Only the best: Why Lito’s Kitchen Uses Locally Sourced Ingredients

By: Leighpicsletters

One of the most remarkable things about Lito’s Kitchen is our commitment to using locally sourced ingredients. From the fresh vegetables to the meat, everything is sourced from nearby farms, producers and local farmers markets.

Locally sourced ingredients means that the food at Lito's Kitchen is fresh, healthy, and sustainable. By sourcing ingredients from nearby producers, Lito's Kitchen ensures that the food is as fresh as possible. It also means that our restaurant supports local farmers and producers, which helps to sustain the local economy. And, because our ingredients don't have to travel far, the carbon footprint of Lito’s Kitchen is significantly reduced, which is beneficial to the environment.

Beyond reducing the carbon footprint, using locally sourced ingredients means that our food is seasonal. We choose ingredients based on what’s available throughout the year.

For example, during the summer at Lito’s Kitchen we love to showcase our signature salads, like the Mixed Greens + Quinoa, Texas Cobb or Chef Salad. In the fall, because customers are looking for heartier options we like to promote our Chicken Pozole Verde and Tomato Basil soups. By using seasonal ingredients, Lito's Kitchen ensures that the food is always fresh and flavorful.

Customers are drawn to Lito’s Kitchen because of the quality and freshness of our food. Since our inception, the goal of Lito’s Kitchen was to make it better. Making our food better starts with one ingredient at a time. It’s our sincerest wish that you taste the difference in the ingredients and appreciate the restaurant's commitment to sustainability.

Lito's Kitchen's use of locally sourced ingredients sets us apart from other eateries. By sourcing our ingredients from nearby producers, we ensure that the food is fresh, healthy, and sustainable.

Breakfast Sandwich

The most important meal of the day, our breakfast sandwich keeps you feeling full and ready to take on the day. Two lightly scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese are served atop our freshly made ciabatta bread. The sandwich is finished with our house-made chipotle aioli. To make your vegetarian friendly breakfast sandwich extra hearty, opt for a few slices of avocado or get extra cheesy and add American cheese.

Smoothies

Who says a smoothie has to be boring? Perfect for getting your greens in for the day, our Pineapple-Kale Smoothie is a yummy balance of tart, earthy and lightly sweet flavors. We combine Greek yogurt, fresh kale, pineapple, honey and chia seeds to make this energizing and delicious beverage. For berry lovers, our Banana-Berry Smoothie is a must try. One of our top sellers, fresh mixed berries, bananas, Greek yogurt and honey combine to create a wonderfully antioxidant rich and refreshing drink.  

Horchata Iced Latte

New to our menu and the perfect pick me up, our Horchata Iced Latte is in a league of its own. Not only is this latte vegan, but it’s also decadently delicious. Our house-made horchata is a combination of cinnamon, vanilla, rice and almonds. Once prepared we add a double shot of espresso. Creamy, and not overly sweet, you won’t be able to get enough of our healthy horchata treat!
