Two Dallas restaurants failed during the Jan. 18-31 round of health inspections, and another establishment was temporarily closed after receiving a low score, according to data from the city compiled by the Star-Telegram.
Dallas food establishments are scored on a 100-point system that is different from Fort Worth. A range of 100-90 is considered very good. Anything under 60 is unacceptable and requires closure and inspection before reopening.
Ceviche Loco Seafood Restaurant at 7861 Lake June Road scored 55 on Jan. 29 and was temporarily closed. The inspector noted fruit flies throughout the kitchen, overflowing floor drains, heavily dented cans and employees who failed to wash their hands.
Local Tap and Table at 3333 Harry Hines Blvd. received a failing score of 65 on Jan. 31. The inspector found mildew inside the ice machine, nearly two-week old chicken stored in one of the coolers and mold on boxes in one of the storage areas.
Pho Midway at 17610 Midway Road also failed the inspection with a score of 67 on Jan. 22. Shrimp was held at an unsafe temperature, food debris and black dirt were found inside the ice machine and a pot of food was stored on the floor.
All failing restaurants require a follow-up inspection within 10 days. Establishments that score between 79 and 70 pass but also require a follow-up inspection.
Fireside Chicken And Tacos at 18110 Midway Road scored 70 on Jan. 23. The inspector found moldy tomatoes in the cooler, green slime on the ice chute and some foods without a date marking.
Scrambler Cafe at 18208 Preston Road scored 71 on Jan. 21. Raw eggs were left at room temperature, some cans were badly dented and there was food debris on the can opener. The inspector also observed a roach underneath the grill.
Taqueria Express at 1909 S. Cesar Chavez Blvd. scored 71 on Jan. 22. Raw beef was stored over raw vegetables, the ice machine was dirty and there was no thermometer in the reach-in cooler.
Faye’s Fusion at 1011 Corinth St. scored 72 on Jan. 21. Raw meat was stored at an unsafe temperature, some food was stored on the floor and the vent hood filter system was dirty.
Feng Shui at 2355 Olive St. scored 72 on Jan. 22. The inspector noted pink mildew in the ice machine, fruit flies in the bar and chicken at an unsafe temperature.
Shin Chon Market and Foodcourt at 11422 Harry Hines Blvd. scored 76 on Jan. 29. Raw meat was stored above the vegetables in the freezer, some employee food was stored with the establishment’s food and the back storage area needed to be cleaned.
Roaches were found at two other establishments in addition to Scrambler Cafe.
Maroche’s Bakery and Party at 1227 W. Davis St. scored 83 on Jan. 22. There was no certified food manager on site during the inspection and a dead roach was found in the storage area.
