Moldy food, 30 live roaches found in inspections

Four Plano restaurants were temporarily closed by health inspectors for violations including moldy food, roaches and other unsanitary conditions, according to city records.

There were 125 restaurant inspections between April 13 and April 26, according to the city’s restaurant inspection data compiled by the Star-Telegram.

Plano’s inspection data is on a 100-point system. A score of 100 is a perfect score and 70 is considered to be extremely poor.

Each restaurant or other location that serves food receives between one and four routine inspections per year.

Four restaurants were closed for imminent health hazards during this inspection cycle, according to the city’s inspection reports.

The restaurant received a score of 66.

Two restaurants, El Fenix at 810 N. Central Expressway Ste 100 and Express India at 3393 N. Central Expressway Ste 100, were temporarily closed due to lack of hot water in both establishments.

Both restaurants have re-opened after the hot water issue was corrected.

There were 20 follow-up inspections during this cycle.
