Were going to a Mexican restaurant tonight would fajitas be a good way to get out if I can avoid the chips? I'm on a bulk so I'm not tooo worried about it but don't want to go COMPLETLY overboard. Also any other Mexican foods that's are macro friendly would be helpful. Thanks!

Just eat what looks good, one meal wont hurt.
Don't get to the place where you count absolutely everything and worry about macros all the time. It ain't worth it. Just enjoy the wonders of Mexican food.
And 'not going overboard'. Why not? Your hardly going to gain a few lbs from 1 meal.
Burrito would be good.

Avoid the fajitas man. Go for the tacos. Not the hard shell tacos though, go with corn based tortillas and ask for carne asada. (thats roated beef) Its so lean and so good. Though typically its best homemade because in restaraunts they add all sorts of things (not just mexican; all restraunts)
So if you order Tacos de Carne Asada, with a side of steamed/white rice and beans. Best meal you can order. If you're not really into the carbs, just substitute the rice with more tacos
(I'm mexican and my diet is made of lots of Mexican food)
Funny too because I am going to a taco party today and gonna bulk myself on some.

No problem man. If you have any more questions before you go out. Ask away.
Also, eat little to no avocado and sour cream. Even though you are on a bulk, you don't need this extra fat.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, which restaurant will you be heading to? Hopefully it is a local restaraunt and not a commercial based one. Local restaraunts typically use better incredients.

Good grief.
Eat the facking avocado, OP. They're good for you.No brain, no gain.

I know this is late, take it as information for the future. Whatever combo Fajitas are available (Steak and Chicken usually). It usually comes with onions and peppers, pico de gallo, guacamole. Eat that, enjoy it, you earned it.
