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.
- La Reina Del Sazon at 4301 Main Street, was cited for issues during a county health inspection on June 1. The restaurant scored 92 out of 100. During the inspection, a handwashing sink was blocked by a bucket and cloth, preventing proper use; this was fixed immediately, and staff were reminded to keep sinks clear and only use them for handwashing. Raw meats were initially stored above ready-to-eat foods, risking contamination, but were rearranged correctly during the inspection. Additionally, some containers with food powders were unlabeled; staff were instructed to clearly label all food containers removed from original packaging to ensure proper identification.

Note on today’s report: Some of the incidents listed are not recent. This can happen for a couple of reasons: Delays in agency reporting — sometimes officials don’t file reports right away, or agencies release batches of reports weeks later. Delays in public complaints — people may not notice or decide to contact police until some time after an incident. Please contact the responsible law-enforcement agency or your local elected officials if you have concerns about their delay in releasing information.
