About Us
Arana features authentic Mexican cuisine inspired by the culinary traditions of the Yucata. Araña stresses authenticity in its cooking; the restaurant’s food and beverages use fresh, high-quality ingredients used in traditional Mexican cooking and do not steer from the norm.
Executive Chef Richard Papier, a New Orleans-native trained in authentic Mexican cuisine, has worked for some of the city’s top chefs including Emeril Lagasse, Donald link, Susan Spicer and Nathaniel Zimet, and gained his Yucatan-style cooking from Mexico-city native and mentor Guillermo Peters, Mexico City-native who is currently established in New Orleans.
The name Araña means “spider” in Spanish and is named after Executive Chef Richard Papier, who was given the nickname “Spyder” while working in the culinary industry many years ago.
