CASE NO. 2025-004 <br />n the Matter of the Accusation Against Patricio's Mexican Taqueria, Inc., <br />dba Patricio's Mexican Taqueria #2, located at the Matsuyama Center, <br />73-4038 B Huliko`a Drive, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. <br />Informal Hearing (Alternative II) in violation of Rule 3-1(S) of the Rules and <br />Regulations of the Liquor Commission of the Department of Liquor Control <br />of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, for purchasing, acquiring and/or <br />selling liquor from other than a licensed wholesaler or manufacturer. <br />Fuke: At first, we were going to call the licensee and representative, but we were just handed <br />a notice from the owner Mr. Mitchell stating that he would not be able to attend. He extended <br />his apologies and at the same time noted that this was their only violation and he's taking <br />corrective action. So, having said that then, Ms. Frenz, would you be in a position to read the <br />complaint and the accusation? <br />Frenz: Yes, Chair. The complaint and accusation states the following, on or about the 1st day <br />of December 2024, in the County and State of Hawaii, the Licensee, Patricio's Mexican <br />Taqueria, Inc., dba Patricio's Mexican Taqueria #2, did purchase, acquire and/or sell liquor <br />from other than a licensed wholesaler or manufacturer, in violation of Rule 3-1(S) of the Rules <br />and Regulations of the Liquor Commission of the Department of Liquor Control of the County <br />of Hawaii, State of Hawaii. <br />In this case as you've already indicated, Chair, it's an informal hearing, the licensee did select <br />Alternative II, admitting to the allegations before this Board, waiving its right to a formal hearing <br />and appeal, requesting an informal hearing to present facts and circumstances about the <br />violation, and that is the written correspondence that was provided to everybody today and the <br />Department received it this morning. <br />Fuke: Thank you very much, Ms. Frenz. Board Members, do you have any questions or <br />discussion regarding the complaint and accusation? <br />There was no discussion by Board Members. <br />Fuke: If not, is there a motion to find the Licensee in violation of the charge? <br />Raymond: So moved. <br />Hughes: Second. <br />Board Member Raymond moved to find the Licensee in Case No. <br />2025-004 in violation of Rule 3-1(S) of the Rules and Regulations of <br />the Liquor Commission of the Department of Liquor Control of the <br />County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii, for purchasing, acquiring and/or <br />selling liquor from other than a licensed wholesaler or manufacturer; <br />Seconded by Board Member Hughes. <br />MINUTES - LIQUOR ADJUDICATION BOARD MEETING - THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2025 - HILO PAGE 3 OF 29 <br />
