Questions about NUEVO AMANECER CAFE:

When was their last inspection? Their thanksgiving paletas were awaiting customer pickup while sitting on tables and not heated. Ours was rotting by dinner time and covered in maggots. I am now very concerned for our family's health since we all are before realizing the pork had gone bad.
