Sophia’s for Francisco
May 26th, 2008
An Albuquerquean by birthright, Francisco is currently a resident of the City Different, and so far I’m not holding it against him.
How can I, when he is taking up the torch to demonstrate to his city-dwellers that the Duke City has food worth eating and is not a cesspool of strip malls and freeways? Of course I can’t. He led a group this weekend to experience the comfort and panache of Gold Street Caffe, on the one day of the week they offer Southwestern Eggs Bennie, piquant with jalapenos and tasting of fine butter.
We talked about the great hole in the wall places around Albuquerque, from tacos to burgers and everything in between, plotting to draw all Santa Feans down here for gustatory revelry.
He had not, however, been acquainted with Sophia’s Place, and that is what I present here, in photos as well as previous reviews by both myself and other food writers. Enjoy, my friend!

Now that’s just cruel.
Some people didn’t know any better, leading them to anchor in the CD before witnessing the inarguable superiority of DC. Is it really necessary to taunt said people with this fact? I think not.
I am meeting F for breakfast downtown on Thursday. Can we eat at Sophia’s Place? Can you make it? Good. See you there.

i absolutely love sophia’s place! it is consistently delicious and fresh and superb. it is a hidden treasure in the north valley to be sure. i had my daughter’s (”sophie”) first birthday party there last year–it was phenomenal. dennis (the owner) is genuinely talented. thanks for the review!
