California Tortilla's nod to Cuba

So, I tried the new Havana Chicken (with a touch of lime) Lowest Fat! burrito from California Tortilla yesterday. And, boy, was it a tasty burrito. Mesquite chicken, Mexican rice, black beans, spicy low fat Havana sauce with a touch of lime, fresh salsa and romaine.
One of the things I like about getting burritos at California Tortilla -- besides the chance to sample the varied hot sauces from their Wall of Flame -- is that they offer a small and regular size. Most restaurant burritos are made one size -- huge. They're often more than I want or anyone should have. Another bonus within this Mexican food chain: lite versions of menu items.
That means in the case of my new Cuban burrito discovery, if you opt for the small lite version you're taking in less than 4 grams of fat and less than 30 carbs. If you want to try one, there are locations in several states including my home state of Virginia despite the name. Ironically, there are no locations listed for California. You might also check out the listing of grand openings planned to see if there is one planned for your area. California Tortilla gives free burritos and drinks to all patrons during certain hours on the first day of business for all new restaurants and a free burrito every week for a year for the first 10 people in line. (My town was the lucky one in February!)
