A new Mexican restaurant, Mi Ranchito Family Restaurant, opened Friday near the intersection of College Drive and Main Avenue in a space formerly occupied by BREW Pub & Kitchen.<\/p>\n

Mi Ranchito is the latest venture for Jaime Lariz, a longtime Durango restaurateur, who owned San Marcos Mexican Restaurant on U.S. Highway 160 west of downtown and No Way Jose\u2019s in the 1000 block of Main Avenue.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s menu will be similar to Lariz\u2019s previous restaurants, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody liked the food,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His previous locations proved to be problematic for his previous businesses, he said. No Way Jose\u2019s was simply too small and the San Marcos\u2019 building was \u201cfalling apart,\u201d he said. San Marcos closed in September, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to be in a new location in the downtown,\u201d Lariz said.<\/p>\n

In a building closer to Durango\u2019s night life, Lariz hopes to fill a niche for late meals on Fridays and Saturdays by staying open until 3 a.m. The late-night hours are expected to start in January, he said.<\/p>\n

Lariz also opened up the building to seat more people than BREW by clearing space previously dedicated to brewing equipment. The restaurant can seat about 85 people.<\/p>\n

However, Lariz preserved the bar and plans to serve margaritas, wine and other alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s menu features street tacos, carne asada, enchiladas, tamales, chile rellenos, mole and flautas, among other dishes.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s current hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Entrees are priced from about $11.75 to $16. The street tacos are $2.75.<\/p>\n
