Los Molcajetes, the Mexican restaurant at 1553 N. Eastern Ave., was shut down by the Southern Nevada Health District after a re-inspection on Wednesday, Aug. 4.
SNHD initially inspected the restaurant on July 30, giving it a 28-demerit C grade. Inspectors returned to find food unprotected from potential contamination, an inadequate number of hand washing stations, grade cards unposted and more.

The health district conducts unannounced inspections at least once a year. Inspections are posted online about five days after the inspection.

Restaurants have the option of requesting a re-inspection before the next scheduled inspection.
