 Well, Mirancho has been serving up authentic Mexican food to the Bemidji area for a decade now. But how did it come to Bemidji? Reporter Cheryl Moore tells us the story in this week's In Business. For the past decade, Mirancho and Bemidji has been serving fajitas, burritos, and margaritas just like the ones you'd find on a trip to Mexico. The business already had a few restaurants up north, but were looking to expand in different towns. My brother, the owner, David Mendoza, found the town driving downtown looking for a place without Mexican restaurants. The business is 100 percent family-owned and operated. Just recently, they've started expanding their circle. You'll find an environment with family and friends. Everything started with family and friends, and we're kind of keeping it that way. Now, we're also hiring people from town. The recipes the restaurant uses are also passed down through the family, and they're always adding new items. We have the burrito fajita, the ones that are the most popular in the burritos. We also have the burrito grande. The most popular one, it's the parellada. It's kind of like a fajita. It comes out in a hot skillet. Mirancho has been a part of the Bemidji community for 10 years now, and they're always changing things up. You can find different items on their menu, but then you can also find a different atmosphere every year. We try to keep it the same theme every year, and we try to keep it authentic Mexican. It's just, we put new ideas into the restaurants. We go around, let's say, if we travel and then we find something that we like, we apply it to the restaurant. Yeah. For now, the new room that we're doing is we're going to open new windows in the room that used to be the pirate room, so it won't be too equine. More comfortable for customers to sit on. Over the decade, Mirancho has managed to build up a dedicated group of regular customers. They predict the reason people keep coming back is because the staff treats everyone who walks through the doors like family. They love the family environment. They love the food. They like the recipes. They love the meals. We always try to be friendly. Reporting in Bemidji, with this week's In Business, Shramor, Lakeland News.
