Cecilia's Cafe - Albuquerque, NM

Cecilias is a cool little diner in downtown Albuqureque, New mexico. It's got a cool atmosphere. It is in a very old typical new mexico style building with lots of exposed brick and rough wood beams. I think that the only heat was from a wood stove in the middle of the serving area which wasn't lit on this January day, I might add. I had to put my coat back on to stay warm. I suppose this qualified as a dive.

The lunch menu showed that Guy ate a double patty bacon burger when he was here. That was a little too much for me so, I just went for one of their burritos for lunch.

Service very friendly and fast. The table they put me at first was a little dirty but, she fixed that quickly. I had asked for a slice of lemon for my water. It sure looked and tasted like orange slices.

Parking limited. Downtown area. Bring change for parking meter.

The burrito was really good. It was chicken with just the right amount of chorizo spice in a bath of the New Mexico green chile sauce. This is what you are looking for with a triple-D restaurant.

I would rate Cecilia's a 9.1. Great points for food, good points for atmosphere, slightly negative points for cleanliness. I would still go back.
