#1: Worst Kids' Meal in America
#2: Worst Mexican Meal
On the Border Kid’s Cheese Quesadilla with Mexican Rice
1,220 calories
75 g fat (31 g saturated)
1,930 mg sodium
On the Border’s kids’ menu mostly offers reasonable Mexican fare, but this cheese quesadilla, along with the nachos, stands out as a disturbing outlier. How the chain veers so far off course with this item, we don’t know. Is it overloaded with cheese, or is the chicken poached in butter? Whatever the case, this quesadilla and rice provide more calories than should be in two kids’ meals and enough sodium to cure a whole hog.

260 calories
12 g fat (4 g saturated)
