text: Today was our first time at Cafe Casera and everyone was very friendly and welcoming I think there is a lot of potential but there are a few things to iron outnnWe really like supporting mom pop type restaurants and have been to Albuquerque on many occasions so we are very familiar with New Mexican cuisinennWe started off with chips salsa which had good flavor but was a bit on the mild side for us for chips salsa is a bit on the steep side as well considering the vast majority of restaurants offer them complimentarynnWe had the CC Sizzle sopapilla which was a little disappointing The sopapilla was very dense and a lot more like Navajo fry bread than a light fluffy and airy pillow of love that we have come to expect from a good sopapilla Also I was expecting a stuffed sopapilla rather than it being folded taco style with very little meatnnThe CC Sizzle meat was quite good and we really liked the flavors However for I think it was really lacking in the quantity department and was pretty skinny for my liking Look at my pictures there is a little bit of meat below all that cabbage We had them add Hatch green chiles add and would have liked a few more of those as well The rice beans were pretty standard fairnnWorth going to Yes but I definitely think there is some room for improvement
