El Azteca Closed

14 June 2013 11:47pm 783 9th Ave

El Azteca, the popular Mexican restaurant/​bar on 9th Ave just north of 52nd St, was shut down recently by the Department of Health:

The restaurant’s decided to make the most of the situation, however, and has decided to renovate the interior. It’s only been three days, and they’re already deep into the refitting.

They’ve had a pretty rough history in past health inspections, with a number of violations, but the closure was a first.

Here’s hoping they’re back up and running soon, with the health “issues” fixed.
