Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen — Restaurant in New York

Mehhh, honestly the food is pretty mid. Usually, when I try veganized Mexican food it’s really good, so this was a disappointment. I had their Vegan Torta and asked them to add some vegan chorizo. I love beets, so I ordered their beet salad. The Torta lacked so much taste and there was barely any cheese in it. The vegan chorizo also was veryyyyy dry and tasteless. However, the portion was good and overall I’d give the torta a 2/5.

Now the beet salad was a whole other story. It was literally just big chunks of beets, big sliced chunks of onions and corn lmaooo. I was so confused! It was overwhelming and couldn’t be eaten. The server (didn’t get her name), tried to make it seem that online it has the description of what was in the beet salad. Even though I told her that when you go to their vegan website (separate than their regular website), it immediately takes you to seamless or something and that there is no description, it just says vegan beet salad. Lool she really was trying to dismiss what I saw, with what she believed and she was kind of rude too.

Maybe their other food is good, but this was...

On March 22 2019 we ordered food from one of Al Horno's NYC locations for our office lunch meeting. We had 18 people get sick / food poisoning. The restaurant provided a refund for the order.

Unfortunately my body's reaction to food poisoning was severe enough to warrant a visit to the doctor. I incurred medical expenses which I requested the restaurant to reimburse but my request seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

After multiple attempts of establishing communication, I got one call from Chris (who I believe to be the owner) who apologized for the incident and said he would look into my request. It's been silence since then and my continued communication attempts via email go unanswered. Is this going to take 17 of my work colleagues to report their individual food poisoning incidents on multiple social medial channels for...

Al Horno strikes a good balance blending robust, healthy ingredients with some more varied menu choices. So you won't find much in the way of "street tacos" but if you are looking for some tasty, filling options (very generous portions as well) it's a great option.

Personal favorites: Cacti (nopales) tacos : great spices, fresh taste. If you've never tried cactus before don't be afraid, you're missing out! Mega Green Quesadilla : a tasty vegetarian option Morning Burrito: turkey bacon provides a salty kick while egg whites, beans, brown rice, cheese and guac round things out.

Other things tried: The barbacoa burrito was on the "too meaty" side but the turkey chorizo burrito option was more...
