Constructed 1932.
The Oñate Theater opened in 1932 with a seating capacity of 600 patrons. Named for the original Spanish colonizer of New Mexico, the Oñate served as Belén’s main cinema until it was closed in the early 1990s. Local entrepreneur Anthony Baca purchased the theater in 1993 and converted it into a popular grill and restaurant that was called Harla Mays. The restaurant housed an impressive collection of movie and popular culture memorabilia.
