JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Only one restaurant was shut down this week for serious health violations, though not for pest control issues, but they had other serious health violations.
A health inspector issued a stop sale on lettuce at the Taqueria Hernandez food truck because an employee handled a water hose outside, then touched lettuce without washing their hands.
The health inspector also noted temperature violations on four items including beef, pork, chicken an onions, and noticed that the hot water hand wash sink couldn’t reach 100 degrees as required. It was temporarily shut down.
