West Las Vegas is getting a new wildcard on Owens Avenue. Mediterranean Latin Grill, a fusion concept from owner Ian Jones, is lined up for a storefront at 1216 W Owens Ave. Jones has confirmed the address but has not shared an opening date or any specifics on what will be on the menu. The space was most recently home to Soul Foo Young, a small local spot that is now listed as closed.
According to What Now Las Vegas, Jones said he is opening on Owens but did not offer a timeline for when doors will actually open. The outlet also reported that Mediterranean Latin Grill did not yet have an active website or searchable social media presence at the time of its story, so curious diners are out of luck on online sleuthing for now.
Space's history and the former tenant
Business directories list Soul Foo Young at 1216 W Owens Ave and mark the location as permanently closed, suggesting the unit was recently vacated, according to MapQuest. Local listings such as VegasNearMe also continue to show the former Soul Foo Young entry tied to the address.
Where it fits in the Valley scene
What Now Las Vegas places the Owens storefront on the edge of downtown and neighborhoods such as Centennial Hills and Charleston Heights, positioning the restaurant to pull from several pockets of the Valley. The city’s dining scene has seen a steady run of Mediterranean and chef-driven openings in recent years, including José Andrés’s Zaytinya, a sign that there is growing appetite for Mediterranean flavors in Las Vegas, per Eater Vegas.
What to watch next
For now, public details on Mediterranean Latin Grill are sparse. There is no word yet on menu, hours or staffing, so the concept is largely a mystery beyond its name and location. Expect more information to surface through social media, a website or business filings as the opening gets closer. We will update this story when Mediterranean Latin Grill shares additional details or announces an official opening date.
