A Mexican restaurant in Smyrna failed a recent inspection, according to Cobb County health department records.

Los Bravos Mexican Restaurant No. 7, at 4480 South Cobb Drive, scored a 67 on its Monday health check. Any score below a 70 is considered failing.

The restaurant was cited in part because the thermometer of its walk-in cooler was showing it was too warm.

Junior Lemus, a manager, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday that the refrigerator has been fixed.

The inspector also cited the eatery because of “a slicer with old food debris and two pitchers at the bar with sticky residue on the interior and exterior surface.”

Lemus apologized and said it was “very upsetting that it happened.”
