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.
- El Buen Taco Taqueria at 2147 Main Street, was cited for issues during a county health inspection on August 12. The restaurant scored 92 out of 100. The inspector found that food and supplies were stored in a mobile unit that is not licensed as a warehouse, which is not allowed. The restaurant was told to either get a proper license or store items only in the mobile unit. This was fixed by removing the extra storage. Also, a handwashing sink for customers was draining wastewater into an open bucket, which is unsafe. The sink was required to be properly plumbed or removed, and it was removed before the re-inspection, resolving the issue. (view report)
