Weight-Loss Anyone familiar with Cafe Rio?

We have a delicious Mexican restaurant here in Utah named Cafe Rio. I love the place but avoid eating there as I cannot find reliable information about their calorie contents.

I particularly like their steak salad. I found a couple of sources that claim the salad has 1010 calories. I find this hard to believe as the meal is quite huge and I have a hard time finishing it. I'm thinking closer to 2000 calories.

I know the restaurant has a few branches is surrounding states and wondering if anyone has any input on this?

The salad contains rice, beans, meat, a 12" tortilla, some cheese, and some vegetables. I do not know the exact amount of each component.

The restuarant's website makes suggestions for lower calorie options... but honestly - I'd drop their customer service an email and say what you said.. that you enjoy their food, but want reliable nutritioon info to make informed choices - they might or might not have it available.. or it might be enough to get them to start posting it (those customer requests prompted both Starbucks and Quiznos to post nutrition info so the requests do work)

If not - you might find close enough somewhere else like (they might get you close enough for the rice, beans, tortilla, etc.)

Thanks a lot Mal. Chipotle actually sounds very similar. Using their calculator, the salad is 1400 calories. That is more believable.
