How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request no breading or flour coating. Specify pan-seared or grilled instead of deep-fried if frying often implies breading. Omit all starchy sides (rice, tostones, yuca, plantains). Request green salad or steamed non-starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
Breading/flour coating (very common for 'Pescado Frito'), high-carb starchy sides.
