In a recent health inspection on April 25, 2023, Taqueria Guadalajara #8, located at 1616 Military Dr SW, scored an appalling 74, and if that wasn't bad enough, they had to endure a follow-up inspection due to their numerous violations that'll make your stomach churn. Food Gone Bad: Ever wonder what happens when food isn't cooled down properly? Well, Taqueria Guadalajara #8 showed us. Food made the day before was caught lounging at temperatures between 49°F to 78°F, far from the safe 41°F range. The solution? Toss it all out! Fridge Follies: Even their walk-in fridge couldn't escape the inspectors' watchful eyes, with temperatures ranging from 43°F to 45°F. Thankfully, they did fix the fridge, but it makes you wonder how long it was out of whack. Stacked Sins: Raw foods decided to have a little party on top of ready-to-eat foods in both the walk-in fridge and reach-in cooler. Who invited them? Pans piled on top of uncovered foods, a recipe for contamination. Glove Games: Changing gloves? Apparently, not their strong suit. They were caught red-handed not changing gloves when switching tasks and not washing hands properly. Yuck! Bare-Handed Cooks: Gloves weren't the only issue. A cook decided to get up close and personal with ready-to-eat foods using their bare hands. Double yuck! Room Temperature Roulette: Instead of properly cooling food from 135°F to 41°F, they opted for a risky game of leaving it at room temperature, covered. Spoiler alert: not safe. Thermometer Troubles: Taqueria Guadalajara #8 doesn't seem to believe in thermometers. They were missing in action, both for checking temperatures and making sure food was rapidly cooling. Personal Drinks Drama: If you enjoy your food with a side of someone's personal drink, this place has got you covered. Personal drinks were rubbing shoulders with food, and even got cozy in the refrigerators. Bottoms up? Uncovered Secrets: Food kept secrets in the walk-in fridge and cold hold units, literally. They weren't properly covered, leaving them exposed to who knows what. Thawing Thrills: Forget thawing safely; they opted for the thrill of leaving food at room temperature to thaw. The inspectors weren't impressed. Missing Report Mystery: To top it all off, their last routine inspection report was missing from public view. It's almost like they didn't want anyone to know. Taqueria Guadalajara #8 might want to consider a crash course in food safety because their recent health inspection reads like a horror story for anyone looking for a decent meal. If you were planning a visit, you might want to think twice, or maybe thrice.

In the world of restaurant health inspections, some reports can really make your stomach turn. Little Sams #4, located at 6801 New Hwy 90 W, had its fair share of eyebrow-raising discoveries during a recent inspection on April 18, 2023. With a not-so-impressive score of 76, it's time to take a closer look at what the health inspector found.

Alright, folks, hold onto your appetites because we've got a report from the recent inspection of Mi Mexico Estilo Jalisco #2 at 3110 Zarzamora St. in sunny San Antonio, TX. Brace yourselves; this isn't for the faint of heart. So, the health inspectors paid these guys a visit, and let's just say it wasn't a pretty sight. Their sanitation score? A cringe-worthy 73. Buckle up; it's about to get gross. First off, the temperature trouble. They found chicken and fajitas hanging out at balmy temperatures of 50 and 54 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. Beef fajitas? They weren't much cooler at 54 degrees. Even the poor sliced tomatoes and pico de gallo couldn't catch a break, loitering at a toasty 48 and 47 degrees Fahrenheit. Sour cream decided to join the hot party at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. You know, because who needs proper food safety? Oh, but it gets worse. It turns out foods like chorizo mexicano, that are left off-temperature and then reheated when ordered, were living on borrowed time without proper time stamps. Yikes. And when the inspection began, they caught an employee handling tortillas without gloves. Gross doesn't even cover it. Speaking of storage, they were a mess. Tortillas were cozying up in grocery-style to-go bags, which, spoiler alert, isn't how you keep food safe. Food containers? Well, they decided to have a little floor party in the walk-in cooler. Classy. Cleanliness wasn't their strong suit either. Areas like refrigeration units and dishware storage looked like they hadn't seen a sponge in ages. Gaskets and rubber seals on refrigerator doors? They were rocking a "buildup and food debris" look that's all the rage in unsanitary circles. And now, the award for the most cringe-worthy moment: pests. An opening tube along a wall near the tortilla-making area was basically an open invitation for creepy crawlies from the great outdoors. A screen? Nope, they didn't get the memo. Oh, and towels? Apparently, they have a mind of their own. They were hanging from employees' waists and making themselves comfy on food prep areas. Ew. Now, we get it, one bad day doesn't define a restaurant, but a score of 73 raises some eyebrows, to say the least. Hopefully, Mi Mexico Estilo Jalisco #2 will roll up their sleeves, fix these issues pronto, and get back on track. In the meantime, you might want to consider other dining options or a home-cooked meal. Bon appétit!

There’s something fun about walking into a restaurant that has fully embraced a time of yesteryear. You can feel like you’re in a different decade, perhaps from your childhood or maybe only from your dreams (or the movies). It lets you walk into the past and may even give you the urge to go vintage clothing shopping. Around Tucson, there aren’t all that many throwback restaurants around town, but recently, a new restaurant and nightclub opened that takes the decor of the 1950s and accents it with the pink throwback vibe of the 1990s.

Tamburro’s Italian Home has officially opened to the public. Many long-time locals can fondly remember the restaurant’s predecessors, Tamburro and Sons, and Tamburro’s Bella Notte, which was located on Glenn Avenue in downtown Trussville from 1994 to 2010.
