How to make it keto
Request without bread, tostones, or other starchy accompaniments. Ask for a side of steamed or sautéed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans) or a green salad.
Watch out for
Marinades can sometimes contain sugar (unlikely for savory pinchos, but worth confirming). The main risk comes from traditional high-carb sides, which must be omitted.
