Cafe Rio Nutrition Calculator

It depends entirely on the build. A 12" flour tortilla alone is 420 calories. Add cilantro lime rice (110), black beans (180), fire-grilled chicken (80), pico de gallo (10), and tomatillo sauce (25) and you're at 825 calories with 38g of protein. Swap to sweet pork barbacoa, cheddar jack, sour cream, and guacamole and the same burrito clears 1,200 calories. The biggest swing levers are the tortilla, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.

Baja Citrus Shrimp is the protein leader at 17g for 260 calories per 4 oz serving. Stacking fire-grilled chicken (14g protein, 80 cal per 2 oz) with shredded jack cheese (14g protein, 210 cal per 2 oz) on a salad base gets you to 40g+ protein. For a lean build, double up on fire-grilled chicken or pollo asado (14g protein, 110 cal) and skip the tortilla.

A salad with romaine, fire-grilled chicken (80 cal, 14g protein), black beans (180 cal), pico de gallo (10 cal), salsa fresca (5 cal), and tomatillo sauce (25 cal) lands at about 300 calories with 25g+ protein. Skip the tortilla (420 cal), cheese (210 cal), guacamole (40 cal), sour cream (60 cal), and creamy tomatillo dressing (150 cal). Tortilla soup alone is 380 calories with 24g protein if you want a one-bowl option.

Yes, dropping the 12" flour tortilla saves you 420 calories and 63g of carbs instantly. The same protein, beans, rice, and toppings on a salad base run 350–500 calories less than the burrito version. The catch is the dressing — Cilantro Lime Dressing is 130 cal and Creamy Tomatillo is 150 cal per 1.5 fl oz serving. Stick to mango salsa (35 cal) or salsa fresca (5 cal) to keep the calorie savings.

Cilantro lime rice is 21g carbs per 4 oz, black beans are 28g per 4.5 oz (with 10g fiber), and pinto beans are 31g carbs per 4.5 oz (also 10g fiber). A standard burrito with rice + beans is 50–60g of carbs before you add the 63g from the flour tortilla. To cut carbs, go with a salad base and pick beans over rice — beans give you protein and fiber, rice is mostly empty carbs.

Tomatillo Sauce — Mild is the lightest at 25 calories per 2 fl oz. Mango Salsa (35 cal), Habanero (30 cal), and Green Chile Medium (40 cal) are also light. The heaviest are Creamy Tomatillo Dressing at 150 cal/15g fat and Cilantro Lime Dressing at 130 cal/9g sugar. Avoid stacking creamy dressings on top of cheese and sour cream if you're watching macros.

Yes — Sweet Pork Barbacoa has 9g of sugar per 2 oz serving, which is high for a savory protein. It's also leaner in calories (70 cal) and lower in protein (4g) than the other meats. Fire-grilled chicken (0g sugar, 14g protein) and carne asada (0g sugar, 12g protein) are better picks if you're tracking sugar or maximizing protein per calorie.
