El Paragua in Espanola, New Mexico is a true example of an “American Dream story.” The restaurant has been serving delicious New Mexican fare to the local community for more than fifty years. With beginnings as a simple roadside stand, El Paragua was started by two very entrepreneurial boys, who were supported by their parents. The restaurant has since become a favorite among local residents, as well as a must-stop dining establishment for tourists traveling through town. This family owned and operated restaurant still retains a “feeling of home” and serves a variety of both unique and well-known dishes.
