Taco Bell is an international chain of fast food restaurants serving Tex-Mex cuisine. Owned by Yum! Brands.

The inspectors found insects in the restaurant. More than 100 live larvae were in standing water on the floor and in the food preparation line next to the nacho chip holder. The inspection found a dead fly on the shelf of a soda machine in the restaurant hall.

Dead cockroaches were found in the hall at the counter next to the cash terminal.

Taco Bell employees worked without caps, which is a gross violation of sanitary standards. It was recorded that a restaurant employee drank a drink from an unclosed container directly on the food preparation line in the dishwashing area.

Another staff member, after using the bathroom, prepared food, handled clean equipment and utensils, touched unpackaged disposables without washing his hands upon returning to the staff area. He also returned to work from the restroom and busied himself making drinks without washing his hands. He also touched his face and hair and then busied himself preparing drinks without washing his hands or wearing gloves.

A certified food manager at Taco Bell was unaware of foodborne illness and disease symptoms that could prevent an employee from handling food, clean equipment and utensils, and single service items.

All these violations led to the closure of the restaurant.
