The food was amazing, and the owner was fun and friendly. I told my husband we needed to move here so I could eat at her restaurant every day. We are absolutely going to go back for more on our way home.

The red chili sauce, which is inherently an ingredient in all red Chile related here, was the bomb! I got the stuffed sopaipilla carne adobada and it was excellent. Go here!

You need thick skin for this place but it’s super authentic!

We saw this on Diners Drive Ins and Dives and have been wanting to try it but everything we try it's always closed. This morning we finally tried it and OMG it was real home cooked breakfast and Cecilia was so nice and it felt as if she was our Tia. She was telling other customers how to make tortillas and it felt like home. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Can't wait to try your Tamales.

The red chili is amazing. I hear the fireman burrito is a local favorite but I don't eat eggs. The hash browns pretty good and the coffee is ok. I order the ground beef burrito comes with beans and rice. Prices are about average with other restaurants. Nachos are a good appetizer size for about 3 people, but they put a good amount of meat!

If you're coming here it's for the experience as much as the food. Enjoy!

Went for breakfast. Food wasn’t bad, but also wasn’t great. Owner Cecilia waited on us and she said her chile is always spicy and had them tame it down for us. Was pretty empty on a Thursday morning. Not far from the zoo though!

Amazing food! We went here for breakfast and they did not disappoint. We enjoyed the chicken fried steak (highly recommend), breakfast burrito, and carne adovada breakfast. All were delicious! We will definitely return to try the lunch menu. Hours are different due to covid-19. They are open Monday through Friday from 7 to 1. We highly recommend this establishment.

breakfast is highly recommended by the crowd and I'm looking forward to indulge very soon. Love the decor and energetic vibes. Much love.

Had a wonderful breakfast here today! Got the fireman’s burrito. It comes with chicharrón, carne adovada, sausage and bacon. Xmas style is the way to go. So much flavor in both the red and green chile. You could even taste the flavor in the pinto beans in the burrito. Great, tasty food made with love. We’ll be back!

Great place and super friendly and attentive staff. I had the enchiladas with an egg and shredded beef with Christmas chile sauce. It was delicious.

Tasty and inexpensive homemade New Mexican food. Service was really fast. Unfortunately the coffee was almost flavorless.

Cecilia's Cafe is at the top of my list for local Eats in Albuquerque. Their food is always so delicious. Their red and green chile is nice and hot. It's like going to an abuelita's home. I highly recommend trying Cecilia's.

Great food and LOTS of it but it is a bit pricey. I’ve been a couple times and the wait staff varies in attitude. Most of the time it’s not bad but I have had one that it seemed she would have preferred if I would just leave.
I’ll be back because my taste buds can handle bad attitude! 😂

Some of the best Mexican food in town.

New Mexican done right. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Chile is spicy like it should be. So much culture and history. They are being themselves while maintaining the need for speed for busy downtown workers.
