A drain pipe ‘repaired’ with a plastic bag and a flood in the kitchen force closure of Mexican restaurant in West Valley City

A pipe “repaired with a plastic bag” and sink water “running throughout the kitchen” were among more than three dozen health violations that forced the closure Thursday of Mexican restaurant in West Valley City.

“Wastewater from the three-compartment sink is running on the floor throughout kitchen,” inspectors wrote, noting that “the drain pipe for the three-compartment sink is repaired with a plastic bag.”

The restaurant will remain closed until the owners can make the necessary repairs and health inspectors consider it safe for the public.

• Potentially hazardous foods, including eggs, pico de gallo, queso fresco and pinto beans were being held at temperatures higher than 41 degrees, increasing the chance of bacteria growth.
