Inspectors found several food safety violations during the July 1, 2026 inspection. Significant violations included cold foods such as cheese tamales, shredded cheese, turkey hot dogs, parmesan cheese, pancake mix with milk and eggs, and refried beans being held above the required cold temperature. The manager discarded about 20 pounds of food, and a citation was issued. Inspectors also found no chlorine test kit for checking dish machine sanitizer strength, which was cited as a significant food safety violation.

Other findings included a black mold-like substance inside the ice machine, gaps at exterior doors that could allow pests to enter, boxes and containers stored on the floor, and a low-temperature dish machine missing its manufacturer data plate. Inspectors also noted plumbing leaks, no cold water pressure at one basement handwashing sink, missing grout between floor tiles, and grease buildup on hood filters.
