A Buford restaurant failed its third health inspection conducted by the Georgia Department of Health in less than a three-month span. Pimenton Parrilla at 1570 Buford Highway N.E. received a score of 64 U on a follow-up inspection on Wednesday, May 25, 2022.
The inspection on May 25 was a mandatory follow-up inspection because the restaurant failed its previous inspection conducted May 18, 2022, with a score of 50 U. Prior to that, Pimenton Parrilla failed another inspection on March 9, 2022, with a score of 41 U but later passed its follow-up inspection on March 16. Pimenton Parrilla scored a 94 A on that visit.
On the most recent inspection on May 25, Pimenton Parrilla was cited for not having designated a person in charge and not having written procedures. Other violations included an employee wearing single-use gloves for more than one task, food being improperly stored, sauce bottles not labeled, using raw wood shelves in places where food was being stored and a lid on a prep cooler in disrepair.
Pimenton Parrilla received violations in regard to how employees were cleaning dishes and the storage of the clean dishes. An employee was washing dishes in a sink with no sanitizer solution. The inspector found employees stacking clean dishes while they were wet, which is also a violation. They must be stacked away fully dry.
