At La Cocina, our dishes use Native New Mexican ingredients and spices. Proudly serving Northern New Mexico for 46 years! What's important to know about La Cocina is that it is singularly a "Northern New Mexican" restaurant. Our food is unique, and differs slightly from its cousins, "Mexican" food or "Tex-Mex."  Northern New Mexican cuisine uses a combination of Mexican and Native American ingredients and spices. Us Northern locals take pride in our rich traditions and family recipes that have been handed down for generations. Many find our recipes different from what is known at typical "Mexican" restaurants, but that's ok!  We love our food and traditions, and we know you will, too.

Many of our guests have come to know La Cocina for its traditional Northern New Mexican food. But did you know we can also bring it to your home, office or event location? We even offer in-house banquet facilities and party space.

We’d like to thank you for visiting La Cocina and, invite you to join us again! This is our home and our kitchen. Without you, there's no reason to keep on cookin'.
