Correction: Ensure wet wiping cloths are stored in a chemical sanitizer at the proper concentration between use.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Hot Holding* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: Refried beans on the food prep. steam table and chicken legs and fajita mix on the hot bar are hot holding at improper temperatures.
Correction: Rapidly reheat the food to 165°F and maintain at 135°F or above through the hot holding period.

Correction: Mark the name and "consume by" date on the container of RTE foods at the time of preparation if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours. If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days. Some harmful bacteria continue to grow even at refrigeration temperatures so limiting the amount of time in storage limits the amount of growth allowed for these bacteria.
- Equipment and Utensils - Multiuse, Characteristics
Observation: The food contact surface of the lava rock bowls are not durable, nonabsorbent, easily cleanable, resistant to pitting.
Correction: Replace the lava rock bowls with a different serving platter that will permit easy cleaning and prevent the migration of deleterious substances, or transference of colors, odors, or tastes to food.
- Critical: Equipment - Food Contact Surfaces, Nonfood Contact Surfaces, and Utensils* (corrected on site)
Observation: The following equipment food-contact surfaces were observed soiled to sight and touch: commercial can opener, prep. tables, and cutting boards.
Correction: Clean and sanitize these surfaces for food contact.
- Non-Food Contact Surfaces
Observation: The nonfood contact surface of the refrigeration units has accumulations of grime and debris.
Correction: Clean the surface at a frequency necessary to preclude accumulation of soil residues that become encrusted or attract insects and rodents.
- Outer Openings - Protected
Observation: Outer opening of the food establishment in the kitchen is not protected against entry of insects and rodents.
Correction: Protect the food establishment against the entry of insects and rodents by 1. Filling or closing holes and other gaps along floors, walls, and ceilings, 2. Closed, tight fitting windows, and 3. Solid, self-closing, tight-fitting doors. Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces.
- Outer Openings - Protected
Correction:
- Handwashing Cleanser - Availability
Observation: Soap was not provided at the hand washing lavatory at the server's station.
Correction: Hand soap must be provided at all hand washing lavatories to encourage proper hand washing. Hand cleanser must always be present to aid in reducing microorganisms and particulate matter found on hands.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: Floors and walls in the walk-in cooler and throughout the kitchen/food prep area are in need of cleaning.
Correction: All floors, walls, and ceilings must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them clean. Cleaning of the physical facilities is an important measure in ensuring the protection and sanitary preparation of food. A regular cleaning schedule should be established and followed to maintain the facility in a clean and sanitary manner.
- Mops - Drying Mops
Observation: Mops not hung up to air dry.
Correction: Wet use maintenance items such as mops must be hung in a position that allows them to air dry so they are not allowed to grow contamination which can then be spread through the establishment at the next use.

The PIC has corrected all violations. The walk-in cooler has been reorganized to provide separation of raw animal foods from RTE foods as well as raw vegetables. The PIC has also placed placards in the food prep area to help train other food handlers about the correct hot and cold holding temps as well as cooking temperatures. The cold holding salad bar table has also been fixed and food is being cold held around 35'F at the time of this inspection. Menus have also been amended to reflect a consumer advisory for raw or undercooked foods prepared to a customers request.
