The title says it all. I couldn't help but see a google or TA review about the hype, etc, blah blah blah. I am just stoked there is a 17 year old NM Cafe serving it up Red or Green walking distance from the Hotel Blue and our night of debauchery at my least favorite local venue to see Testament, Sepultura & Prong. I think I will hit this place each and every hung over morning when downtown and not ready for hipster/hypsters and driving to eat. Cheers!

I thought the food here was OK. Very average. They seem to be basking in reviews from famous people that probably stopped here once to be cool. Again, it's OK if you're in the area, but I would not go out of my way to eat here. Service also pretty slow.

After arriving in Albuquerque from LA, I usually drive to Old Town for a bite before heading up to Santa Fe. But the traffic on Central was horrible so I checked out the rental car's brochure on places to eat in downtown. Glad I checked because that brought me to Cecilia's. Clean & small, I got in just before their 2pm closing time. Enchilada plate with "Christmas" chili was delicious. Service was great & even got to meet Cecilia. When I mentioned the brochure they gave me hot sopapillas on the house. So nice! So delicious! I'll be back next time I visit New Mexico.

I have been to Cecilia's multiple times and it is great every time. The atmosphere is very homey, the wait staff is very authentic New Mexican, I feel like they are my aunties or cousins, lol! Have tried both breakfast and lunch, both are great! Parking is on the street so make sure to have change for the meters.

A fun, old-time looking place with a nice owner. Mostly New Mexican style. In late morning on a weekday it was not crowded at all - I'm guessing it's more crowded at lunch.
