Aldama Menu Overview
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Brooklyn, Aldama presents a contemporary, upscale twist on Mexican classics that captivates food lovers seeking authentic, richly flavored dishes. This intimate venue combines a cozy ambiance with a carefully curated menu inspired by Central Mexican cuisine, perfect for diners who appreciate refined yet approachable flavors.
Starters to Tempt Your Palate
Start your culinary journey with Aldama's vibrant guacamole, made from creamy avocado puree topped with a bold salsa macha and fresh pico de gallo, served alongside crisp heirloom corn tostadas. For a light yet flavorful option, the Daikon Tostada features tangy pickled daikon and carrots, avocado, and raw tomato salsa on a crunchy base. Seafood lovers will delight in the Artic Char Tostada, which pairs tender Arctic char with spicy sesame sauce, ikura, dry chili oil, and cilantro macho for a complex burst of flavors. Don't miss the exquisite Tamal, crafted from heirloom corn dough and filled with a comforting purslane and potato stew, accented by green sorrel and topped with Ossetra caviar for a luxurious touch.
Mains that Showcase Mexican Excellence
Aldama’s mains spotlight thoughtful combinations of premium ingredients and traditional Mexican cooking techniques. The Taco de Trompo layers savory pork belly and flank steak seasoned with adobo, balanced by pineapple and serrano gel on a house-made heirloom corn tortilla. For a decadent experience, try the Volcán—a mouthwatering creation with Wagyu brisket, crispy tortilla, Chihuahua cheese, and roasted tomatillo salsa that melds rich textures with vibrant zest. The Pulpo Zarandeado offers grilled marinated octopus paired with serrano ashes aioli and pickled onion, delivering a smoky and tangy seafood delight. Vegetarians will enjoy the Pipián, featuring a luscious macadamia and peanut sauce accented with parmigiano and verdolagas, a true celebration of nutty and herbaceous flavors. Seafood aficionados can indulge in the Róbalo Frito, a perfectly fried striped bass dressed with chilhuacle and garlic oil, accompanied by pickled fennel that adds a refreshing contrast. For those craving steak, the Asado impresses with a 26-ounce rib eye served alongside confit potatoes and charred pearl onions with demi-glace, embodying hearty sophistication.
Delectable Desserts and Drinks
Complement your meal with Aldama’s artfully crafted cocktails, including standout margaritas and mezcal-based creations that perfectly marry spirit and spice. Their well-rounded drinks menu also features a selection of fine wines and beers, ideal for pairing with any dish. After savoring your main course, indulge in their range of desserts that offer sweet, memorable finales to your dining experience.
