After Failed Inspection, Gwinnett Mexican Restaurant Gets An 'A'

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — A downtown Lawrenceville Mexican restaurant that failed its health inspection last month has redeemed itself in the eyes of inspectors.

La Cazuela, at 179 W. Crogan St., scored a perfect 100/A on its follow-up inspection on Sunday.

"Facility has corrected all good retail practice violations observed on the last inspection," reads the report.

Moldy beer taps, dirty utensils and warm sour cream were just some of the problems inspectors found during inspection on April 17. The restaurant scored a 57/U on that inspection.

The score of 57 had been a sharp drop from La Cazuela's previous inspections. The restaurant received a 94-A on its most recent inspection in February and a 91-A on an inspection in September.

Sunday's report noted that hot and cold storage problems that had caused penalties on the previous report had been fixed.

Prior to Sunday's inspection, La Cazuela had already cleared up one of the problems for which it was penalized. On April 20,inspectors confirmed that the restaurant has proper documentation that some of the fish it serves is safe.

To be specific, inspectors were looking for a form showing that tilapia the restaurant uses to make ceviche was confirmed to be parasite-free.
