SUMMARY: Federal court records reveal an IRS investigation into two Central Kentucky restaurants, Mi Pequeña Hacienda locations in Lexington and Nicholasville, accused of underreporting millions in sales from 2019 to 2023. IRS agents found credit card deposits alone exceeded reported gross revenue during multiple years, with the Nicholasville site allegedly understating receipts by $758,000 and the Lansdowne Drive site by $1.6 million, totaling $2.35 million in unreported sales.

No charges have been filed yet.
