GETTING A DRINK

Wine and beer is for sale at almost any supermarket or convenience store, 7 days a week and pretty late at that. Probably not on Sunday mornings.

Liquor in larger towns and cities is sold by the state in state stores ... watch out they tend to close early.

In smaller towns, local merchants have a license from the state ... these stores may close very early.

SISTERS HONORABLE MENTION:

New Mexican Place, on the east end of town.  I haven't been there myself.  I can tell it is viable, based on who I know who likes it there.

Mexican at the Gas Station on the west end of town.  Literally in the gas station

Slick's BBQ ... despite the decorations and pictures of many of the country's great places ... you are not at any of them and you are here and it is worth eating ... I suspect best-est, when they are busy-est.

 

ON THE WAY TO REDMOND ... The Silver Leaf cafe ... good coffee, good cookies, lunch was very good, I suspect they may put the microwave to a little more use than they should ... my wrap wrapping was a little pasty.  Worthwhile
