Restaurant inspections

County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.

  • Burrito Amigos #42 at 201 42nd St. was cited for issues during a county health inspection on July 27. The restaurant received a score of 95 out of 100. The inspector found that the glass-door refrigerator was not keeping potentially hazardous foods cold enough, with temperatures between 54 and 59°F instead of 41°F or below. The restaurant cleaned the refrigerator and moved foods back just before inspection, so the issue was corrected during a reinspection. The refrigerator was adjusted or repaired and is now properly maintaining food at safe temperatures of 41°F or below. (view report)
