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.
- Torero’s Family Mexican Rest at 5705 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on September 2. The restaurant received a score of 97 out of 100. The inspector found that some menu items with raw or undercooked animal ingredients, like huevos rancheros with soft yolks and top sirloin steak, were missing the required asterisks and consumer advisory warning about foodborne illness risks. The restaurant was required to immediately add clear warnings on the menu, including asterisks and a statement explaining the risks of eating raw or undercooked animal foods. This issue was corrected by the reinspection on 9-3-2025, with the menu now properly marked and the advisory included. (view report)
