What to Order at Dos Toros for High Cholesterol

Heart-smart Dos Toros picks when you're watching your cholesterol — the best bowls, proteins, and toppings, plus what to skip.

Dos Toros is quality build-your-own Mexican, which means you're in control — the heart-smart path is a bowl over a burrito, beans and brown rice for fiber, grilled protein, and letting salsa and guac do the flavor instead of cheese and sour cream.

What to look for at Dos Toros

Watch the cheese, sour cream, and chips for saturated fat and sodium, and the flour tortilla for refined carbs. Lean on a bowl base, brown rice, beans, grilled protein, and fresh salsas.

Heart-smart picks

  • A bowl (skip the tortilla) with brown rice and black or pinto beans — real fiber.

  • Grilled chicken or the veggie option, loaded with lettuce and fresh salsa.

  • Guacamole for good fats instead of cheese + sour cream.

  • Pico and the salsas for big flavor with almost no saturated fat.

Solid runners-up

  • A veggie bowl with beans, rice, guac, and salsa.

  • Soft tacos (a couple) with grilled chicken, salsa, no cheese.

What to skip

  • Cheese + sour cream together (the saturated-fat combo).

  • Chips on the side (sodium).

  • Burrito (flour tortilla) as the default — the bowl is lighter.

Quick tips

Bowl not burrito, brown rice + beans, grilled protein, guac instead of cheese and sour cream, and pile on the salsa. A genuinely heart-smart Mexican meal.
