Choices
A fried bowl adds many calories and sodium. Getting the salad without the shell cuts both and keeps greens plus protein. Crunch still shows up from a few chips on the side.
Potato Portions
Order junior Mexi Fries or a kids soft-serve to leave room for a burrito or taco. Large fries or Crispos turn the plate into a full meal by themselves.
How To Read The Label On The Board
Each item lists calories, carbs, protein, fat, sodium, and allergens. Start with serving size. Then scan protein for satiety, carbs for portion, and sodium to pace sauces. That quick pass helps you pick a set that matches your target.
You can view the brand’s full chart online on the nutrition and allergens page. It lists items like soft meat burrito, quesadilla burrito, bacon ranch burger, salad dressings, sides, and frozen drinks along with numbers per serving.
Where Those Numbers Come From
Chains pull values from standardized recipes, supplier sheets, and lab data. Items change with seasonal supply, so published values can shift a little over time. That’s normal for restaurant food, and why ranges help.
Smart Picks By Time Of Day
Morning, lunch, late night—each window has stand-out moves.
Breakfast Moves
A sausage and egg biscuit packs dense energy. If you want a lighter plate, pick a breakfast bowl with more eggs and salsa, or share the biscuit and add fruit later in the day.
Lunch And Dinner Swaps
Try a chicken taco salad without the bowl. Or go with a cheeseburger and a side of beans. Both land near the middle on calories and bring decent protein.
Late Night Orders
Big nachos can crowd out the rest of the day. Split one and add a taco if you still want more. Pair with a diet drink to keep sugar in check.
Sauce, Salsa, And Sides — Hidden Math
Small cups carry flavor but can change the totals fast. Ranch and poppyseed dressings add many calories and fat. Mild sauce, pico, and spicy salsa add zip with small calorie loads. Beans bring fiber and protein with steady calories per scoop.
Frozen Drinks And Shakes
Glacier Twists and shakes look like drinks but they act like desserts. A small one can match a burger on sugar. The added sugars daily value is 50 grams on a 2,000-calorie plan, so a dessert drink can use most of that by itself.
Sample Combos That Hit Common Targets
These sample sets keep taste upfront and show how to balance portions. Use them as templates and swap in your favorite meat or salsa.
| Goal | Order | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Under 600 Calories | Chicken taco salad without bowl + diet drink | Good protein and greens; cuts shell and dressing load |
| High Protein | Double taco meat bowl + beans + pico | Extra meat and beans raise protein with steady carbs |
| Lower Sodium | Soft taco + beans + water | Simple build with sauces on the side |
| Shareable Treat | Split works nachos + two waters | Halves the calories and still delivers crunch |
| Kids Plate | Junior Mexi Fries + kids soft-serve | Small portions that feel fun |
Allergens And Special Requests
The chart flags milk, egg, soy, wheat, shellfish, and tree nuts where used. If you need a swap, ask staff about plain proteins and tortillas. Salsa and pico work well when you skip dressings. Fryers can be shared, so cross-contact can happen.
Vegetarian And Plant-Forward Moves
Beans are the easiest way to add plant protein here. Pair a bean-heavy bowl with pico and mild sauce, or add beans to a taco for more staying power. Salads without the fried shell keep things tidy while you layer in vegetables and a lean protein on top if you want it.
If you choose dairy, small amounts of cheese add flavor fast. If you skip dairy, load salsa and spice to replace that “pop.” A handful of chips on the side brings crunch without turning the meal into a plate of fried food.
Kids, Tweens, And Teen Orders
Smaller hands do better with simple builds. A plain taco, a few Mexi Fries, and milk or water make a balanced set. Teens who burn through energy can add a second taco or beans. Keep dessert drinks rare and size them down.
What About Beans, Rice, And Tortillas?
Beans and rice set the base in many plates. Beans supply fiber and steady protein. Rice adds carbs to fill the plate. Tortillas add structure but also bring calories and sodium. Pick the combo that fits your plan that day.
If you’re counting carbs, let rice share space with beans rather than fill the whole base. If you want to keep sodium lower, lean on pico and salsa instead of cheese sauce, and ask for sauces on the side.
Where To Check Reliable Numbers
You can confirm menu data on the brand’s page linked above. For added sugars limits on labels, the FDA resource in this article explains the daily value and how to read it. Both links open in new tabs so you can compare while you build your order.
Final Tips You Can Use Tonight
Pick one goal, plan your base, and add color with salsas. Keep drinks small, swap a fried shell for pico, and share a dessert. You’ll leave full and still feel good about the numbers.
