A New York Minute With Nestor Leon Fortanel

Mister Welfare

Nestor Leon Fortanel is the owner of El Kallejon, a Mexican fusion restaurant in East Harlem. El Kallejon is exactly what you would expect of its name, except this is New York City and the experience of El Kallejon is anything but traditional. Here, you will enjoy the rich flavors of fresh Mexican ingredients with twists that are reflective of this diverse city. Latin, Mediterranean, Japanese and French culinary influences all shape the menu that their guests love. The wine bar has a special selection of wine and sangrias, and in the warmer months, the backyard becomes the setting for live world music and grilling. https://elkallejonlounge.com/
