Chicken Nuevo (February)

3102 E. Grant Road

  • History: Failed an inspection in November 2013. Received passing ratings until Jan. 26, when it received a “provisional” rating.
  • What the inspector saw: The restaurant received a “fail” during a Feb. 5 reinspection for its provisional status, when two critical violations still hadn’t been corrected. A “hot hold” cabinet for cooked chickens wasn’t keeping the birds hot enough, and roach activity was seen near the mop and hand sinks.
  • Follow-up: Passed Feb. 16.
  • Response: Owner or manager could not be reached for comment.
