Rapid Growth of Healthy Mexican Cuisine in NYC with the Opening of Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen's Second Location in Midtown

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Following just months after the April opening of their Hell's Kitchen restaurant, the new Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen location is in Midtown East at 1089 2nd Avenue. Rich in traditional Mexican flavors, this first of its kind restaurant fuses traditional favorites into a guilt-free, inspired and healthy package.

"Al Horno" means "oven baked" in Spanish and Al Horno Lean Mexican Kitchen lives up to its name by focusing on cooking traditional Mexican, but with a healthy twist. This Manhattan restaurant's cutting-edge approach includes no frying, no oil, a gluten free approach, reduced fat cheeses, antibiotic and hormone free chicken and grass fed steak, and homemade turkey chorizo. This healthy, fresh and vibrant focus is accentuated by the inclusion of an innovative juice bar and colorful custom artwork.

The menu also focuses on providing guests with extremely tasty options they won't find elsewhere, such as the Mega Green Quesadillas made with kale, spinach, cactus, jalapenos and a custom low-fat cheese blend. The unique options include Cactus Tortas and fresh juice options such as Mexican Remedy, which features a blend of carrots, green apple, turmeric, lemon, cucumber and cayenne. Other menu highlights include Vegetarian Burritos, unique Energy Tacos, salads, healthy breakfast items and desserts.

Customer reactions have been extremely enthusiastic. On the restaurant's Yelp Page, reviews include, "Love this place! Everything is delicious and prepared healthy. No greasy messy-ness…" Another glowing comment noted, "Who doesn't like Mexican food? And now you can eat it all without all the guilt, because it is cooked healthy."
