*For me* this would not work. Oh no. I could just see myself rationalizing it away.

HOWEVER, I can see the potential for it not working, too. I could see it happening where, you've been running around all day before work and didn't get a chance to eat anything, and you've worked half your shift and you're starving, and you decide to eat something, maybe a burrito. Then you feel like a failure, and like you might as well eat whatever there. I've been in that situation, and mine was also a fast food mexican place.
Agreed. That is why it is absolutely ESSENTIAL to
bring healthy on plan foods from home, so that you're never in a situation where you are faced with nothing to eat and starving. I also don't allow myself to get starving. Because when I do, it sets me up to make poor choices.
I do like this idea:

It's a restaurant, they've got to have lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Make it a mexican-style salad with a couple chips crumbled into it and salsa for dressing.
But it does go back to the fact that you would be eating food from "there". But in an absolute dire emergency.........
