Was there in the mid '80s. Hell hole back then, couldn't leave the hotel grounds without an escort. Never got to taste true island cuisine, not that there was much.
Cafe des Artistes is going to be Dos Amigos.

Looks great, but really pricey.
Different Antigua..and I know the one you are referring to. I've found a lot of Caribbean islands to be ####holes. Guadaloupe comes to quickly mind..
Here is the one in Guatemala:

Ah. Tanks.
Me too!
Thanks for sharing, their menus look great and I don't think the prices are out of line if the food is great

Well, thank the Dems with their open Borders. I wonder if we can go to Mexico to get American food? McDonalds maybe.

Most Mexican here is missing cheap hotdogs boiled potatoes and scrambled eggs in your fajitas.
And a sh!tload of hot sauce.

The last time I was in Guadalupe the local ladies were topless..
But for the most part is was like looking at a National Geographic...
You know you have a class act when they can't pass the health inspection out of the gate.
Just think how bad the place will be after they actually cook in it.
How bad did the previous establishment leave it?
But they've had time, without being open, to clean and make repairs.
That's my point. The place was vacant, they should have known what they were getting into and been prepared.
What does it say to you that they couldn't get it done. What are they going to do when they are open for business?

I would be hard pressed to say that. Maybe something stupid was overlooked due to non-experience, or maybe a real cranky inspector. I'll reserve judgement.
I agree. The previous tenants did a heck of a lot of cleaning and renovation, too. They were open for less than a year. Did they never keep it clean after their initial opening?
Does not matter what the previous tenant did or did not do. If you don't like the looks of a place, you walk away. You don't arrange for an inspection if you aren't ready.
They F'd up.

I'm not defending them.
It might not be a cleaning issue. It could be electrical or refrigeration problems. Could be drainage.
True.
This could be any type of infraction. Perhaps some structural issue and not necessarily a cleaning problem.

Have to remember this is an old, old building. Sometimes a business can be almost "grandfathered" in, but when tenants change hands all kinds of little things have to be brought up to code. Could be something as simple as having the new "open" sink drain or grease traps, having plastic light covers over fluorescent tubes, commercial equipment. No way to tell. Having dealt with the HD, one inspector is very different from another and can make life a pain over what amount to small potatoes. They give you a list and say they'll be back in 2 weeks.
