Lexington Welcomes New Mexican Restaurant Na’cho Margarita
Lexington is set to gain a new dining option as Na’cho Margarita plans to open a Mexican restaurant at 712 W. Main St., in the heart of downtown. The site was previously occupied by RF’s Corner Grill, which closed its doors in March after serving the community for more than six years.
Na’cho Margarita currently operates a successful restaurant at 745 Marina Way in Prosperity by Lake Murray. Launched in the summer of 2023, this location has become popular for its wide-ranging menu featuring dishes such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and sizzling fajitas.
The prospective downtown restaurant has already taken steps to establish itself in the area. Na’cho Margarita has applied for licenses to sell alcohol through the South Carolina Department of Revenue. A notice regarding this application was recently spotted in the window of the new Main Street location.
Location and Amenities
The upcoming Na’cho Margarita restaurant will be situated in the Town Square shopping center, a location that is notably anchored by a Food Lion supermarket. The Town Square plaza is home to several other businesses, including Musician Supply, Terry’s Barber Shop, Black Tiger Tae Kwon Do, and Wingstop.
This new restaurant location benefits from its high-traffic area. It is estimated that about 40,000 vehicles pass each day along the stretch of W. Main Street where the restaurant will be located. This significant daily traffic is expected to enhance visibility and attract a diverse clientele.
Community Impact and Expectations
The decision to open in downtown Lexington is seen as a move that could enrich the local dining scene, offering more options for residents and visitors alike. With its family-friendly atmosphere and a menu that caters to various tastes, Na’cho Margarita aims to create a welcoming space for all diners.
As the restaurant prepares to open its doors, many in the community are showing interest in what Na’cho Margarita will bring to the table—both literally and figuratively. The addition of a vibrant culinary experience alongside existing local businesses may also contribute positively to the overall foot traffic in downtown Lexington.
Background on Na’cho Margarita
Na’cho Margarita’s inception in Prosperity has been met with enthusiasm as it quickly established itself within the local dining landscape. The restaurant’s concept revolves around traditional Mexican fare combined with a lively dining experience, which is expected to carry over into the new downtown location.
The closing of RF’s Corner Grill left a noticeable gap in the local dining options, and the arrival of Na’cho Margarita could fill that void while appealing to a similar audience of casual diners looking for flavorful Mexican cuisine.
As further renovations and preparations take place, patrons can look forward to updates regarding the restaurant’s opening date and further announcements from Na’cho Margarita.
