Celilia's Cafe Description:
When Albuquerqueans wage the great green chile (or red chile, or carne adovada, or homemade tortilla) debate, they reserve their loudest shout-outs for decades-old institutions---with one exception: Cecilia's, open only since 1999. Housed in an old adobe on the west side of downtown, the tiny dining room is cluttered with tchotchkes and crammed with customers chowing down on all the local classics---from huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos in the morning to homemade tamales and some of the city's best chiles rellenos, pure and simple, over red chile that virtually glows. Service is cursory, but then, the prices don't warrant kid gloves.
