During a routine health inspection at Oaxaca Tacos & Tequila Bar in Lawrenceville, multiple foods were discarded because they were at unsafe temperatures.
These included cold-holding items such as several different cheeses, cabbage, sliced tomatoes and brisket, and also hot foods like corn, chicken soup and tomatoes with cream sauce.
The restaurant scored 47/U, dropping from its previous score of 85/B earned a year ago.
Among other violations, raw shrimp were improperly thawing inside a large plastic container and were not cooling fast enough to prevent contamination.
In coolers, sauces were above raw steaks and hamburger patties, and unwashed mangoes were above ready-to-eat foods.
The ice machine was dirty with black build-up, and the soda gun had moldy build-up. The can opener had grime on its blade and holster.
Multiple one-gallon plastic food containers were stacked while still wet.
Oaxaca Tacos & Tequila Bar, 1760 Old Norcross Road, will be re-inspected.
