Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen

We wanted, so badly, to highly rate this place, besides liking the food. Unfortunately, getting the food order through the restaurant's website leaves out specific options like asking for sauces/dips, etc. to be placed on the side and asking to confirm if they actually deliver on base, for example. The Agility plate arrived drenched in some kind of chipotle sauce which was super hot x10, making it hard to digest. The same with the burritos we also ordered, although the drenching inside was not nearly as bad but we felt the spiciness and hotness of the sauce, regardless. We, briefly, stayed at a hotel on base and had to meet the delivery guy (who was on a bicycle bike in this chilly weather on a Wed) at the gate, after giving the person a hefty tip, beforehand, for a 50+ minute delivery.

I live in the neighborhood and really wanted to love Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen. Bay Ridge has always been a strong working-class community, and one of the reasons many small businesses survive here is because commercial rent is still among the more affordable in NYC. That said, the pricing here feels closer to an upper-class dining experience than a local neighborhood spot. For the price, the food quality and freshness are inconsistent. At times it’s good, but other times it doesn’t feel as fresh as you would expect when you’re paying restaurant-level prices for what is essentially fast-service dining. The service and overall experience don’t always match the premium pricing. That being said, it’s still a better and healthier option than Chipotle or most fast-food chains, and I appre

Was in town at the end of March from Texas and discovered this spot as I was walking by. I ordered something I have never heard of, Turkey Chorizo?! Amazing!! I was blown away with the portion size, zero fat and tasted fantastic with the garnish and sauces. I wish I could have stayed longer to try their creative and assorted menu so I highly recommend this joint.... ~CCG

I ordered #48 plate with the Barbacoa - it was *so* good. The best pico de gallo I had. It wasn't saucy. The flavor of the Barbacoa was on point. My base was quinoa. The meal was filling, and due to the healthy whole ingredients, I didn't feel slugged down. The double protein weighed like 3 lbs. My partner orders it every time we get food from here. The sodas ingredients had real cane sugar too. Al Horno does great Mexican cuisine. It's even more health conscious and Mexican food is seriouslu already full of veggies and whole food. Def going back to this location.

We've been ordering from this place often since the food is high quality. You can see and taste the freshness of the ingredients. My favorites are the shrimp, chicken, and steak tacos. My husband loves their burritos.
