Sadie’s Rides Again

by John Weckerle

As we were driving north on Eubank Blvd. in Albuquerque last Friday, my wife happened to glance at a building behind the Owl Cafe just north of I-40, and note that there was a sign we hadn’t seen before.  The sign identified the establishment contained therein as “Sadies.”

We completed the errand we were running, returned and – sure enough – it was a new branch of THE Sadie’s – the New Mexican restaurant that once called a bowling alley home in the North Valley (the main location moved out of the bowling alley into its own stand-alone structure years ago).  Our server informed us that the new location opened up about five weeks ago.  We recommend that they get a bigger sign or one closer to the road, although business certainly seems to be going very well – there was a good line waiting for tables when we left.

Sure enough, it’s the same Sadie’s salsa, margaritas, and vegetarian green chile (they also offer green and red chile prepared with meat).  We both had bean burritos a la carte, which came with sopapillas, and they were just as we remembered them from the main locations.  Most of us need to go to Albuquerque from time to time, and it’s nice to see that there’s another New Mexican food alternative near the highway.

    Good to know. We might be driving back there this Xmas, and I will put this on the “to eat” list.
