Using native New Mexican spices and ingredients, La Cocina Restaurant has been proudly serving the northern New Mexico region for over forty-five year. Opened by Jessie and Eddie Martinez, the locally owned and operated restaurant refers to itself as a “singularly Northern New Mexican restaurant,” serving food that’s slightly different from “Tex-Mex” or “Mexican” food. The North New Mexican fare uses a mix of Native American and Mexican spices and ingredients and La Cocina Restaurant takes great pride in its family recipes and rich traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next.
