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.
- Taqueria El Trenecito at 1505 Main St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on Oct. 19. The restaurant scored 82 out of 100. Inspectors found raw foods stored improperly, with raw chicken and meat placed above ready-to-eat foods, risking contamination. Personal foods were also stored above public food items. Some cooked foods and milk were kept at unsafe temperatures (46-48°F), above the required 41°F or below 135°F. Additionally, ready-to-eat foods stored over 24 hours lacked proper date labels. Corrective actions included reorganizing food storage to prevent contamination, fixing the refrigerator to maintain safe temperatures, discarding unsafe foods, and properly date-marking all prepared foods. All issues were corrected during reinspection. (view report)
- Tall Firs Cafe And Events at 1488 18th St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on Oct. 21. The restaurant scored 92 out of 100. Inspectors found that milk and other foods in a kitchen refrigerator were kept at 44°F, which is too warm for safety, so foods stored over 4 hours were discarded; this was fixed by the reinspection with temperatures corrected to 41°F or below. Also, the restaurant’s menu lacked proper warnings about raw or undercooked animal foods, which is required by Oregon law; this was corrected by adding an asterisk and clear disclosure on the menu to inform customers of potential risks.

- Sonny’s Tavern at 533 Q St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on Oct. 25. The restaurant scored 92 out of 100. The inspector found cooked taco meat was not cooled properly and was discarded; chemicals were stored in unlabeled spray bottles, which were then labeled; wet wiping cloths were left on counters instead of being stored in sanitizer solution; and several racks in the walk-in fridge were rusted and need repair or replacement. All issues were corrected during the inspection. (view report)
