Alba's Kitchen

"As a local there is nothing more exciting than another local opening up a restaurant in town. I was even more excited to find out that this person was the same person who would sometimes sell her famous “con pollo” el salvadorian sandwiches (chicken that has been soaked in a special broth topped with fresh watercress, cucumbers, radishes, and cilantro in a sub sandwich bread). Lucky local behind-the-scenes worker bees in town were the only ones who got a chance to buy them. Fingers crossed that there will be a revival of the indulgent, messy sandwich. The first time I ordered from Alba’s I had a steak quesadilla to-go. The steak tasted fresh, seasoned and was gone before I could take a picture. I’ve heard the Buffalo cauliflower wings are fantastic. I’m happy to see an effort to have a few vegan options—I almost got the avocado toast when I ordered my breakfast today. My hot chocolate was enormous, a good temperature, and didn’t taste like swiss miss mix but still tasted familiar and comforting. I ordered the eggs Benedict which is my favorite breakfast dish. I was very impressed! I will try everything on the menu but I will definitely order the Eggs Benedict again. The sauce was the best I’ve had in a long time. The home fries were perfect! They were soft but not mealy and still a little crunchy. I tasted the hollandaise sauce just by itself and wasn’t surprised to discover that she makes hollandaise sauce of her own recipe. I’m not sure what she added to it, probably more paprika and lemon than usual. The Hollandaise was delicious and I appreciated Alba’s effort to bring a unique and additional flavor to the sauce. Best of all…I got A LOT of sauce! Most of the time I feel like I’m being cheated of my hollandaise sauce but not this time! I definitely got my moneys worth. The staff were very nice and attentive and answered any questions I had. They also made great recommendations like the hot chocolate. I’m making Alba’s my go-to restaurant in town for all occasions. I hope Alba feels supported enough to expand to fusion dishes and explore new recipes since she has all the talent to pull anything off! Congratulations Alba! A+++"

"The best food in Woodstock. Great selection and good price point. The people working there are super kind and give great service. Can’t wait to go back. The Ruben is the best I have had and I have tried a lot in this area."

"Amazing food and service. This will be a staple in our town. Great prices for locals and lots of options. If you have not tried it, I highly encourage you too!"

"We are so glad that Alba has been able to make this dream come true. We stopped in for breakfast and we will be looking forward to stopping by again to try out lunch."
