Celebrate National Queso Day in Louisville

It’s okay to put too much dip on your chip today.

Queso and housmade chips at Guacamole Modern Mexican in NuLu

Be careful - the mocaljete at Guacamole might be hot.

Did you know that September 20 is National Queso Day?

Here are three places to celebrate:

Guacamole Modern Mexican | 900 E. Market St.
This NuLu spot is home to a Frida Kahlo mural, but it isn’t just the artwork that will catch your eye. The queso is served in a mocaljete with housemade, blue corn tortilla chips. Pro tip: Add chorizo for a kick.

Merle’s Whiskey Kitchen | 122 W. Main St.
You’ve heard of queso and margaritas, but now get ready for queso and... bourbon? Merle’s on Whiskey Row has a wide selection of Kentucky’s signature spirit to polish off your chips and queso.

Taco Luchador | Multiple locations
For a twist, order queso with a chicharron instead of chips. It’s the same crunch, but with a unique flavor.
