ALDAMA RESTAURANT

New York's Mexican restaurants do a brilliant job of showcasing Oaxacan cuisine from the country's South, but Aldama, a new restaurant in South Williamsburg, invites diners to try the flavors of a more unfamiliar region. Chef Gerardo Alcaraz (Black Ant, Martín Berasategui in San Sebastián, Spain) spent his childhood in León, Guanajuato, and his menu takes inspiration from the street foods of Central Mexico. Elevated yet casual, Aldama's culinary offerings are paired with a cocktail program from owner Christopher Reyes (Cosme, Dear Irving, Employees Only) and a vibe that feels more like an easygoing restaurant in Mexico City than one tucked underneath the Williamsburg Bridge... Aldama pays homage to the diversity from Mexico to Brooklyn. Our kitchen builds a connection between the origins.
