Seems like a decent healthier alternative to the standard Mexican spot since they have create your own salads and similar options. I also noticed a decent amount of pickups from the gym down the block, so I decided to give it a try. The prices are a bit steep for the neighborhood in my opinion. After tax it was almost twenty dollars for either a salad or a burrito. I got the steak salad, and the beef was chopped into really small pieces that ended up overcooked and chewy. It was still a decent salad overall, but for the price I probably would not get the salad again. I might still come back to try their other options like the tacos or burritos since the healthier choices seem to be their whole thing. read more

Ordered from them recently looking for something healthier than your regular old Mexican spot and the food was really good. Fresh ingredients, very tasty and best part healthy food which is what I was aiming for. Definitely ordering from them again, give them a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

Came here on taco Tuesday to try the tacos. They were fresh and simple. The service was a bit slower than I expected but well worth the wait. Their chile lime sauce was tasty! The ambiance is your basic table and chairs. This is a great healthier option to chipotle and fast food taco places. read more

AWFUL. I've been going here for years with my family and won't be back. I ordered a burrito I normally order and when it came, it was made oddly. I called and the counter person, Guadalupe would not help and she said it was made by the "new chef" and that I was to blame. I ordered an 18 dollar burrito and got lettuce and literally a tablespoon of beans and a piece of cauliflower. Never again. Do not recommend. read more

Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen - Lettuce burrito anyone? - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wow. I am not used to finding a menu with so many unique offerings. Talk about blowing a regular restaurant out of the par! Al Horno sets the bar high with fusion items, mix and matches that appeal, and nice vegetarian choices. This is NOT your typical Mexican or 'healthy' menu; it's so creative! Descriptions have an emphasis on health - mentioning things ike protein and endurance. All kinds of meats are offered, but also cactus and falafel! I did order takeout from here, and very different tastes in my dinner party were very satisfied. I ordered the Cauliflower Burrito, with "Steamed cauliflower, pinto mash, low-fat cheddar, hot sauce, low-fat sour cream and brown rice. Served in whole wheat tortilla." It was delicious. Apparently this is what I have always wanted to eat in life, so thank you, Al Horno, for anticipating my life goals of cauliflower and refried beans cozying up together in a whole wheat tortilla. If I stayed any longer near your takeout, I'd be broke AND able to write a much longer review... til next time! read more

I love their food so much! Amazing service and great quality! I feel the food is super healthy and fresh which is hard to come around.

Stopped by post-workout for my usual Muscle Repair and bottle of water to-go. What I like about the place is that the menu clearly states the macros for each item and the portions are actually filling. One must enter with an open mind. The place serves healthy variations of your favorite meals so its definitely sodium and calorie conscious. There are plenty of reviews complaining bout the taste and blandness of the dishes but the intent here is to make a "lean" version of those dishes. The pricing is a bit high but for those that are tracking macros, it is worth every penny. read more

First time there and told the cashier. She couldnt care less. She had that attitude. When I asked her about the cactus taco she said she had never had one. Not much help there. The Taco Tuesday Special is two tacos but they have to be the same. You cant even pay the higher price of the two and get two different ones. Inflexible. The tacos were good but the inhospitality of the counter person makes it very unlikely I will return. Oh yes, the Horchata was a waste of money. I think Ill find another place until they make some changes. read more

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. read more

I drove past the restaurant a number of times and never stopped in mainly because of COVID-19 restrictions. Last week T Mobile Tuesday's featured a $25 off coupon on restaurants.com when you spend $50 or more. Well that's not too difficult these days so I decided to give them a try. Currently it's take out only and that was good as the restaurant is on the small side. They feature healthy and vegan style options if you want to go that way. They have tacos, burritos, quesadillas, entrees Mexican tortas, enchiladas, salads,soups, deserts, smoothies, juices, sauces, sides and deserts. There are over 100 items on the menu. I called to get some information on redeeming the coupon and spoke with Alfredo who was very nice, unfortunately I did not get to meet him in the restaurant. Everything We ordered was very good. I would say from my choices the tacos were the best! They were pretty large and you have a choice of the whole meat or multigrain. We ordered the chicken tacos and the fish tacos. They come with onions, cilantro, and lime. You can opt for extras at an additional cost. The multigrain tortilla soup was my least favorite, it was good although tasted a little bland. It comes with chips that were salty. The muscle repair plate was big enough for 2 people for sure. It consists of chicken, steak, cactus, pico de gallo, pinto mash, quinoa and Al Horno sauce. I gave them 5 stars based on my take out experience. I'm not sure that I would want to dine in when it returns unless it's for breakfast or lunch. It does not seem there would be much atmosphere. They have multiple locations with 5 in Manhattan and 1 in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. I would recommend them for their food and will be back. See read more

It looks like Brooklyn has the best Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen, judging from the Yelp ratings. I ordered on UberEats and got the food hot, packaged well, and up-to-par in terms of quality and taste. The Chipotle Steak Burrito ($12.45) was amazing. Packed with tons of meat, this guacamole, black beans, brown rice, (optional) quinoa and chipotle sauce burrito wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla hit the spot and did not spill, which is surprising compared to Chipotle burritos. I love the healthy options at Al Horno, but for the Chia Cakes ($9.45), multi-grain chia seed pancakes topped with fruit, I found it a bit tasteless (sign of healthfulness, I suppose). Maybe it's because they're two pancakes stacked on top of each other, but if I eat this again, I would probably add my own butter and sugared syrup or honey to both layers. The fruits themselves were fresh. Lastly, for lunch the day after, I ate the Al Horno Burrito, and after a quick microwave heating, it was still fresh! I liked the flavor and texture of the pepper jack cheese with the rest of the burrito. It also added some moisture to the chicken and tortilla which could've been on the drier side. I'm not sure what the Al Horno sauce is exactly, but it's non-spicy and tastes good. Plus, the $10.95 tag is well worth. read more

This place has a bunch of healthy lean options! The food always comes out hot & the portions are huge! The service is also great! You really can't go wrong with any wrap! (: read more

It took me way too long to try this place, the food is outstanding. If I lived closer I would be there everyday (which in this case, my waistline thanks me). We ordered the chicken jalapeño soup, fit fajita, wild Buffalo burrito and the chipotle steak burrito. I ate the steak burrito, it was so lean and softer than butter, definitely a must try. It all came with chips and guacamole. I'm not one to rave about guac because it is a simple recipe, however this is probably one of the best I have ever had. Pass on chipotle, qdoba or any other fast grab and go burrito spot and get here ASAP, you will not be disappointed. read more

Absolutely delicious and fresh!!! Cannot recommend highly enough. Our go to Mexican place.

I was very interested to try a healthy or "lean" version of Mexican food. It's a hard comparison to regular Mexican joints. I would compare it to maybe fuel or nature's grill, but Mexican style. They offer smoothies, juices, quesadillas, tacos, burritos, plates, and sandwiches. Prices aren't cheap, comparable to most health food joints. You order and sit down, or get take out. I got my food rather quickly. I got the endurance plate which comes with chicken breast, pico de Gallo, black beans, avocado, and al horno sauce. The chicken breast was marinated well, flavorful and not too dry. The al horno sauce definitely helped with that. The al horno sauce is green in color, has a hint of avocado flavor to it, not exactly sure what it's made of. The platter was enjoyable, didn't feel guilty about eating it, and I was full after. I'd compare to to a burrito bowl from chipotle but a much leaner version. A good alternate to have in the neighborhood for a quick bite. read more

Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen - 43. Endurance Plate - Mexican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had been super excited for this dope lean-Mexican-cuisine concept, but the burrito was a poor showing. It was 80% rice - meaning it still felt like a cheat meal and it was pretty bland. Maybe other menu-options are better, but I'll be going back to Fuel or Chipotle for more macro balanced meals first. Overall: 3.4 / Food: 3.2 / Service: 4.5 / Space: 3.0 / Value: 4.0 Turkey Chorizo Burrito ($10.95) - turkey chorizo, black beans, pico de gallo, low-fat pepper jack, brown rice & Al Horno Sauce. The burrito comes nicely toasted/grilled pressed and gives the shell a small crunch and structure. But that's where the praises end. The filling was just disappointing. The burrito was 80% rice, making it difficult to find the turkey chorizo flavor, or any of the other flavors for that matter. Even cheap black beans and pico de gallo were few and far between. The over-stuffing of rice caused two issues for me - 1) it took over the flavors of the burrito, making it relatively bland, and 2) it took away the point of the "lean Mexican cuisine". I still felt like I was having a cheat meal with a deluge of unnecessary carbs. In comparison for guilt-free meals, I will likely be heading back to Fuel instead, and maybe even Chipotle for better balanced macros. I may give Al Horno another try since I would love to have more of a repertoire of guilt-free restaurants (most of my restaurant outings are reserved for total macro blow-outs, so having healthy staples is nice). But I will not be getting another burrito. The meal did come with an order of chips & salsa (plus a refill) which was totally unexpected, especially for the price. The tortilla chips were not salty and the salsa had a pretty mild, but sweet, tang which was a pleasant appetizer. Overall, on bang-for-your-buck, you get a lot of food at Al Horno for the prices you pay. My biases: I'm a mid-20s male from NYC with a mean sweet tooth, looking for a full-stomach after any meal, and an appreciation for high-quality food experiences - but only at a value. Taste is always the priority. read more

The Al Horno establishment opened in my neighborhood a few months ago and since that time I have ordered from them three times. I should stress that I dropped in to place the order and waited at an empty table as opposed to dining in since I live right up the street and generally choose them when I want a filling meal while I toil away on website articles. The staff is friendly enough and very courteous. This used to be a Chinese take-out place that I wasn't fond of at all. For that fare I go to either HaHa Chinese or Pearl Of China (Yelped about already by me already for those who are following the submissions). My general preference at a place like this is a burrito and so far I have had a steak, a chicken and a pairing of the two in the grande size. This size comes with an order of sweet potato fries. There are other options to choose from but I cannot recall what they are at this time. I will say that the large size order comes with a bottle of water. It generally runs me about $15 bucks or so depending on what I purchase. I've enjoyed all of them and recommend you ask for the house hot sauce since its nice and spicy. Give them a shot. I think you'll like it. read more

This place is new to the neighborhood on a busy block in Bay Ridge. This place is really good! Fresh and tasty options for all. Not authentic so don't expect that... just tasty with a lot of different ingredients. Juice was refreshing. Only compliant is price... a bit on the expensive side .. but you get what you pay for. Will be here again. read more

Yes!! So happy that a new spot open up in Bay Ridge! Especially, when it's a new mexican restaurant! I recently visited this place and they make so many food. You can get tacos, burritos or a bowl and they make unique smoothies too. I've tried their tacos and it was so tasty! What I lvoe about this place is how they make their dishes healthy and lean hence their name al horno lean. I also love how they make healthy fruit and green smothies. Definitely, a great place to eat a delicious and healthy meal. read more

We were so happy to see this place open up nearby.....and then we tried the food :( Unless you're a health food fan, you should probably steer clear. Five adults, and none of us enjoyed our food. Whole wheat wraps, low-fat (or no) cheese, brown rice. You get the picture. I recommend nearby Ho Brah or Lobo Loco instead. read more

Oh my god!! I've been going to Al Horno since it opened in the city and I am SO happy that it is finally in my neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously the best food when you are looking for something GOOD, healthy and fast! read more

So , me and the wife ordered from This al Horne location, and it was all delicious! Mine was the tilapia burrito, my wife's was the turkey/mango burrito, nearly packaged , chips were really good too, everything is made from scratch, so definitely a good spot, didn't even notice that they use low fat condiments and healthy choices to make the meals delicious. All in all, would definitely order again, very good option for Mexican food, or whatever mood you're in! read more

First things first, this place is sooo clean I sat down to eat with my partner They immediately brought chips out We had chips and guacamole as well and the guacamole was very fresh and full of flavor It was interesting having a burrito on something different than a normal flour tortilla but I dont regret it at all. If I wasn't moving I would come back and bring a couple friends read more

Every single time I order here something is left out. I have never been able to fully enjoy a meal. I only use the al horno website to order and STILL they do not read any of the information on their order tickets. This time they forgot my water, utensils, and napkins though I clearly indicated the need for them on the order (there is a checkbox if you want utensils). I have to ASK for hot sauce in every order and 95% of the time I get no hot sauce. Imagine a Chinese restaurant not providing any soy sauce...it's ridiculous. I have even gone to the restaurant to complain in person 3 times. Never asked for reimbursement or other compensation for their repeated ineptitude. The food is good, but I'm done ordering from here because they make me find my own utensils, napkins, hotsauce, and drinks (alllll of which I order and indicate needing) while on the job. Possibly the worst customer service of any restaurant in the neighborhood. Might as well order from Chipotle. read more
