about half a mile north of its interchange with I-40, savvy diners will find and frequent them both. Though both restaurants are recessed by only one block from the heavily trafficked San Mateo Blvd. Thankfully, four months later (July 16, 2019), the Red Rock Deli reopened its doors in the strip mall time that’s also home to the Southwest Savories Cafe. From the outside, it wasn’t the most attractive restaurant in town (some would even call it an eyesore) but to aficionados of Polish and European comestibles, it was a perfect Bo Derek “10.” When patrons happened upon a crude “Closed” sign on the door in March, 2019, we worried about where we might sate our next pierogi fix. One such restaurant is the Red Rock Deli which opened its doors in October, 2014 in a timeworn shopping center on Lomas just west of Tramway. Although several of the city’s ethnic restaurants are clustered throughout the International District, many others are strewn throughout the metropolitan area where they’ve integrated into the fabric of neighborhoods which may or may not have an ethnic population base. Obviously Albuquerque doesn’t have the population to support a “Chinatown” or a “Little Poland,” but the Duke City does offer multicultural dining diversity. Comestibles Galore In Addition to an Outstanding Restaurant Every Labor Day weekend Chicago celebrates its Polish heritage at the Taste of Polonia festival where Polish cuisine and culture are showcased. They offer everything from pierogies to kielbasa. Storefronts and restaurants in “Little Poland” on Chicago’s far Northwest side are bedecked in the white and red flag of Poland. One such example is the city of Chicago which boasts of the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw (as many as 183,000 by some estimates) in the world.
Most of these neighborhoods welcome culinary tourism–the opportunity to showcase the cuisine of their homelands. Cities such as Chicago have long realized that these ethnic enclaves offer a treasure trove of cultural and culinary experiences.
Another yummy sandwich is “Bob’s Bagel, made with regular cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado and bacon.Red Rock Deli on San Mateo Just South of MenialĪmerica may be a multicultural melting pot, but thriving within its most populous metropolises are ethnic neighborhoods–pockets of diversity residing in two worlds, retaining many of the cultural and culinary traditions of their motherland while integrating into and pursuing the American dream. Or, if you prefer something less spicy there’s “Meg’s Vegie” made with eggs, cheese, homemade vegie cream cheese and vegies.
The breakfast menu includes bagel sandwiches such as the popular “Howard’s Special” made with egg, spicy sausage, jalapeno cream cheese, pepper-jack cheese and siracha. “We also have really good fresh-squeezed orange juice,” as well as Naked brand juices to-go, general manager Megan Moore said. Red Rock’s coffee is brewed with organic, fair-trade beans roasted daily from Fresh Moab Coffee. Perfect timing for picking up a meal or snack before setting out on an early morning hike, or a good cup of coffee on your way to work. In the wee hours of the morning bakers are busy at Red Rock Bakery and Café, setting loaves of bread dough to rise hand rolling bagels to bake in-house and making cinnamon rolls and fruit scones from scratch – all to be ready by opening time at 6:30 a.m.
