Divorced eggs? These two eggs had irreconcilable differences over red or green salsa.
In the joy of this almost post-pandemic summer, diners are rushing back to local restaurants. But servers, line cooks and other restaurant workers aren’t in such a hurry, so if you’re dining out in Louisville these days, you may encounter a wait.
You’ve heard the stories: A three-hour delay at a popular riverside fried-fish eatery. Two hours for seating at a popular watering hole, with many open tables in sight. Kitchens so backed up that you can’t even place an order. Harried staffers pulling multiple duty as greeter, server, cook, and cashier.
Indeed, a host warned of a “15-minute hold” at La Suerte recently, when the brunch crowd was apparently slamming the kitchen and slowing the pace of orders coming out.
Should we wait? Of course! If the eye-catching decor of bold red-chile, guacamole-green and Santa Fe sky blue didn’t hold our attention, the passing scene on Bardstown Road from our window seat surely would. Not to mention the eclectic playlist that cycled from the early Beatles to reggae to Motown and back.
As it turned out, our cordial server was quick to deliver plates, napkins, tall glasses of ice water, and delicious black coffee ($2.99) in sturdy white mugs. By the time we got a good look at Executive Chef Adrian (“Jojo”) Jimarez Neri’s menu, she was back to take our brunch order, and everything went smoothly thereafter.
If you don’t know Chef Jojo’s name, there’s a good chance that you know his work. He was in the kitchen at North End Cafe for most of its 17-year run in Clifton before it closed last year. He may have influenced the popular Latin dishes (migas, enchiladas, tacos, tapas) on its international menu. The shorter-lived North End branch on Bardstown Road gave way to La Suerte, which he opened in April 2019.
Now it’s all Mexican and South American, all the time, with a full menu daily plus Sunday brunch.
The brunch menu offers a tasty range of egg dishes and other Latin-style breakfast dishes. If you go, take note that the current house menu is not as extensive as the menu on La Suerte’s website, a shift that I assume is pandemic-related. Don’t set your heart on a dish featured on the website until you confirm that it’s currently available. ...
