Louisville Favorite Con Huevos Expands to Lexington

Con Huevos, a popular Mexican-inspired breakfast and brunch restaurant originating from Louisville, is preparing for expansion. The family-owned establishment, founded in 2015, will open its first location outside of Louisville in Lexington, expected in fall 2026. This move comes after the restaurant achieved significant growth, establishing five locations within Louisville and garnering national recognition, including being named among the best places for pancakes in America.

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Jesus Martinez and Izmene Peredo Martinez, Con Huevos began in a modest space and has since become a local favorite. The decision to expand to Lexington was driven by a desire to keep the first out-of-hometown expansion within Kentucky, emphasizing shared values of hospitality and community. The owners view the Lexington venture as a crucial test for proving the brand's ability to maintain its quality and spirit as it grows beyond its initial market.

Lexington residents can anticipate enjoying Con Huevos' signature Mexican-inspired dishes, such as huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and breakfast tacos, alongside fresh beverages and seasonal specials. While the exact address and opening date are yet to be announced, the "Pleasant Ridge area" is a likely location. This expansion also hints at potential future growth beyond Kentucky for the acclaimed restaurant.
