Espanola, United States
El Paragua Restaurant
El Paragua Restaurant on Santa Cruz Road has served Northern New Mexico cooking in Española for decades, drawing on the agricultural traditions and chile-growing heritage of the Española Valley. The cooking here is rooted in place in a way that distinguishes it from the broader Southwest restaurant category. For anyone tracing the origins of New Mexican cuisine, Española is a logical starting point, and El Paragua is among its most established addresses.
