Health Department Closes Three Restaurants with Roach Infestations - Eater Vegas
"The Southern Nevada Health District shut down El Burrito Mexican Restaurant at 8508 Del Webb Blvd. on May 2 after a customer complained that she found a cockroach in her refried beans. Inspectors found dead, multi-generational roaches in the kitchen food prep areas, inside the cook line, and on top of a food container. Live roaches crawled on the walls, on a cutting board, and in a wall panel next to the prep area, according to KTNV. Aside from being shut down for an imminent health hazard, inspectors found expired food, fried chiles held at unsafe temperatures, ground beef stored in a bucket, and uncovered food that could be contaminated in the 26-demerit inspection. The restaurant reopened on May 6 with a zero-demerit A grade." - Susan Stapleton
