Our Story

When one door closes… another opens.

In January 2026, we were given the incredible opportunity to carry something truly special forward.

From the very beginning, one thing was never up for discussion:

La Cocina De Luz must remain La Cocina De Luz.

For nearly three decades, La Cocina has been more than a place to eat. It’s been a gathering place, a second home, and a cherished part of the Telluride community.

It’s where friendships have grown, traditions have been celebrated, and countless memories have been made.

Built on family, roots, traditions, and good vibes, La Cocina has always belonged to the people who walk through its doors.

This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s part of the community.

As the new owners of La Cocina and Caravan, we feel honored to continue its story. Our commitment is to preserve everything that has made La Cocina and Caravan so special while thoughtfully bringing our own passion, creativity, and hospitality into the next chapter.

Today, La Cocina and Caravan are one family. While each has its own unique personality, they’re united by the same values, the same team, and the same commitment to serving our community with exceptional food and genuine hospitality.

Whether you’re joining us for breakfast at La Cocina, grabbing lunch from Caravan, or celebrating life’s biggest moments through our catering, you’re part of our family.

We’re grateful to everyone who has supported La Cocina over the years and excited to welcome new friends for years to come.

SAME SOUL. STILL HERE. ❤️
