House of Tacos & Sandwich serves traditional Mexican dishes and sandwiches in Los Angeles. From tacos and burritos to healthy sandwiches, one can easily stop by to have a quick, fulfilling meal.
However, the restaurant was found to be violating the California Health and Safety guidelines. During a health inspection conducted at the outlet on Monday, the officer found that the facility was operating without a valid food safety permit.
A major violation was observed as the facility had insects and rodents present. The staff was instructed to maintain a completely vermin-proof facility. The officer also found that the storage of equipment and utensils was not as per the expected standards.
The person in charge was unable to demonstrate knowledge of the food safety code. The tiles and overall state of the floors and walls were also not properly maintained. During the inspection, it was observed that nonfood contact surfaces were unclean and had debris accumulation. The facility needs to maintain adequate ventilation and lighting services throughout the prep area.
As the health hazards observed at the restaurant could pose a risk of disease outbreak, especially the vermin infestation, the department issued a temporary closure notice until all the violations are addressed.
