Liquor License Probation Handed to Viva Mexican Grill

Wayland Patch 5/17/11: Liquor License Probation Handed to Viva Mexican Grill. Viva Mexican Grill owner Carlos Mendez said he felt the punishment was fair that Board of Selectmen members handed down in response to his restaurant’s failure of an April 19 alcohol compliance check. Selectmen unanimously approved Wayland Police Chief Robert Irving’s recommendation of a yearlong liquor license probation for Viva beginning on May 16, 2011. From that date through May 16, 2012, any alcohol violation committed by Viva will result in an automatic five-day suspension of its liquor license. In addition, Viva must submit a roster of its employees along with proof of their TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) certification to the Wayland chief of police within 60 days of May 16. Certifications of new hires must also be delivered to the chief during the probation period.
