Who We Are

Welcome to Alma: A Three-Story Journey Through Mexico

Perched in Downtown Brooklyn, Alma is more than just a restaurant—it’s a vertical exploration of flavor, atmosphere, and architecture. Originally built from the ground up and opened in 2002. Alma has become a neighborhood landmark. Today, Chef Francisco Lopez carries that torch, masterfully blending time-honored Mexican traditions with fresh, innovative additions that celebrate the evolution of the cuisine.

Whether you are looking for a high-energy social scene or a quiet sunset over the skyline, our three unique levels offer a curated experience for every mood:
