Newport Beach officials hoped the stand would be open in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, but delays in equipment deliveries postponed the opening.
The equipment has been delivered and was being installed last week, city spokeswoman Tara Finnigan wrote in an email.
The owners need to test the equipment, schedule health department inspections and conduct staff training, she said.
A Wahoo's Fish Taco truck will be at the beach on Saturday and Sunday, just as it was for the Memorial Day weekend.

Mystery noise in CdM
Some Corona del Mar residents heard a strange "loud boom/bang" about 12:20 a.m. Tuesday, and police confirmed they received two calls about the noise.
"We had two reports of a loud 'shot' at approximately 12:20 a.m.," said Kathy Lowe, a Newport Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
One of the callers was on Rivera Terrace in the Corona Highlands neighborhood, and the other was near Fourth and Marguerite avenues.
Corona del Mar Today readers in the village also reported hearing the noise. The Rivera Terrace call was reported as shots fired, according to online police logs.
"Officers responded to the area," Lowe said. "However, they were unable to locate the cause of the noise. We did not receive any additional related calls."
One Corona del Mar Today reader said the noise was a "very loud boom/bang." "It definitely woke up us up," the reader wrote in an email. "It was louder than a gun I believe … it scared me wide awake!"
