Kitchen Guard’s thorough cleaning addresses the specific challenges of Northern New Mexico’s distinctive food traditions.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Espanola Hood Cleaning FAQ
Do traditional New Mexican restaurants need more frequent hood cleaning?
Yes, in many cases. Traditional New Mexican cooking methods — including high-heat lard cooking, chile roasting, and wood fire grilling — can produce above-average grease accumulation in exhaust systems. Kitchen Guard assesses your specific operation and may recommend more frequent service than the standard quarterly cleaning for high-output traditional kitchens.
Do you service Pueblo-operated food service facilities in the Espanola area?
Yes. Kitchen Guard works with Pueblo-operated food service facilities throughout the Espanola Valley area, including operations associated with Ohkay Owingeh, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, and Pojoaque Pueblos. We coordinate service scheduling with tribal operators and respect tribal protocols.
Do you serve Abiquiu, Dixon, and the northern Rio Arriba communities?
Yes. Kitchen Guard serves the full Rio Arriba County corridor including Abiquiu, El Rito, Medanales, Dixon, Velarde, Alcalde, and the Highway 84 corridor toward Tierra Amarilla. Remote communities may require advance scheduling for service visits.
