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.

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.

Get on Our Side: Our Most Mouthwatering Side Dishes at Lito’s Kitchen

By: Leighpicsletters

It’s no secret that at Lito’s Kitchen our biggest attention grabbers are our sandwiches. However, in the past 7 years of our existence, we’ve also learned the importance of creating unforgettable sides. Sides. Accompaniments. Whatever you want to call them, they enhance the experience of devouring your main dish. Here is our take on the most mouthwatering side dishes at Lito’s Kitchen.

Watermelon + Peach + Feta Salad

Perfect for spring or summer, it’s not a surprise that you may want to order this salad by the boatloads. Fresh cut watermelon and peaches come together with feta cheese, basil and our homemade vinaigrette to create the perfect sweet, creamy, tangy and salty flavors of our Watermelon + Peach + Feta Salad. Stop by Lito’s Kitchen to place your order for your next family barbeque or work potluck. Pro tip: Say that you made it, we promise not to tell.

Roasted Cauliflower

Who says healthy can’t mean scrumptious? Our roasted cauliflower is a crowd pleaser for a reason. Fresh and lightly seasoned, pieces of roasted cauliflower are dressed with our house made romesco sauce, and sprinkled with queso fresca and quinoa. For those looking to make this side keto friendly ask for your roasted cauliflower without quinoa. We promise, it’s still yummy!

Hummus

Whether you’re eating it as a side or a snack, the hummus at Lito’s Kitchen is an appetite appeasing essential. Made in house, it’ rich, tangy, creamy and filling. Our hummus is topped off with sumac to give it an extra pizzazz. Served with your choice of pita bread or fresh veggies it’s the kind of guilt free side you can truly appreciate.

Mac N’ Cheese

An American staple, there are few things more comforting than mac n’ cheese. Lito’s Kitchen truly values our cheese lovers, (because we are the same) so our mac is made with three cheeses. A creamy, dreamy, wonderment, our mac is so good that it can be eaten on its own. It’s also fantastic paired with one of our salads.

Caesar Salad

At Lito’s Kitchen we love a good Caesar salad. Light, yet bouncing with flavor, this salad makes an ideal accompaniment to any of our soups, or sandwiches. We start with fresh Romaine lettuce, then we add parmesan cheese, crunchy garlic croutons and red onions for an extra bite. It’s topped with just the right amount of house-made Caesar dressing. Add this classic to one of your favorite sandwiches at Lito’s Kitchen today!
