     Although the Presque Isle area isn\u2019t renowned for its diverse selection of cultural dining, a select few establishments stand out from the crowd of chain restaurants. One of these restaurants is Mainely Mexican, located at 6 State Road. You can sample classic entrees such as enchiladas and chimichangas or their specialties like the Mexican spiced rib eye or the lobster taco. This restaurant offers a variety of Mexican dining that other places in the local area do not provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

     Mainely Mexican celebrated their fifth anniversary on Feb. 23rd<\/sup>.  Jay Edgecomb, its owner, discussed the ups and downs the restaurant has faced. \u201cAny new restaurant is big at the start up here. We had our lull during the pandemic. But we\u2019ve seen traffic come back as COVID\u2019s died down.\u201d This has been proven time and time again. Restaurants come and go in the area. But Mainely Mexican has shown it has a place in the Presque Isle region. It\u2019s had a steady stream of customers for over half a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     \u201cMainely Mexican is a good example of what\u2019s needed up here,\u201d UMPI junior Paul Tardie said \u201cThe wait staff are timely and attentive. The food selection isn\u2019t something you can find anywhere else in the area.\u201d The restaurant also has a bar with a variety of drinks. Their margaritas are especially notable. They also offer Taco Tuesday, which gives customers options from an affordable variety taco menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     If you\u2019re looking for a nice dinner in town, Mainely Mexican is most definitely recommended. Mainely Mexican is open Tuesday to Friday from 4:30 to 7, and Saturday from noon to 7. Current UMPI students also have the opportunity to receive a 10 percent discount on their meal if they bring their Student ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
