The restaurant will open in Pleasant Ridge Commons, a growing mixed-use development in the Hamburg trade area. [Con Huevos is owned by husband-and-wife team Jesus Martinez and Izmene Peredo Martinez](https://conhuevos.com/), who [opened their first restaurant on Frankfort Avenue in March 2015](https://www.wave3.com/2023/03/22/con-huevos-opening-new-norton-commons-location-march/). The Louisville operation has since expanded to five locations across the city, with [the restaurant known for made-from-scratch classics, craft coffee, and dishes including chilaquiles, breakfast tacos, burritos and huevos rancheros](https://www.yelp.com/biz/con-huevos-louisville-3). Martinez said the couple chose Lexington as their first expansion outside Louisville because the city shares the values that define their brand. "Lexington has a beautiful mix of families, professionals, students, visitors, and people who really enjoy breakfast and brunch," he said in a statement. "It is a city with energy, growth, and a strong sense of local pride." The Lexington location represents a strategic test for the growing restaurant group. "For us, Lexington is also an important test," Martinez said. "It allows us to prove that Con Huevos can grow beyond Louisville while keeping the same quality, warmth, and spirit that made people fall in love with the brand in the first place." [Pleasant Ridge Commons is a mixed-use development in the Hamburg area](https://rebusinessonline.com/f45-training-signs-retail-lease-at-pleasant-ridge-commons-in-lexington-kentucky/) that has attracted other regional and national retailers. The restaurant will feature the colorful, inviting atmosphere characteristic of Con Huevos locations, along with its full menu of Mexican-inspired breakfast and brunch specialties. The Martinez family's journey to opening Con Huevos began when they relocated from Guadalajara to Louisville in 2012 to work in the spirits industry. They identified what they saw as a gap in the Louisville restaurant market: authentic Mexican breakfast featuring dishes like chilaquiles and traditional café de olla. The couple's dedication to scratch-made cooking and authentic flavors has helped build a loyal customer base that keeps the restaurants consistently busy during peak brunch hours. Additional details about the Lexington opening, including the exact address and grand opening date, will be announced in coming months.
