The rumor was that they had to pay Luis Jr a significant amount of money to get them to leave their lease early.
I struck up a conversation with Luis Jr himself on the restaurant's last day, and he said they were expecting to reopen in a new location "soon."
A year and a half slowly rolled by.
And then - this.
Hiking past the Sutter Square Galleria at 2901 K Street, we find this sign gleaming at us through the window.
According to their answering machine, they're targeting an august '09 opening.
Thank goodness. The long dark may be over.

Did they have chips fried in lard like the original Luis' (RIP)? Beefy lard fried chips with a loads of salsa are the best things ever.
Yes, yes they did. Luis Jr was, for all intents and purposes the same restaurant as the original Luis', moved to a new location after the double whammy of Luis's dying and the family losing the lease on the original location. The extra good news is that Luis Jr himself spent the last decade or so as the head chef at his dad's restaurant, so the food at Jr's was identical.
