Lexington, South Carolina – Na’cho Margarita is set to open a new location at 712 W. Main St. in Lexington’s Town Square Shopping Center. This establishment will be conveniently located near downtown Lexington and is part of a vibrant shopping center that includes a Food Lion supermarket as its anchor tenant.
Recent public records reveal that Na’cho Margarita has formally applied for alcohol sales licenses from the South Carolina Department of Revenue, a critical step toward the restaurant’s operational readiness. A notice of this application was posted in the window of the new location, indicating the establishment’s progress in preparation for opening.
The new site will replace RF’s Corner Grill, which closed its doors in March after over six years of service. Na’cho Margarita has gained a loyal customer base with its existing restaurant located at 745 Marina Way in Prosperity, Lake Murray, which opened just this past summer.
As for its menu, the Lexington location is expected to offer a variety of traditional Mexican dishes, similar to those found at the Prosperity venue. Diners can anticipate enjoying tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, poblanos, and sizzling fajitas. A specialty item to look forward to is the popular queso birria tacos, known for their rich flavors and popularity among patrons.
Strategically positioned, the new restaurant will be in a high-traffic area where about 40,000 vehicles pass daily, according to data from the state Department of Transportation. This visibility is expected to draw in customers from both the local community and visitors.
The Town Square Shopping Center also houses several other businesses including Musician Supply, Terry’s Barber Shop, Black Tiger Tae Kwon Do, and a Wingstop, further enhancing the area’s appeal as a dining and shopping destination.
The co-owners of Na’cho Margarita, Gustavo Atehortua, Ignacio Velazquez, Johnny Vetancourt, and George Mesa, bring a wealth of experience and culinary expertise to their new venture. Their ambition is to replicate the success enjoyed at the Prosperity location while tailoring the menu slightly to fit the demographic of Lexington.
The official opening date for the new Lexington location is contingent upon obtaining the final liquor license approvals, which are expected to be finalized within a month. Na’cho Margarita looks forward to becoming an integral part of the Lexington community and is excited to offer its unique dining experience to new customers.
As the anticipation builds around the new address on W. Main Street, many are eager to indulge in the flavors and offerings of Na’cho Margarita, contributing to the diverse culinary landscape of Lexington.
