Mexican Restaurant coming to South Highway 75 in Luverne

At their Tuesday, April 11, meeting, Luverne City Council members approved annual liquor and Sunday on-sale licenses for Los Bravos, LLC, the Mexican restaurant coming to South Highway 75.
The owner of Los Bravos, Luis Abundes, purchased the former 75 Diner restaurant from Codie Deutsch and requested liquor licenses for the period April 12 through Dec. 31.
Abundes closed on the purchase Monday and plans to open for business in a month, just after Mother’s Day.
Deutsch will serve as the resident manager for Abundes, who lives in Jackson; however, she said she’ll have no role in the operation of the new restaurant.
Abundes also owns Fiesta Brava Mexican Restaurant in Jackson. Another Fiesta Brava operates in Rock Rapids, Iowa. He also owns several other restaurants in other states.
According to council information, all materials have been submitted (copy of restaurant license, certificate of insurance and fees) and the background checks for Abundes and Deutsch were favorable.
Those applications will be sent to the state for approval as well.
