If you’re craving Mexican cuisine, then you’re in luck! There are many Mexican restaurants in Appleton and they are all delicious. I love going out for Mexican because there’s nothing like the warm tortilla chips and freshly made salsa. I really just love authentic cuisine too because it’s so fresh and just tastes better.
If you’re worried about consuming too many calories while out to dinner…have no fear! I have a few recommendations you can order to help you stay on the lighter side of things. First, I know I just talked about the tortilla chips and salsa, but if you really want to cut back I suggest you let your waiter know that you don’t want them so you aren’t even tempted. I would also refrain from ordering anything that is deep fried, choose soft corn shells when possible, crunchy often means fried. I know we’re in Wisconsin, but it’s also healthier if you skip the cheese. Unpopular opinion I know, but it’s just a thought. Lastly when choosing your beverage, obviously water is best but ask your waiter about skinny versions of margaritas and daiquiris.
I’ve created a list with some of the best Mexican Restaurants in Appleton below.
