For those of you who take Paseo del
Norte/I-25 regularly, you’re probably all too familiar with the detours and
disruption as of late. But although it might make you late getting home from
time to time, believe it or not, there are some positives coming out of all
these changes!
Last week, KOB4 featured a story about how the detours
are actually improving business for Vic’s Daily Café on Osuna. “We’ve had a few
that have gotten caught in traffic and they’ll look over and see our sign and,
and they’ll stop,” said Victor Pandazis, owner of Vic’s.
Vic’s is known for its nostalgic
homestyle decor, the chicken fried steak, and its expansive breakfast menu. You
can read some reviews from locals about their food over at UrbanSpoon.com, such as this one from
NM Gastronome:
Similar
to other popular breakfast destinations in town (Milton’s, Lindy’s and the
Western View Diner come to mind), Vic’s embraces its Greek heritage. Commemorative plates and framed posters
from Greece adorn the restaurant’s stark walls while the menu is festooned with
Greek favorites. Who wouldn’t love
breakfast if you had your choice of Greek, New Mexican or American fare, all of
it good?
If
you show up for breakfast craving something Greek, choices abound. Whether for
breakfast or lunch, envious eyes will trail the wait staff as they deliver a
platter of Greek appetizers to your table. Nestled on a bed of crispy leaf lettuce are stuffed grape
leaves, hunks of feta cheese, lip-puckering pepperonici, plumb and juicy
Kalamata olives, fresh cucumbers and thinly sliced tomatoes, all drizzled with
olive oil. Wedges of warm pita
bread on a plate complete this luscious starter.
Located along one of the popular
alternate routes along Paseo Del Norte/I-25, Vic’s is located at:
3600 Osuna Rd NE #105, Albuquerque,
NM 87109
(505) 341-9710
So although the construction is
certainly inconvenient, think of it as an opportunity to get to know some local
businesses that would otherwise go unnoticed.
