Chalitas Tamales #1 scores in the lower tier, performing worse than 68% of comparable restaurants. The facility has shown an erratic inspection pattern marked by a sharp spike in violations during July 2025, when improper cooling procedures and toxic substance handling emerged as major concerns, followed by a dramatic improvement in January 2026 but a return to high-risk violations in October 2026. Inadequate hand washing facilities plagued inspections through 2023, and food worker certification and toxic substance management issues have recurred across multiple years, suggesting persistent compliance challenges in critical food safety areas.
