12130 N. Dove Mountain Blvd.
History: Good and excellent ratings for several years but was placed on probation Aug. 15, then failed an initial follow-up inspection Aug. 27. Also failed a second follow-up inspection on Sept. 6.
What the inspector saw: Lasagna, raw shrimp and chicken, salad mix and cut tomatoes were stored at unsafe temperatures; dirty equipment and utensils were stored as clean; food debris on plates stored as clean; cutting boards not sanitized every four hours as required; food debris buildup on refrigerator shelves; floors and walls had “encrusted grease, food debris and buildup” and still hadn’t been cleaned three weeks after inspectors identified the problem.
Follow-up: A third follow-up inspection is scheduled for Sept. 17 and the restaurant’s operating permit could be revoked if it doesn’t pass, the most recent inspection report said.
