Boulder City’s Beverage Licensing Authority (BLA) has taken decisive action following a recent compliance check that revealed serious violations at El Taco Imperial de Laxcala. During the meeting on June 21, 2025, it was confirmed that the establishment unlawfully served alcohol to two underage operatives on April 4, 2025.

Officer Leah Rek provided credible testimony, stating that the operatives were served alcoholic beverages without being asked for identification. This failure to verify the age of patrons raises significant concerns about the establishment's adherence to alcohol licensing regulations. BLA members emphasized the expectation that licensed venues must check IDs before serving alcohol, highlighting the importance of responsible service in protecting the community.

The implications of this decision are clear: the BLA is committed to enforcing compliance and ensuring that local businesses uphold the law. As the authority moves forward, it will be crucial for El Taco Imperial de Laxcala and other establishments to implement stricter ID-checking protocols to prevent future violations and safeguard public health and safety.
