New Mexican Restaurant Na’cho Margarita Plans to Open in Downtown Lexington
Lexington, SC – A new Mexican restaurant, Na’cho Margarita, is set to open at 712 W. Main St. in downtown Lexington. The restaurant will occupy the space previously held by RF’s Corner Grill, which closed in March after over six years of operation. Na’cho Margarita will provide a menu that features a variety of Mexican dishes, including tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, poblano peppers, and sizzling fajitas.
Na’cho Margarita has already established a presence in the region with a successful location along Lake Murray at 745 Marina Way in Prosperity, which opened in summer 2023. The restaurant’s arrival in Lexington is expected to draw attention due to its diverse menu and growing popularity.
Alcohol Licensing and Community Impact
As part of its preparations to welcome patrons, Na’cho Margarita has applied for the necessary licenses to sell alcohol from the South Carolina Department of Revenue. A notice regarding this alcohol licensing application is prominently displayed in the window of the new restaurant location. This step is vital to the restaurant’s operations, as alcoholic beverages are a key component of its dining experience.
The Town Square shopping center, where Na’cho Margarita plans to set up, is a bustling area anchored by a Food Lion supermarket. Other businesses within the shopping center include Musician Supply, Terry’s Barber Shop, Black Tiger Tae Kwon Do, and Wingstop. The layout of Town Square and the surrounding businesses are expected to contribute to a vibrant dining atmosphere.
Locational Advantage
Located in a prime area with heavy traffic, approximately 40,000 vehicles travel daily along W. Main Street near the proposed restaurant site, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation. This high-traffic area is conducive to attracting both locals and visitors, creating a potential hotspot for dining out in downtown Lexington.
Background on Na’cho Margarita
Na’cho Margarita is distinguished by its extensive menu of classic Mexican cuisine. With a focus on using fresh ingredients to create flavorful dishes, the restaurant aims to appeal to a wide audience. The decision to expand to downtown Lexington comes as part of the restaurant’s growth strategy, leveraging the popularity of its existing location in Prosperity.
The restaurant industry has faced an array of challenges in the past few years, but the demand for dining options has remained steady. As such, new establishments like Na’cho Margarita can provide a much-needed boost to local economies while enhancing community dining experiences. The anticipated opening in Lexington is part of a broader trend of growing interest in restaurant establishments that offer diverse culinary options.
