Lempira

Plaza Shamrock · Charlotte

Also listed in: Charlotte Nightlife Over 50 Charlotte

Lempira is named for the Lenca chief on Honduras's currency and cooks Honduran, Salvadoran and Mexican food on the Central Avenue corridor: pupusas, baleadas, tamales and tacos, made from scratch daily. Its own site says the dishes are 'made fresh every day with locally sourced ingredients'. It opens at eight in the morning and runs to midnight, or one in the morning on Friday and Saturday, which makes it one of the few genuinely late kitchens on this stretch.
