Overall date marking on potentially hazardous foods in the facility is very good but in the walk-in cooler, chorizo is made and hung to dry for about 3 days before it goes out into the case for sale. During inspection, the chorizo was not labeled with the preparation or discard date. Because the chorizo is potentially hazardous and kept for more than 24 hours after preparation, it needs to be date marked. A tag or label could be used on the rack where the chorizo is dried, since it is not put into a container.

In the restrooms, the water is reaching above 100F but only when both sinks are turned on. The in-line heater is not being triggered to turn on with only one sink running. Hot water at handsinks must always be supplied at 100F or greater. Have the heaters checked. If needed, add a heater at each sink and/or increase the flow to the sinks to increase demand on heaters because the heaters are only triggered by demand from the sinks.

During inspection, temperatures were taken on the chicken and carnitas being hot held and cooled near the tortillaria. During initial permitting, this area was permitted in conjunction with the meat market, however, meat preparation and dish washing are now being done through the restaurant next door which is operated by the same owners are the meat market. Spoke with manager, Osvaldo Flores during inspection and confirmed that they would prefer to handle and prepare the chicken and carnitas and wash utensils and equipment through the restaurant. In the future, this area will be inspected as part of the restaurant inspection. Food may be supplied to this area and the restaurant from the meat market but future handling and preparation of any and all food products should be done through the restaurant, Taqueria El Toro. A service request for Plan Review modification of the permit needs to be filled out and submitted in order to officially change the permit.
