Lexington – A new Mexican restaurant, Na’cho Margarita, is poised to open at 712 W. Main St. in downtown Lexington, further enriching the area’s culinary landscape. The establishment is situated in the Town Square shopping center, which is also home to a Food Lion supermarket and several other businesses, including Musician Supply, Terry’s Barber Shop, Black Tiger Tae Kwon Do, and a Wingstop chicken restaurant.
Na’cho Margarita is not a newcomer to the restaurant scene; it is already well-received at its existing location by the shores of Lake Murray at 745 Marina Way in Prosperity, which opened during the summer of 2023. The new Lexington venue is actively applying for the necessary licenses to sell alcohol. A notice indicating this endeavor has been prominently displayed in the window of the prospective restaurant location.
The property at 712 W. Main St. is transitioning from RF’s Corner Grill, which had operated for over six years before closing in March. With the heightened anticipation surrounding Na’cho Margarita, the town is optimistic about revitalizing the space and contributing positively to the downtown dining experience.
Na’cho Margarita is expected to offer an extensive menu, featuring a variety of authentic Mexican dishes. Diners can look forward to indulging in favorites like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, poblano peppers, and sizzling fajitas. The diverse offerings aim to attract both local patrons and visitors looking for an authentic dining experience.
The restaurant’s location is advantageous, with approximately 40,000 vehicles passing daily on W. Main Street, according to state Department of Transportation data. This high-traffic situation positions Na’cho Margarita to potentially capture a significant customer base right from its opening.
The opening of Na’cho Margarita is part of a broader trend of increased business and development activity in Lexington, particularly in the dining sector. Local restaurant owners express a general feeling of excitement regarding the new establishment, viewing it as a potential enhancement to the vibrancy of Main Street. The addition of Na’cho Margarita reflects a growing interest in diverse dining options within the community.
In summary, Na’cho Margarita’s upcoming debut in downtown Lexington not only highlights the restaurant’s expansion from its successful start at Lake Murray but also signifies positive growth in the local culinary scene. As the restaurant prepares for its opening, it promises to bring a rich array of Mexican dishes to the area while contributing to the overall development of downtown Lexington.
