La Mexicana on North 2nd Street in McAllen was temporarily shut down for unsanitary health practices. 
               
The restaurant was featured on Food 4 Thought as a dirty diner in the past. 
               
Kitchen cops found 34 demerits and took plenty of dirty photos inside the kitchen. 
               
Only the Food Patrol is revealing the filth, which included a microwave oven that appeared to be never cleaned.
