Tehuitzingo shuttered after only one month by health department

10 March 2014 10:58pm Tehuitzingo

Just one month ago Tehuitzingo opened their new store on 9th Ave, and already they’ve been hit by the health department.

They’ve put a letter up with the closure notice giving their side of the story:

They say they were closed “for reasons that cannot be shared”, but “were not closed down for a ‘dirty’ or unsanitary reason”. The health inspection violations are available online though, and list things like hot food not held at the correct temperature, evidence of mice, and food not protected from potential sources of contamination. So not sure what’s going on.

This is the second place this week the DOH has hit – they also got Stecchino further up 9th Ave, with a whole lot more “violation points” than here. Strict week at the health department it sounds like.
