Proper hot holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
3-501.16(A)(1); Priority; Black beans (111F) and queso (122F) in hot holding unit found holding at incorrect temperatures. Maintain TCS foods in hot holding at 135F or above. CDI- Food was rapidly reheated to a temperature above 165F on the stove.
In plain English
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.

Insects & rodents not present; no unauthorized animals
Inspector’s notes
6-202.13; Core; Bug light mounted on wall stored above metro shelving holding clean food containers and utensils. Insect control devices shall be installed so that dead insects and insect fragments are prevented from being impelled onto or falling on exposed food; clean equipment; utensils; and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles. Relocate bug light to an area that does not pose a risk of contamination. *Points will be deducted on future inspections if violation persists.
In plain English
The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.

In plain English
Floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, ventilation, or garbage areas needed repair or cleaning. These are usually less urgent than food-handling problems but still need to be fixed.
