Quirky, fun place downtown. I had ground beef enchiladas. Rice and beans were good, beef had no flavor.

I used to frequent Cecelia's when I lived downtown. This is in fact the 5th time in a row I've driven by, during hours that both Google and Yelp claim it's supposed to be open, and it's closed. I've called, no answer. Is this restaurant still open? Does anyone care?

Food was fantastic. I love the beans and I usually only like refried beans their beans were fantastic and everything was good. I love the food ...I'll be going back.

Legit chile, great service, fast and delicious breakfast burritos.
If you have not enjoyed Cecilia’s Cafe in a while the Chili is hot and the food is awesome!

The best meal in all of Albuquerque. I fell in love with New Mexican food eating here 10 years ago and visit every time I am in town. The green chile is
Called in a breakfast burrito to go, they said come right away and it'll be ready. Even with the time for me to walk over, pick up my breakfast, and walk back to my office, the well wrapped burrito stayed warm! I ordered it with red chile, which was good and earthy-roasty, but not spicy at all. Other reviews mention spice, but I wonder if you have to get something smothered in order to have it really be hot. Between the tortilla, egg, and potatoes, it wasn't spicy and was a tad dry, but still pretty yummy. I also appreciated that it wasn't a massive portion - that's not what I'm looking for in a handheld to-go burrito! I would go back again if I needed breakfast by my office easily, but next time I'd try it with green chile, and I might ask if they will add cheese. Service to pay was quick and efficient; they only take cards (no cash). The place was empty, which seemed a bit sad, as it's something of a downtown institution. Hopefully they hang in there.

Just had lunch at Cecelia's. One of our favorite restaurants. We live in Colorado and cannot find N Mexican cooking like this up there. We always try to stop and see Cecelia when passing through NM. We also like the Shed and Pasquale's in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, a favorite breakfast spot in SF called Tecolote closed due to Covid. Cecelia persevered through despite being virtually closed for 3 years during that crisis. Thank God. Her food is as good as always and everyone there is so nice. Like family.

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

Man it’s really hard for me to write this review. I use to love this place. As of late it’s not up to the standards it use to be.
