I'm a little late with this post, but it looks like Udupi Cafe has once again ran afoul of the Maricopa County Health Inspectors. This is the second time in about a year (last time they had 13 violations) that Udupi has had problems. This time, they racked up 8 new health violations, resulting in the county filing papers to revoke their license to operate.

It's a real shame because the food at Udupi was really good. I just don't understand why they find it so hard to keep the place clean and practice good restaurant sanitation. There are plenty of other small restaurant operators that don't seem to have the problems Udupi does.

After less than 6 months in business, San Cabo Mexican Grill is out of business. I'm not sure the exact reasons, but I suspect it may have to do with owner Lloyd Melton's recent legal problems surrounding his arrest for participation in an alleged gambling ring. Either way, San Cabo is just another restaurant in a long line of failed establishments at the corner of Desert Foothills Parkway and Chandler Blvd.

The closing of San Cabo brings the total number of Mexican restaurants at the intersection to two, with both Filiberto's and Loco Patron set to open soon.
