COOL BEANS: Inspectors ding taco spot

Looking for a good meal between NFL games today? Maricopa restaurants again came away with a near-spotless report card, according to this latest restaurant inspection report from the Pinal County Health Department.  

Health inspectors visited seven eateries in Maricopa from Sept. 7 to Sept. 28 and dinged just one with violations after cooked beans weren’t adequately cooled. 

This report has one fewer “satisfactory” rating than our previous report that spanned Aug. 18 to Sept. 6.
