This is a Colombian-Dominican restaurant that is five stars through and through. From the moment we stepped inside the restaurant, the service was phenomenal. They explained the menu thoughroughly upon request and accommodated any substitution as best they could. We were with our six years old and, understanding that little ones get impatient when hungry, they had the presence of mind to ask if we wanted her food to come out immediately.... most restaurants wait to bring everything together. They prepare the food immediately after it has been ordered, which ensures a freshness and quality seldom matched in other places.

Read moreAleidas Kitchen has blessed us since day one! When we moved to Florida I was afraid I wouldn’t find authentic Dominican food but we have found a true gem. Consistency, good portions & great service are part of Aleidas core. The mofongo is perfect every time. As someone who has eaten mofongo in NYC, NJ, PR & DR, I can honestly say Aleidas mofongo is the best mofongo I’ve ever had period. It’s tasteful, soft & a great portion every time. Whether we order take out or dine in, we always have a pleasant experience. The staff is great. The chef is kind. The chivo is superb! The beans taste homemade as though my mami made them & the arroz con pollo is delicious. Friday specials are extra bonus because the Lomo Saltado is worth the wait. Aleida’s Kitchen is perfect for lunch or dinner. Date night or family. Check...
Read moreAleida’s Kitchen serves a bandeja paisa that’s nothing short of spectacular. The flavors burst from each ingredient—perfectly seasoned beans, tender beef, and savory chorizo all come together to create a dish that is deeply satisfying. The combination of rice, plantains, and avocado offers a beautiful balance of texture and taste. Despite being crafted in a food truck, the flavor is immense, far exceeding what you might expect from such a small space. The friendly service makes the experience even more memorable, with making you feel like part of the family from the moment you order. It’s the kind of meal that stays with you long after it’s over—a true masterpiece of Colombian/Dominican cuisine.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable...
