419 North Riverside, two licences
Production record
Best Daze at 527 North, not retail

North Riverside Drive: 419, 527, 908, 1205, 1811. South Riverside Drive: 423. That is seven of the eight top-listed licences on a single road, so in Española you are picking a stretch of Riverside Drive, not a neighbourhood. Accendo and FCI of New Mexico are both at 419 North. Elkhorn Retail holds two records, at 1205 North and 423 South. Alto Growers is on Railroad Avenue.

Which end to start from

Freshbudz at 1811 North is the northern anchor and Hustle Boyz sits at 908. Driving up from Santa Fe, the first shops come at the south end, near 423 South and 419 North, and work north. A Riverside Drive receipt does not travel onto pueblo land. Where use is lawful, and what the pueblos add, is in the visitor guide; the other New Mexico towns has state rules.
