Business turnover can be high in Red River, and it’s hard to recommend reliable options. Your choices, for the most part, are burgers and barbecue.
If you’re hungrier for spicy New Mexican, hold out till Questa. The town’s most legendary eatery is Texas Reds (111 E. Main St., 575/754-2964, 5–9 p.m. daily, $18), though it’s open only for dinner.
If The Hole Thing (601 W. Main St., 575/754-2342, 6:30–11 a.m. daily, $1) is still open (it was changing hands in 2008), stop in for an apple fritter or a cinnamon roll, so delicious that a bear once broke in and ate a whole tray.
Otherwise, Old Tymer’s Café (210 E. Main St., 575/754-2951, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. daily, $7) is reliable, if not ground-breaking.
