Ale’s Cafe & Bakery for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hypocrisy thy name is Gil. “For someone who whined so much about a one-hour <\/em>(each way) commute to work, you’re willing to drive a hundred miles for lunch<\/em>” my Kim lamented.\u00a0 Our lunch destination wasn’t nearly a hundred miles away, but when you’re hungry it probably seems that way.\u00a0 It would have seemed even further had we traversed the entirety of the street in which our intended restaurant is located. In fact, from its starting point to its terminus, that drive would truly have seemed interminable through all its winding and congested permutations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The street of which I speak is Albuquerque’s own Coors Blvd, otherwise known as New Mexico State Road 45.\u00a0 According to Wikipedia, Coors Blvd is 22,918-miles long…er, make that 22.9-miles long though it does seem painfully longer than that (especially when you’re hungry).\u00a0 Coors meanders parallel to the Rio Grande from the Southern boundary of Rio Rancho through Albuquerque and onto Isleta Pueblo.\u00a0 It takes significantly longer to drive this route than it took the Mexican conquistadores to walk the Camino Real.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Two Spacious Dining Rooms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thank goodness for I-25 and Rio Bravo Blvd which shortened the length of our drive.\u00a0 As we wended our way south on Coors, my Kim asked if Coors had been named for the famous Colorado family which has been brewing beer from pure mountain spring water. \u00a0Having read Elaine Brise\u00f1o’s magnificent piece<\/strong><\/a> in the Albuquerque Journal, I gave her more information about the street’s name than she wanted, a Cliff Clavin tendency of mine. \u00a0It probably made the drive seem even further. \u00a0Oh, and the street is not named for the Coors brewing family.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

After only about 45-minutes, we arrived at the nondescript shopping center home of Ale’s Cakes. \u00a0Two separate signs hang over the restaurant’s frontage. \u00a0One reads “Ale’s Cake & Bakery,” the other “Cafe & Restaurant.” \u00a0 Most online references to the restaurant list it as “Ale’s Cakes.” \u00a0By the time we arrived, the only pastries remaining in the display case were a handful of cupcakes though a placard hung on one wall listing pastel tres leches. \u00a0Neither Yelp<\/strong><\/a> nor any other crowd-sourced review sites seem to indicate cakes (other than cupcakes and pancakes) are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Salsa and Chips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Naturally one of the very first questions we asked was about the curious name “Ale’s Cakes.” \u00a0Surely, the name has nothing to do with “Ale” as in “a type of beer with a bitter flavor and higher alcoholic content<\/em>.” \u00a0Our server clarified that “Ale” is actually short for Alejandra, the name of one of the owners. \u00a0So, adult beverages do not factor into any of the menu items. \u00a0Instead, the menu is a pantheon of breakfast, lunch and dinner items; smoothies; milk shakes; coffee; cold coffee and more. \u00a0The breakfast menu lists American, Mexican and New Mexican favorites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly the lunch and dinner menu offers a multicultural melange that includes Mexican-style burgers and sandwiches. \u00a0A taco plate (two shrimp tacos, two asada tacos and two pastor tacos) did not inspire comparisons between the\u00a0diversity of the Latin American people and the uniqueness of breakfast tacos<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0It did give us another tempting option to consider ordering. \u00a0Though the menu listed Sonoran hot dogs as well as Hawaiian hot dogs, the restaurant had run out of buns. \u00a0Few things in life are as enjoyable as a Sonoran hot dog made well so our journey was made just a little less pleasant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Juarez Style Burger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chips and salsa<\/strong><\/em> somewhat made up for that. \u00a0The chips aren’t your out-of-a-bag variety. \u00a0These are deep-fried, double-thick tortillas and they’re low-in-salt. \u00a0Our server proclaimed the salsa “may picante” and in briefly submerging the very tip of one chip into the incendiary green salsa, my Kim agreed. \u00a0Only your fire-eating blogger begged to differ, but then I would consider hemlock salsa innocuous. \u00a0It has a very tasty flavor and nice consistency, but could use more piquancy. \u00a0My Kim tells me my descriptions of salsa should always include a caveat indicating I should never give advice on “mild” salsa because I’m the devil’s spawn when it comes to hot foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years it hasn’t been birria or even huitlacoche that has ensnared my affections among the many trendy Mexican foods that have captured the American fancy. \u00a0It’s been Mexican style hamburgers. \u00a0Ale’s Cakes offers three of them. \u00a0Our server raved about the Hamborguesa Estilo Juarez<\/strong><\/em> (Juarez-style burger), a Mexican-style burger with ham, weenie, Cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, lettuce, avocado, and tomato with a side of fries. \u00a0 As with most Mexican burgers, the patty isn’t a fried or grilled pre-formed, previously frozen hockey puck. It\u2019s immediately obvious that this beef patty is hand-formed, probably a combination of ground beef with breadcrumbs and egg. \u00a0This keeps the burgers juicy and absolutely delicious. \u00a0Not everyone will like weenies and ham on their burgers–until they try them. \u00a0Seriously, this burger is worth traversing the entirety of Coors Blvd. \u00a0So are the fries, hand-cut beauties just out of the fryer. \u00a0They’re golden brown and salted to perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Breakfast Sandwich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Though none of the Mexican and New Mexican food is prepared with cumin, my Kim opted for a breakfast sandwich<\/strong><\/em> (egg sandwich with ham, bacon, cheddar cheese, and Cheddar cheese. Includes yogurt with granola, bowl of fruit or french fries.) \u00a0She immediately raved about the buttered bread, basically white bread toasted very well and maybe lightly dipped in an egg batter. \u00a0Maybe. \u00a0Our server wouldn’t disclose its delicious secrets. \u00a0The porcine pairing of bacon and ham, while a bit salty, made for an eye-opening and very tasty breakfast protein pair. \u00a0My Kim had both the granola and a bowl of fruit, both of which were fresh and delicious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because pastel tres leches was not available, we both had cupcakes–my Kim a red velvet cupcake<\/strong><\/em> and me a chocolate cupcake<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Both were obviously homemade and very fresh with a buttercream frosting on top. \u00a0A raspberry swirl decorated the plate. \u00a0While coffee makes it possible to get out of bed, cupcakes make it worthwhile. \u00a0These cupcakes alone made our trip worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Chocolate and Red Velvet Cupcakes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ale’s Cakes may be a bit of a misnomer, but if you find yourself on South Coors, there are few options as delicious as this restaurant slash cafe slash pastry shop. \u00a0Cupcakes and Mexican-style burgers are reason enough to visit.<\/span><\/p>\n
