SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 Roaches, rotting food and dirty floors are among the health code violations found in some San Antonio restaurants and grocery stores, health records show.<\/p>\n

Behind the Kitchen Door<\/a> is a series where KSAT investigates health inspections of San Antonio restaurants. <\/p>\n

Here is a roundup for this edition:<\/p>\n

Taqueria Jalisco 13<\/b><\/p>\n

What inspectors found inside Taqueria Jalisco during a June 26 inspection made a customer walk out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s nasty,\u201d he told KSAT.<\/p>\n

Metro Health found nine infractions, giving the restaurant an 82.<\/p>\n

KSAT wanted to know if the Mexican restaurant cleaned up its act.<\/p>\n

Employees told us there was no manager available.<\/p>\n

We asked about the dead water cockroaches and live German cockroaches that inspectors found inside the restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in this taqueria?\u201d asked the employee. \u201cTaqueria Jalisco?\u201d<\/p>\n

KSAT confirmed and showed the employee that the report was about that taqueria, located at 6010 Old Pearsall.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, according to the inspection, received a written warning for having an improperly sealed back door.<\/p>\n

In a pantry, an inspector found moldy jalape\u00f1os and tomatoes as well as food rotting on the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you read this report, would you eat at this restaurant?\u201d asked KSAT reporter Daniela Ibarra.<\/p>\n

The employee said that she would because she knew what went on in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Metro Health ordered a reinspection for July.<\/p>\n

Man Pasand Supermarket #7<\/b><\/p>\n

The restaurant, located at 3727 Colony Drive, made a return appearance on Behind the Kitchen Door <\/a>after inspectors stopped by on July 1.<\/p>\n

This time, inspectors found 17 violations, resulting in a score of 71 for the grocery store.<\/p>\n

Throughout the store, a Metro Health inspector noted dirty walls and floors, along with dead and live pests.<\/p>\n

The manager told KSAT they\u2019ve called out pest control.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the issues that the inspector found is that an employee was using a rag to clean off a knife between chicken and goat,\u201d Ibarra said. \u201cIs that acceptable?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, at that time maybe he forgot to maybe change,\u201d the manager replied.<\/p>\n
