Dogpatch dive and cult favorite Mariposa Cafeteria has made its name on heaping piles of roast pork and oxtail stew, but now it looks like the place might be known for some less appetizing aspects, like high risk vermin infestation and unsanitary food contact surfaces.

The restaurant has been shut down by the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and according to a sign on the door, its permit has been permanently revoked after a November 19 hearing. These events will likely come as no surprise to anyone who has been to Mariposa, even its fans, like the one Yelper who declared it “the best dirty fun you can have with you clothes on.”

The closure was sparked by a November 10 routine inspection that saw Mariposa Cafe notch a score of 63. The inspector found the following violations:

High risk vermin infestation (High Risk)

Unapproved or unmaintained equipment or utensils (Low Risk)

High risk food holding temperature (High Risk)

Unclean or unsanitary food contact surfaces (High Risk)

Unclean or degraded floors walls or ceilings (Low Risk)

Inadequate and inaccessible handwashing facilities (Moderate Risk)

Improper thawing methods (Moderate Risk)

Foods not protected from contamination (Moderate Risk)

To make matters more troubling, this month’s incident was the second time this year that Mariposa flopped a health inspection. On another routine inspection on March 3, Mariposa notched a score of 69, with these violations.

Unclean or unsanitary food contact surfaces (High Risk)

High risk food holding temperature (High Risk)

Unclean or degraded floors walls or ceilings (Low Risk)

Unclean nonfood contact surfaces (Low Risk)

Improper food storage (Low Risk)

Permit license or inspection report not posted (Low Risk)

Improper storage use or identification of toxic substances (Low Risk)

High risk vermin infestation (High Risk)

The health department has yet to respond to inquiries surrounding any potential next steps — we’ll update this post as warranted — but whenever the words “permanently revoked” are involved, it’s usually not good news for the future of a restaurant.

Update, 10:30am: A spokesperson for the Department of Public Health confirms that Mariposa’s permit has been permanently revoked, and “that it happened after a series of continued violations, not just one, for a variety of high risk violations including cockroach and vermin infestation.” If the Mariposa folks or new owners want to try to reopen in that space, they would have to apply for a new permit and essentially start the entire permitting process over again.
