Taco spot, movie theater, other local restaurant cited in this week's Restaurant Report

Your health and safety is the reason Action News Jax investigative reporter Ben Becker goes out every week to get you answers about the places you love to eat. In this week’s original Restaurant Report, Becker visits a popular restaurant known for its eclectic tacos:

At Flying Iguana in Neptune Beach, state inspectors found an employee touching ready-to-eat food with their bare hands, a mold-like substance in an ice machine and potentially hazardous food temperatures.

When Becker visited the restaurant and questioned how that could happen, the general manager responded, ”Human error, not keeping an eye on what’s going on as well as we should.” The health inspector has since returned and “everything has been good,” the general manager said.

TRENDING: 

The Original Tunis Seafood & Chicken on 103rd Street in Jacksonville was cited for at least 50 live, small flying insects; an employee touching ready to-eat-food with their bare hands; and a wet wiping cloth not stored in sanitizing solution. The restaurant was temporarily closed.

At the Holiday Inn on Ponce de Leon Blvd. in St. Augustine, inspectors found three live roaches, three dead roaches and 28 live flying insects. It was temporarily closed.

AMC Theatres Orange Park 24 was cited for live, small flying insects; encrusted residue on soda nozzles; and the floor was soiled with an accumulation of debris.
