Santa Monica’s Incoming Punta Cabras Won’t Just Be a Taco Shop Anymore

Santa Monica’s next taco project

The former Tacos Punta Cabras (now just shortened to Punta Cabras) is coming along nicely, at least according to the company’s official Facebook page. Windows are still wrapped up with a coming soon look, and the plan is to open before the end of the first quarter in 2018.

That said, this Santa Monica newcomer should look and feel a good bit different than the previous iteration up the street. Punta Cabras will still offer tacos, but also has room for way more seats, a freshened up aesthetic, a wider menu with full entree options, and a bar. Expect an opening sometime in March.
