Breki Breki – Not Just Breakfast on Comanche Just West of Wyoming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brekki Brekki–To those of us who were around in the mid 70s, those two words might dredge up recollections of the citizens band (CB) radio vernacular.\u00a0 Maybe even the Chuck Norris movie “Breaker!\u00a0 Breaker<\/strong><\/a>!” with its perfunctory butt-kicking.\u00a0 Though I pride myself on having a sesquipedalian vocabulary, I had never heard the term “brekki” used\u00a0 as slang for breakfast” until watching the Irish television series “Jack Taylor<\/strong><\/a>.”\u00a0 My research revealed “brekki” is not an Irish term for breakfast, but is in Iceland.\u00a0 Yes, Iceland.\u00a0 Jack Taylor’s backstory didn’t involve a stint in Iceland.\u00a0 So, where did the Irish detective pick up the term.\u00a0 Closer to home, why would a Duke City restaurant specializing in breakfast name itself “Brekki Brekki?”<\/p>\n

Paula, our delightful server didn’t know. She believes the term is Italian for breakfast, but verifiable evidence doesn’t seem to exist on the omniscient internet.\u00a0 It’s conceivable the restaurant’s name is meant as a mnemonic, a word pattern designed to help people remember it.\u00a0 At the very least, it’s a cutesy term.\u00a0 Owner Robert Punya, who also founded and owns Poki Poki Cevicheria<\/strong><\/a> seems to like duplicated names.\u00a0 If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Robert, you’re undoubtedly acquainted with his restaurant empire.\u00a0 In addition to owning Poki Poki Cevicheria, he owns The Sweet Cup (scratch-made desserts, boba tea and espresso) and is the operations manager of Sushi King and Thai Boran<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Robert’s mother Kathy Punya has launched several successful restaurant concepts throughout Albuquerque over the past two decades.<\/p>\n

Whatever the reason for the name “Brekki Brkeki,”\u00a0 both the name and the concept seems to be working.\u00a0 Our inaugural visit took place on a Saturday at just past 2PM.\u00a0 Both the parking lot and the restaurant were near capacity and so was the expansive patio during an uncharacteristically warm October day.\u00a0 Brekki Brekki is not especially commodious, but such is the cacophanous din that only at a Lobos basketball game is the atmosphere comparable.\u00a0 This is not a restaurant in which normal conversational tones are possible.\u00a0 Okay, maybe I’m just showing my advanced geriatric progression.\u00a0 It’s only loud if you’re old and cranky.\u00a0 Brekki Brekki is a place where you’re practically guaranteed to have fun while enjoying a very good breakfast or lunch.\u00a0 You’ll be well served by a very friendly, energetic (and very attractive) staff.<\/p>\n

Contrary to its name, Brekki Brkeki’s motto is “This ain’t just breakfast<\/em>.”\u00a0 The menu elaborates: “Nestled in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights with a stunning garden patio, Brekki Brekki is the perfect spot to start your day or relax with friends. We offer a cozy blend of breakfast joint and lively bar, ideal for any occasion. Enjoy a light brunch, a hearty meal, or a refreshing drink, including locally brewed beer and cider from Cantina Craftworks. Discover why Brekki Brekki is fast becoming Albuquerque’s favorite brunch spot. Visit us today and elevate your breakfast experience<\/em>!”<\/p>\n

\"\"
Pork Belly Benny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brekki Brekki offers a comprehensive menu of breakfast, brunch and any-time-of-day favorites.\u00a0 A lucky thirteen categories of items is a delight to peruse: sandwiches, burgers, flat breads,\u00a0 salads, hash, French toast, crepe, waffles, kids, sides, benny, traditional and biscuits.\u00a0 Only the “sides” and “traditional” categories list more than five items.\u00a0 A handful of New Mexican breakfast favorites is also available: green chile cheeseburger, breakfast burrito, brekki chilaquiles, vegan burrito and pozole are available for those of us who like to start the day off with chile.<\/p>\n

26 October 2024<\/strong>:\u00a0 In addition to studying the menu and asking Paula for her recommendations (most of which she deemed “awesome,” we asked a young and in-love couple on an adjacent table what they enjoyed most at Breki Breki.\u00a0 Unlike some Generation Alpha youth, they didn’t look at us like we have the “cooties<\/em>.” Nor were they so immersed in their smart phones that they didn’t even converse with one another.\u00a0 It made us hopeful for America’s future.\u00a0 After we chatted them up, we ordered biscuits with butter<\/strong><\/em> and Brekki Brekki’s signature jam, a composite of various berries.\u00a0 The biscuits were neither fluffy nor tall.\u00a0 In fact, they were rather reminiscent of English muffins, both in texture and in flavor.\u00a0 Not that we cared that much.\u00a0 Once slathered with butter and jam, they were quite good.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cinnamon Crepe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

26 October 2024<\/strong>: Taking my cue from the young lady at the adjacent table, I ordered the pork belly benny from the “Benny” section of the menu.\u00a0 As you’ve undoubtedly deduced, “benny” is a hypocorism, \u00a0a shortened form of a word or name for “Eggs Benedict.”\u00a0 \u00a0There are four bennys on the menu: traditional (eggs benedict with poached eggs, pecan wood ham, and hollandaise on an English muffin. Served with pickled kale salad and smash potatoes), crab (chorizo remoulade, celery twist, and old bay), brisket (12 hour smoked brisket) and pork belly.\u00a0 The pork belly benny<\/strong><\/em> featured two open-face biscuits, each topped with crispy, fatty pork belly (though not quite enough of it) and a poached egg dusted with mild red chile.\u00a0 The biscuits are slathered with a red pepper glaze which imparts sweet notes and very little (if any) heat.\u00a0 Also on the plate was a pile of skin-on roasted potatoes\u00a0 and a small kale salad.\u00a0 Save for a penurious portion of pork belly, the pork belly benny was a hit.<\/p>\n

26 October 2024<\/strong>: My sweet-toothed bride also struck gold with her order, a cinnamon crepe filled with caramel, slathered with caramel and with a side of caramel.\u00a0 Two picture-perfect golden crepes topped with whipped cream and a cinnamon breakfast cereal (which Jerry Seinfeld could probably name) looked almost too good to eat.\u00a0 My Kim could manage only one of the two crepes (with a tiny assist from her husband), but the crepe showed itself just as good the following day.\u00a0 There are four crepes on the menu, all sweet.\u00a0 If they’re all as rich and delicious as the cinnamon crepe<\/strong><\/em>, Brekki Brekki may make crepes competitive with New Mexico’s sacrosanct breakfast burrito.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Huevos Rancheros<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

14 April 2025<\/strong>:\u00a0 Eight items adorn the “Traditional” section of the menu.\u00a0 Appropriately most are items New Mexicans would consider traditional breakfast fare: breakfast burrito, vegan burrito, huevos rancheros<\/em><\/strong> and brekki chilaquiles.\u00a0 The huevos rancheros (corn tortillas, ranchero beans and corn, 3 eggs, tomato jam, and choice of red or green chile. Served with a side of smashed potatoes) might not be exactly as you may have had them before, but you certainly won’t send them back.\u00a0 As is my usual modus operandi, I asked whether cumin was used in the preparation of the red or green chile.\u00a0 My disappointment was probably palpable when our server told us the kitchen was unable to determine if the red chile included cumin because it wasn’t stated on the packaging.\u00a0 Packaging?\u00a0 The green chile did not have cumin though the chorizo may have had.\u00a0 Among my favorite components of this dish were the cherry tomatoes and pickled onions, essentially two sides.<\/p>\n

14 April 2025<\/strong>:\u00a0 My friend Linda Johansen, with whom I had breakfast, ordered the protein hash<\/strong><\/em> (choice of: bacon, sausage, pork belly or brisket) with bacon.\u00a0 Bacon was definitely not a token protein.\u00a0 There was plenty of it.\u00a0 Best of all, it was neither overly crisp nor floppy.\u00a0 \u00a0Linda also asked for sides of red and green chile as well as the sausage gravy.\u00a0 Not finding them to her liking, she enjoyed the hash sans sauce.\u00a0 The skillet in which the hash was served retained heat very well meaning her food didn’t cool down during our two hours of catching up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
