“Best Authentic El Salvadoran and Honduran Cuisine In Louisville.”
As a brief aside, my work on a book about beer has sent me into the newspaper archives. It is fascinating to compare and contrast newspaper headlines of the sort designed to be seen from a tactile newsstand, with the purposefully dull teasers greeting us daily in the electronic medium.
Granted, I’m older now, and periodically find myself lapsing into cynicism, yet after 30 years of having one’s brain reformatted by insipid click bait…
- New designer soda cracker shop coming somewhere in the city soon
- Somewhere in the city, local restaurant announces closure, then reopens
- Venerable Louisville Bulgarian restaurant closes somewhere in the city: ‘това е всичко, хора.’
- Popular luxury seaweed salad restaurant closes after four years in business (somewhere in the city)
…it is more than retro-refreshing to see old-school print headlines that actually provide sufficient information to encourage the reader to care, short of generating half-interested clicks.
But one does as one must.
Back to the story of the day, the advent of La Guanaquita 2 (600 E. Broadway), as always fully attributed to Louisville’s top news source for genuinely relevant restaurant news, somewhere in the city (insert smiling emoji).
South Louisville Latin restaurant La Guanaquita expands with opens new Smoketown location, by Michael L. Jones (Louisville Business First)
A South Louisville Salvadoran and Honduran restaurant opened a second location in the Smoketown neighborhood in late April.
La Guanaquita 2 is located at 600 E. Broadway, near a BP gas station and the Chicken King restaurant. The new restaurant is affiliated with La Guanaquita, located at 4231 Taylor Blvd., a Salvadoran eatery known for its pupusas—a thick griddle cake or flatbread from El Salvador and Honduras made with cornmeal or rice flour. Similar to the Colombian and Venezuelan arepa, pupusas can be filled with a variety of ingredients.
