Some of Leona's award-winning cuisine!
 

Located next to the historic El Santuario Church in Chimayo, NM, Leonas Restaurante has been serving the finest of northern New Mexico cuisine for over 35 years. This unique and spicy cuisine derives from recipes handed down through the generations in the small communities that nestle in the mountains and valleys of northern New Mexico.

Seasons Open: Open all year. Closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays
