Chalitas Tamales #1 currently scores below average compared to other restaurants in the county, outperforming only about a third of similar facilities. The facility showed a sharp deterioration in July 2025 when serious food safety violations emerged, including improper cooling procedures and unsafe chemical storage, but rebounded dramatically at the January 2026 inspection with only minor equipment maintenance issues noted. The most recent record suggests the facility has addressed its critical violations and appears to be moving in a positive direction, though its overall standing remains in the lower tier.
