About a third of the items on the menu have more than 1,000 calories, and most of them are spiked with enough sodium to melt a polar icecap.

I have been hoping for a baja fresh in NYC since I moved here. If only I could get a Bahia Don Bravo's outside of San Diego I would be done. @mamacita – I am down for a taste test when they open.

But I gotta say ripe delicious produce is cheaper on the west coast. Keep dreaming if you think you are going to see a self serve salsa bar in NYC rental prices. Oh hush!
