A Mexican restaurant in Marietta has failed its recent health inspection with a dirty kitchen, according to Cobb County health department records.
Casanova Mexican Restaurant, 1651 Powder Springs Road, scored a 62 on its Wednesday health check. Any score below a 70 is considered failing.
When The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the restaurant Monday, a person who identified themselves as a manger but refused to give their name, said they didn’t want to comment about the failure. The line disconnected shortly after.
