Don Chido Latin Kitchen & Cocktails

DON ISN'T JUST A

name

Chef Abner Alva

Founder & Head Chef

IT'S A TITLE OF RESPECT.


For someone who has put in the work and earned their place.

And “Chido” means cool, bold, unforgettable — a word full of culture, flavor, and swagger. Don Chido is more than a restaurant. It’s a tribute to Latin soul, hard work, and corazón. It’s proof that coming from humble beginnings doesn’t limit your future — it fuels it.

Founded by Chef Abner Alva, Don Chido was born from years of dedication, experience, and a vision that started long before these doors opened. What began as a food truck evolved into a commitment — to elevate Latin flavors, honor heritage, and create a space Williamsburg can call its own.

 

Welcome to Don Chido — where every plate has a story, and every guest is family.
