Punta Medano is preparing to open in Newport Beach, according to a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control record. The temporary license was requested by Punta Medano LLC for a location at 3305 Newport Blvd., Suite A, in Newport Beach.
The California ABC record identifies the business as Punta Medano and lists a Type 30 temporary license. The record does not provide a specific opening date or details about the restaurant’s planned operating hours. The document also lists Luis Armando Nara Sauceda as the principal associated with Punta Medano LLC.
The business’s name suggests it might bring a menu centered on Latin American food, potentially featuring dishes such as tacos, empanadas, ceviche, grilled meats, and other traditional specialties from across the region. The menu could also include a selection of sides, appetizers, and beverages inspired by Latin American culinary traditions, although specific offerings have not yet been confirmed. Further details about the concept, menu, and ownership have not been publicly announced.
