Flying Star Cafe

Frommer's Review

The Flying Star Cafe makes good on its promise of uptown food with down-home ingredients. It's a hip and urban restaurant with excellent contemporary international food. But beware: During mealtime, the university location on Central Avenue gets packed and rowdy. The selections range broadly, from 16 different breakfast options to homemade soups and salads to sandwiches and pasta (and pizza at the Juan Tabo and Rio Grande locations). Try the Rancher's melt (New Zealand sirloin sautéed with green chile, provolone, and horseradish on sourdough) or the Buddha's bowl (sautéed vegetables in ginger sauce with tofu over jasmine rice). Flying Star also has locations at 4501 Juan Tabo Blvd. NE (tel. 505/275-8311); 8001 Menaul Blvd. NE (tel. 505/293-6911); and 4026 Rio Grande Blvd. NW (tel. 505/344-6714). They don't serve alcohol, but they do brew up plenty of espresso and cappuccino. Though hours vary for each location, they are all open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
