Carlito’s Way should not be the theme for Carlito’s Burritos on Patrick and Pecos in Las Vegas, which came in with a 36-demerit “C.”
We got a warm welcome from customers, who said, “I love you, I love you, I love you but this is not the spot for Dirty Dining.”
They were disappointed that their favorite hangout got a bad health inspection.
Milk that was almost two weeks expired. Eggs that were almost as old as the milk. They had to throw out tomatoes, cooked vegetables and green chile pork because all were at unsafe temperatures.
There was rust and mold in the ice machine. Soda nozzles were moldy too. Raw eggs, some of which were cracked and leaking, sat on top of shredded cheese.
“We’d like your side of the story to know what they found, why they found all the stuff that caused you to get so many demerits,” said Darcy Spears.
“That one, you need to speak to the owner, sweetheart, I have no comment. I came in and, I don’t know,” said the person in charge.
“You saw that C posted on the wall?” asked Darcy.
“I haven’t seen no C.”
That’s because it’s not posted, which in itself is a violation. Right above her, there’s an empty nail on the wall.
