ATLANTA — The restaurant has since been re-inspected and got a 92.
A Mexican restaurant that has called Atlanta home for years has failed a health inspection.
Jalisco Mexican Restaurant on Peachtree Street in Buckhead received a score of 58 out of 100 on Aug. 23.
The restaurant, in the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center, has been around for nearly 40 years.
Some of the violations were: cold food, including guacamole, not held cold enough; a black bug with wings in the front food service area and a bag of onions stored in the mop bucket.

Manager Jaime Coronado says they have always done things that are supposed to be done according to the rules. He says sometimes it’s not a good day and it can happen to anyone.
The restaurant didn’t try to hide its failing health inspection score as some restaurants do. The 58 was posted on the wall so customers could see it at the front.
Coronado says there are some new inspection rules they weren’t up to date on. He says they’ve made corrections and are receiving retraining from the Fulton County Health Department.
Customer Lisa Garrett says she’s been going there about once a week for 17 years. She says she and her family will still go to Jalisco because, she says, they’ve had good experiences there.
