Steakhouse fails, taco shop requires follow up in Arlington restaurant inspections
One Arlington restaurant failed its health inspection and one was required to submit to a follow-up inspection after health inspectors found problems in the establishments between Oct. 17 to Oct. 23, according to data from the city compiled by the Star-Telegram.
Saltgrass Steakhouse on Lamar Boulevard failed with a score of 69 out of 100 from an inspection on Oct. 19, according to the data. Gilberto’s Taco Shop on East Abram Street was required to have a follow-up inspection after it received a 74 out of 100 on Oct. 21.
Arlington does not list the reasons for the demerits against restaurants inspected and the city’s health services, which handles inspections, did not immediately reply to a request for information.
Arlington grades restaurants on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being a perfect score. A score of 70 is considered to be extremely poor, but restaurants that have serious health code violations or that inspectors deem needing a follow-up inspection can be required to have one, no matter the score.
No restaurants inspected during this period received a perfect score.
