47 Health Code Violations For Lufkin Mexican Food Favorite

Eating out is all about trust. You have to trust that the cooks in the kitchen are preparing your food in a way that meets or exceeds health code standards. The Angelina County and Cities Health District upholds these standards by visiting kitchens around the county.

This report is from August. I have heard people's complaints about the delay in the inspections compared to when we report on them.

That is a policy of the local health district, and we produce these as soon as they are made available. The Lufkin Daily News published this report on November 2, 2024.

The violations below were not bad enough to cause a closure, so I assume they fixed most of these issues after being inspected. Here is the official report, along with 7 other newly released inspections from August.
