About

The following information is available for Rancho De Chimayo:

A Timeless Tradition nestled in the hills of northern new mexico.

The Chimayó valley is a verdant oasis extending from the foothills of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the expanse of the Rio Grande valley. It is fertile area where three streams meet and traverse its entire distance. The valley’s charms have attracted people both in prehistoric and historic times. Native Americans inhabited the piñon covered hills and chamiso strewn valley floor. The name Chimayó itself is from the Tewá Indian language meaning superior red flaking stone. The Cañada de Chimayó, as it is known in the early records, became increasingly settled by the Spanish after 1692. The Spanish Crown encouraged colonists from New Spann (Mexico) to move north and the Chimayó valley was one of the places they settled. In 1693, Jose Jaramillo Negrete and his wife Maria de Sotomayor of Mexico City, came to New Mexico as colonists. Their son, Roque came as a soldier at the same time. Soon the many sons and daughters of Roque Jaramillo and his wife Petrona de Cardenas spread through out northern New Mexico. Manuel Jaramillo, a son of Roque’s, acquired property in the upper Cañada de Chimayó in the early 1700’s. In the 1800’s, two brothers, Manuel Jaramillo’s great grandsons, Hermengildo and Epifanio assisted each other in building their family homes. In October 1965, the home of Hermenengildo and Trinidad Jaramillo became restaurant de Chimayó. Arturo, Hermenegildo’s grandson, and his wife Florence had an idealistic vision in their plans for the house and land. Their restaurant would preserve the rich traditions of their family and its proud culture. The setting is comfortable and romantic. Fireplaces radiate warmth into cozy rooms and family photographs hang on the white washed adobe walls. The lovely terraced patio beckons you to exquisite outdoor dining. In October 2005, the Restaurante celebrated their 40th anniversary as thriving, world renown restaurant in Northern New Mexico. Most recently, in July 2008, Rancho de Chimayó endured a fire which did damage to the kitchen among others areas. After more than a year, the restaurant has been respectfully restored with upgraded improvements, preserving the original adobe walls, structure and many of it’s authentic features. Rancho de Chimayó is a treasured part of New Mexico’s heritage and history and will always remain..a timeless tradition.
