Published on April 9, 2026.
Albuquerque Environmental Health has issued a list of three businesses that have been red-tagged in its latest inspection. The Greenest food establishment received a passing grade and must follow a plan to correct violations. The Yellow establishment had major violations that presented an imminent hazard and required immediate downgrade or closure. The facility failed to meet the required parameters for food-contact surfaces and stored hazardous materials such as dead cockroaches. It also lacked a designated area for employees to eat, drink, or use tobacco products. The required food permit was not posted at the establishment and it had insufficient hot water, with restroom sinks only reaching 67 degrees. An employee returned to work without washing hands after smoking and handling outside items with gloves. The beverage dispenser in the bar lacked a drip cup, allowing waste liquid to drip onto surfaces below. The food establishment also failed to register a grade sticker from its most recent inspection.
