MIAMI - It's a sure way to get ordered shut!
A state inspector got quite a surprise during a routine inspection in Miami last week.
According to the inspection report, a "rodent fell through the ceiling" and hid under equipment during the inspection at Los Frijolitos at 3061 NW South River Drive.
Although the restaurant's name is listed as Los Frijolitos in the inspection report, a photo of the restaurant shows it as El Captain.
The restaurant was also operating with an expired Division of Hotels and Restaurants license.
Rodent activity was also discovered by an inspector at Los Tres Golpes Mexican Restaurant in Oakland Park and dishwashing issues were found in a store/restaurant in the Peninsula in Aventura.
Below is a list of places that were ordered shut and some of their violations.
As of this post, The Peninsula Retail has not been allowed to re-open. All the other places mentioned were allowed to reopen following an ordered cleanup and then a re-inspection.
