Restaurant Viva Jalisco in Norcross failed a routine health inspection with violations of employee practices and food temperatures.

The inspector said the manager ate in the kitchen during a busy lunchtime operation instead of at a designated area away from customer food.

And another employee was washing dishes without using sanitizer.

Cold-holding beef, fish, chicken, mozzarella cheese and vegetables were discarded because temperatures were too high. The walk-in cooler was out of temperature range.

The Mexican restaurant at 7131 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard scored 65/U, down from 86/B earned in 2021.

Among other violations, cans of Raid insecticide for residential use were on the food preparation table and near the food-slicing machine.

Some canned goods were severely damaged and needed discarding. The microwave had an accumulation of food debris.

Restaurant Viva Jalisco will be re-inspected.
