Want ghost with that? If so, Rio Grande Café might be the place. Located in the historic Rio Grande train depot—a history-filled location to begin with—rumors of a ghostly apparition with a purple aura persist, supposedly the ghost of a jilted woman who jumped in front of a train at the depot. Slammed doors, dropped dishes and eerie footsteps in the night add to the legend of the Purple Lady. Tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas and chile rellenos are the order of the day at the Rio Grande Café, but for a real treat, try the carnitas platter and wash it down with a cold Dos Equis or excellent Margarita. A favorite hang for local artists, there’s lots of cool, funky local art to take in as well.
