Dead mice on glue trap found in latest Dallas health inspections

Three Dallas restaurants failed inspection and rodents and roaches were found at others, according to the city’s latest health inspection report.

The report compiled by the Star-Telegram contains city data from Oct. 19 through Nov. 1 and 389 inspections.

Dallas’ restaurant inspections function on a 100-point system. A score of 100 is considered to be very good and a score of 69 is considered failing, with a follow-up inspection required in 10 days or closure.

Three restaurants failed inspection:

  • El Pulpo Restaurant, 2829 W. Northwest Highway, had a score of 66
  • Egg Roll Hut, 4509 Columbia Ave., had a score of 67
  • La Hacienda Ranch, 17390 Preston Road, had a score of 68

Inspectors noted issues with rodents at two businesses:

  • Fair Park Grocery LLC, 2203 Lagow St., had a score of 70. Inspectors observed rodent droppings in the kitchen area and dead mice on a glue trap.
  • Grand City Groceries, 3026 Grand Ave., had a score of 92. Inspectors found “lots” of rodent droppings in the kitchen.

Roaches were observed at six locations:

  • Together Forever Business Corp / World Kitchen, 4515 Village Fair Drive, had a score of 59. Roaches were present in the reach-in cooler, on the floors and in the walk-in cooler near food.
  • Lil Vee’s Bbq, 4353 Gannon Lane, had a score of 80. Roaches were observed in the dry storage room.
  • Gabriela & Sofia’s Tex-Mex, 10455 North Central Expressway, had a score of 83. Roaches were observed on the prep and storage lines.
  • Inagu, 10788 Harry Hines Blvd., had a score of 86. Inspectors observed roaches.
  • Trees, 2709 Elm St., had a score of 89. Roaches were seen in the restrooms.
  • Timbers Beverage, 18611 Marsh Lane, had a score of 93. Inspectors observed a roach inside a dirty microwave.

Here are the inspection scores and violations for restaurants within the city limits of Dallas for Oct. 19th - Nov. 1st, 2025. A score of 100 is a perfect score and 70 is considered to be extremely poor. Scores below 80 require a re-inspection, and below 60 require closure and inspection before reopening.
