The Fresno County Department of Public Health released its monthly Food Facilities Closure Report for January 2026, which included three businesses that were temporarily closed - two Mexican restaurants and a gas station market. The closures were due to issues like ownership changes, deterioration of facilities, and the need for remodeling and repairs.

Why it matters

Regular health inspections help ensure food safety and sanitation standards are met at restaurants, grocery stores, and other food facilities in Fresno County. While temporary closures can be disruptive for businesses, they are an important part of the county's efforts to protect public health.

The details

The Robertito's Taco Shop in downtown Fresno was closed following an inspection prompted by an ownership change and the deterioration of the facility. The restaurant was required to install additional electrical outlets and air conditioning before being allowed to reopen. Antonio's Mex-Express in Clovis was listed as closed due to a remodel, and later reopened under new ownership and a new name. Jack's Mart on Blackstone Avenue was closed to complete a minor remodel process, including relocating a sink.

The closures highlighted in the January report were primarily due to needed repairs, remodeling, and ownership changes, rather than major health code violations.
