Mexican restaurant in Midvale shut down for the second time in two years for health hazards

Related Topics: Mexican cuisine

A Mexican restaurant in Midvale has been shut down for the second time in two years after Salt Lake County Health Department inspectors found 41 potential health problems — including 19 violations described as critical to human health.

The “inability of the walk-in cooler to maintain a temperature of 42 degrees” was a major factor in the closure, but inspectors found other problems including:

  • Children of the manager in the kitchen.
  • Excessive flies and a large spider found in the kitchen.
  • Lettuce and mayonnaise held at too high a temperature, which could cause bacterial growth.
