Cecili's is not just known for their 10lb burrito. This is one of Albuquerques staple for a breakfast chile fix. Green chile chicken stew for a hang over or to just clear your sinuses. One of their signature chicharrones breakfast burrito, or the chicken fried steak and eggs with a side of red (only available on the weekends). Huevos rancheros with the pork. Flavorful, cheesy, and messy, but it is spicy.

Parking is available in the back, but occasionally it can flood a bit, so be careful when it does. Additional park is available on the street, but you may need to walk a bit. Be prepared to wait. It gets very crowded on the weekends and there is no place to sit while waiting.

Last warning: The green and red chile is very spicy!
