Miguel's Mexican Restaurant ~ Midtown

Family-run on South Virginia Street in Midtown Reno, Miguel's Mexican Restaurant says it opened in 1959 and claims to be Northern Nevada's first Mexican restaurant.

Order the ceviche or the tacos de pescado, or go for a combo: the #6 pairs a taco with enchiladas, and the #8 matches an enchilada with a chile relleno. The burrito is featured on the home page too. The room has tile floors and open beam ceilings, and the bar runs a margarita program. The crowd spans generations, the owner is often on the floor, and staff know regulars by name.

The Midtown spot is described as the original, with recipes the family says are unchanged. The site has a Private Events page, and one review says a party of ten was seated and served without trouble. Online ordering, gift cards, and a rewards app are offered. A second location, The Summit, sits at 13901 S Virginia St.
