Observations and corrective actions 3 Observed fried Asparagus, stored inside of the small shot hold/ warming rack with temperatures ranging from 126 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 128 F. Ensure that hot Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods have an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or higher when they are within hot holds, warming racks, steam tables, ovens, and steamers. If the hot TCS food item is out of temperature for more than four (4) hours, then it MUST be discarded immediately. The Certified Food Manager (CFM) noticed that the dial was on a low heat setting, so they turned it up to raise the internal temperatures above 135 F. Ensure the following: 3-501.16(A)(1) Hot Hold (135°F or higher). Correct By: 02/27/2026 Correct by 02/27/2026 18 Observed Quaternary Ammonium sanitizer in a red sanitizer bucket (near the Walk-In Cooler) with a high concentration of 500 Parts Per Million (PPM). These concentrations are NEEDED to effectively sanitize food-contact surfaces and nonfood-contact surfaces. If the concentrations are too high, then the sanitizers shall contaminate the food-contact surfaces of cutting boards and food-contact table surfaces in the kitchen since it is considered toxic. If the concentration is too low, then the surfaces shall not be disinfected, and the growth of pathogenic microorganisms shall contaminate the next food item that is placed. The CFM shall have to get their sanitizer dispenser technician come out and adjust the dispenser so that it dispenses 200 to 400 PPM. Ensure the following: 7-204.11 Sanitizers, criteria. Correct By: 02/27/2026 Correct by 02/27/2026 28 Observed two medium containers of seasoned raw Chicken tenders with Use By dates of 02/20/2026 and 02/23/26. Today is 02/24/26. Observed a large container of raw Chicken mislabeled as Potato Soup with a Use By of 02/25. The CFM stated that all three were mislabeled since the chicken was prepped yesterday. The CFM had a Food Handler remove the incorrect date labels and place new ones that were accurate. Ensure that any Time/ Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) food or beverages, such as cooked TCS food that has cooled down, raw foods that have been modified, sauces or salsas prepared on site, and any cut/ sliced fruits or vegetables, stored within the establishment are given a preparation date and a Use-By date. The Use-By date has up to twenty-four (24) hours to be labeled on the container from the time it is placed inside a cold hold unit. The TCS food item or beverage MUST be discarded after seven days at the end of the shift (7 days: day of preparation and six days after that). Ensure that the dates are correct. Failure to place accurate sticker date labels on the TCS food again shall result in food being discarded, no questions shall be asked. Ensure the following: 3-501.17(A) Date marking prepare on site RTE/ TCS food. 3-501.17(B) Date marking commercially prepared RTE/ TCS food. 36 Observed a sanitizer towel resting on a kitchen preparation table (outside of the red sanitizer bucket). Ensure that all sanitizer towels, used to wipe down cutting boards and food-contact surfaces, are stored in a Quaternary Ammonium solution that has an approved concentration of 200 to 400 Parts Per Million (PPM) between uses. Leaving the sanitizer towel out of the bucket shall allow bacteria to multiply and grow on the sanitizer towel. If the cloth is very dirty, then it MUST be placed in a hamper assigned for heavily soiled cloths/ rags. Ensure the following: 3-304.14(B)(1) Cloths in-use for wiping between uses stored.

Ensure that all kitchen plumbing maintains an air gap of at least one inch (1”) above the horizontal plane of the floor. If the diameter of the pipe is larger than one inch, then the air gap is double the diameter (example: A kitchen pipe that has a diameter of two inches NEEDS an air gap of at least four inches above the kitchen floor). This shall prevent contamination of the plumbing lines in the event of a sewage backflow. This rule applies to restaurant grade hoses or plumbing that comes from appliances such as Walk-In Coolers, ice machines, and cold holds. The pipes can be cut at an angle to ensure that the discarded water still flows into the floor drain. * Continue to ensure that all cold holds, coolers, refrigerators, mini fridges, freezers, and walk-in coolers have a thermometer that is calibrated, accurate, easily accessible, easily readable, durable, and in good repair. The thermometer MUST be placed in the warmest part of the refrigerator (near the door where warm air goes in) so that food handlers can check if the cold hold is not working correctly (keeping the food temperatures at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (F), and 32 F for freezers). Do NOT allow the thermometer to be pushed to the back of the fridge. * Please go online and download and print out the new Food Allergen poster REQUIRED by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Every food service establishment must post a food allergy awareness poster in an area of the establishment that is regularly accessible to the establishment’s food service employees. The poster must include information about: Risks of an allergic reaction to a food allergen Symptoms of an allergic reaction A list of major food allergens, as determined by the FDA, and Appropriate responses for assisting an individual who is having an allergic reaction. Establishments MUST comply by September 01, 2024. * * The inspector instructed the establishment staff to go online and print out signage that states “No Smoking and No Vaping”. The signage should also have the universal No Smoking illustration along with the No Vaping illustration. The signage MUST be posted at the front door of the establishment. The inspector showed the staff how to look it up online on the COSA website. * Inspector: Marco Ramirez · Corrected on site: 1 · Repeat violations: 0

Ensure that all food-contact surfaces are Washed, Rinsed, and Sanitized so that there is no leftover food debris or stains that can harbor pathogenic bacteria. Leftover food debris, unidentifiable substances, and bacteria can contaminate the next food or beverage the food-contact dish or utensil encounters. If food debris is still seen after being sanitized, then the dishwasher MUST Wash, Rinse, and Sanitize the dish again. The kitchen staff should soak the dirty containers in hot soapy water that has temperatures above 110 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (helps remove the grease, oil, and any leftover baked food with ease. Ensure the following: 4-601.11(A) Food-contact surfaces clean to sight and touch. 19 Observed that the two black hoses below the handwash sink located to the right of the beverage dispensing machines were going inside of the floor drain.

Ensure that all kitchen plumbing maintains an air gap of at least one inch (1”) above the kitchen floor of the establishment or above a raised funnel drain. If the diameter of the pipe is larger than one inch, then the air gap is double the diameter (example: A kitchen pipe that has a diameter of two inches NEEDS an air gap of at least four inches above the kitchen floor). This shall prevent contamination of the plumbing lines in the event of a sewage backflow. This rule applies to restaurant grade hoses or plumbing that comes from appliances such as ice machines and cold holds. The pipes can be cut at an angle to ensure that the discarded water still flows into the floor drain. Ensure the following: 5-202.13 Backflow prevention, air gap. Correct By: 09/19/2025 Correct by 09/19/2025 29 Observed that the dish washing machine was a heat-treating machine. The staff did NOT have heat testing strips on site or a thermometer that can be run through the machine along with the dishes to record the hot water sanitization temperatures. Ensure that dish washing machines are reaching high enough hot water temperatures so that it can eliminate any pathogens that remain on the dish and utensil surfaces. With this dish washing machine the Rinse cycle should reach a MINIMUM temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and should NOT go over 194 F. The thermometer on the dish washing machine was reading between 150 and 160 F. The staff shall be REQUIRED to purchase heat testing strips or the black puck thermometer that can go through the machine’s cycles. Ensure the following: 4-204.115(A) Ware washing machine shall be equipped with a temperature measuring device that indicates the temperature of the water in each wash and rinse tank. 4-204.115(B) Ware washing machine equipped with temperature measuring device water enters the hot water sanitizing final rinse manifold/chemical sanitizing solution tank.
