Inspector’s notes
Observed cotija cheese on the prep table holding at 72F. Per discussion with the Person In Charge, the cheese is being used as a working portion. The quantity of cheese left at room temperature was too large to be considered a working portion. Other practices were discussed during the inspection, including reducing the amount of food kept out as a working portion or implementing Time as a Public Health Control.

Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
