    Pupusas, FANTASTIC
    May L.

    Listen, Alba knows what she's doing back there. The pizza oven wasn't on the day I came but I had a fabulous little (big) lunch. I ordered the turkey club and it came with thick delicious slices of bacon, best bacon I've ever had. The tomato soup paired so well with my sandwich I almost licked the bowl. I also was curious about the pupusas--I LOVE pupusas, so much so that my mom learned how to make them from her Salvadoran friend. That's how much I would beg her for pupusas. I tried one revuelta which was beans, cheese, and pork and one zucchini. Delicious! Of course they both came with curtido (slaw) and salsa. I was burnt out on menus in the area all serving pretty much the same fare. The restaurant looks like a home, very cozy...with seating on one side and a bar on the other. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting. It's far enough away from the crowded touristy area and not a bad walk.

    Perusing restaurant menus in Woodstock, and you notice trends. Same food, or types of food at most places. Kale Caesar seems to be on top of the hit parade; not by popular demand in my book. One thing we did see on Alba's menu, (and nowhere else), was "Pupusa". Caught my wife's eye, so she read up on this place. Fantastic story, and worth the read by the way ! We stopped in on Labor Day, for lunch. It's located down a ways, from the busy part of Tinker Street, and resembles a small home rather than a restaurant. It's small inside, with about 10 tables, but we had no problem getting seated. The lunch menu was ample, and we ordered a bunch of stuff. First off..."Pupusas" Both flavors (See picture for details) Tomato Soup, Pulled Pork Sandwich and Turkey Club. Everything was great. From the Soup, the great bread on The Club, the thick hot bacon that topped my Pulled Pork...But the MVP of lunch; Pupusas. We should have just ordered that {with the Soup} I noticed a huge pizza oven in the back. We'll have to go back when they fire up "Big Red"

    During our visit to Woodstock we chose this restaurant. We immediately liked the atmosphere and the waitress's attitude towards us. We ordered barbecue wings, tomato soup, steak burger and pancakes. Everything was fresh and tasty. We had only positive emotions after visiting this restaurant.

    This place was amazing just enough out of town you can actually park your car and get a table without waiting. There is a tiny pub/ bar area and a far size dining area. The wine was a nice size pour. We were waited on my the owner who could not have been any friendlier, she even shared some trade secrets with us to explain how the shrimp risotto was so deliciously creamy. By far the best I have ever had it came with grilled shrimp. We got the eggplant rotini stuffed with goat cheese and pesto these were so good and as an appetizer it was actually large enough to be a meal. We got a salad which was a very generous portion. The pepperoni pizza was so crispy and cooked perfectly. The! BLT was very good the bacon was just how we liked it crispy . Everyone was very efficient and welcoming

    I came for the avocado toast and woman-owned business. 6 months later, this is my regular go-to. Chicken Soup, Arugula Salad, Salmon. Nothing on the menu dissapoints. A locals lowkey favorite spot, in a house with full parking and a movie theatre next door. How we leave... every.single.time. Get you some!

    Homey vibe on every level (welcoming & personal service, house made everything, in an actual house lol). Located on the west most end of Tinker street, worth the 5 minute walk from the busier part of town (note - plenty of parking in their lot right out front) Reasonable prices and truly delicious food, much of it made in a wood fire oven you can see from your table. We were served by Alba herself, so you know it's real home cooking! As other reviews have mentioned- this is Italian cuisine with some Latin influence options (family is de Guatemala) A tad warm inside on these hotter days, but once you sit the temp balances and you're grateful for not being cold. 10/10!

    While this Guatemalan family isn't Italian, the owner herself, has acquired plenty experience and is now cooking her own version of Italian fare. Not for nothing, I felt a bit reluctant when hubs suggested we try Alba's for a Thursday dinner. And the slight whiff of corn masa smell in the air when we walked in, added more uneasiness and wished their Italian-inspired meals didn't have Latin flavors. Taking over the now closed, Woodstock Pizza Theater on Tinker St in Woodstock, Alba's slid right in. It has a smallish bar off to the left and their dining room on right running straight to the back with their pizza oven as a centerpiece. For now, these folks are serving beer and wine. I decided on a glass of Ruffino Pinot Grigio and hubs did a Guatemalan Famosa beer and said it has the quality of a regular beer. Each of our Caesar and Arugula salads were plentiful and could've been a meal by themselves because they were hefty. Hubs' was mixed well with enough croutons. Anchovies could've taken this simple Caesar to the 10th power. My Arugula had freshly sliced strawberries and fresh pecans and subbed regular balsamic+oil instead of the suggested Dijon dressing. Hubs' pasta primavera was a full meal in a bowl and nicely done with butter, garlic flavor and lots of veggies-then added grilled shrimp to his dish. My eggplant parmigiana was generous on top of linguine. The sauce these folks use is more on the seasony side and one I always tried to run away from as I love an only-tomato sauce sans herbs. It's more out of preference- but my dish was good as it was and the sauce held its own- thank goodness it wasn't runny! Service was pleasant and the dollar amount, fantastic. These folks aren't messing around and, they're somehow catering to the Woodstock energy in their own way.

    We were on on our weekend fall trip at Woodstock and came across Alba's kitchen. It was a great find!! Delicious food, cozy ambiance and the service was great. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

    Pulled pork sandwich with bacon

    The food was excellent and the service was very good at Alba's Kitchen. The ambiance was fine, though it has the feel of a nice diner. It was very crowded when we went as the food is delicious. We ordered the eggplant rollatini, a Ruben and pulled pork sandwich with bacon... all very tasty and piping hot. We would definitely return to this restaurant!

    Homey feel - just the way we like it

    Definitely off the beaten path of downtown Woodstock, but absolutely worth the walk. Perfect black bean soup as a warmup, followed by a delicious huge hamburger My wife had the quesadilla and she completely stopped speaking while she enjoyed it. she couldn't make her up her mind which condiment was better: the pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream - just kept smiling while she finished it. Don't get up to Woodstock that often but next time we do, this looks a lot like our next lunch

    Just had a great breakfast at Alba's. Had the strawberry pancakes. Avocado toast and omelettes looked great too.

    Nana's a little café right on Mill Hill Road in Woodstock, NY and honestly, it kind of has…read more(almost)everything. It's one of those places where you walk in thinking you're just grabbing a tea/coffee and a quick bite and suddenly you're deciding between getting a quinoa bowl, bagel sandwich, oatmeal, salad or falafel. Somehow, they pull off the menu for every eating lifestyle without feeling cramp. It works for everybody. They have your breakfast basics covered: eggs, rolls, wraps, toast or whatever carb you're in the mood for. If you have a sweet tooth, they have pastries, if you're on a 'healthy' kick, they have bowls. I had The Lox Works and it actually lived up to the name. Plenty of salmon, red onions, a sliver of creamy cream cheese how I like it (I skipped the capers, personal choice). The bagel itself was fresh and had that perfect crisp on the outside and a chewy inside. Except, it's little on the doughy side, and the tomato slices were also thick- but still, the sandwich was tasty. Service was great and considering Nana's is literally on the main strip in Woodstock, the prices are surprisingly chill. Just solid food, good vibes and the kind of spot you end up going back to without even meaning to.

    The crazy egg sandwich with sausage was good and service was a delight. Next time I will get a…read morecoffee too. Easy to grab and go or opt for the small ledge w stools to eat and run. Will be back for breakfast burrito.
