Applicant’s Statement
The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.
I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I Juana L Canales Munoz was an owner at Maskadores Taco Shop at this same location. I also worked at my families liquor establishments in the past. I have never violated the liquor laws. I removed myself from the previous ownership as I had too many responsibilities at the time raising my child who is now an adult. I am looking forward to owning and operating this business with my father (part owner of the restaurant). I may in the future apply for a Use Permit to include the outdoor patio. No one is allowed there now.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“This is a well known Taco Shop to the community. Many customers enjoy consuming an alcoholic beverage with their food. The primary purpose of the establishment is a restaurant. Typically customers consume their food and beverage and leave within less than 60 minutes. We have received both AZ basic and management liquor law training and have trained our staff to be knowledgable in AZ liquor laws so they recognize intoxicated customers or invalid identification.”
