A viral story last week detailing how a rattlesnake slithered up a North Texas home’s toilet proved that plumbing problems can result in shocking situations.
That’s the story at a North Side meat market asked to “intensify efforts” to “treat” pests near its kitchen draining system, according to its report.
La Michoacana Meat Market at 4523 Blanco Road received demerits when an inspector noticed drain flies and gnats “coming from the floor drain in bakery area” underneath a three-compartment sink.
The establishment was one of 25 restaurants, bars and markets around San Antonio to make this week’s dirty list.
To make the Express-News’ list of dirtiest restaurants, an establishment must earn a score of 89 or below — or anything less than an “A” — during a random city health inspection.
Other wild violations include misplaced “bloody raw meat” at Teresita’s Mexican Restaurant at 901 N. New Braunfels, “black mold-like residue” in the ice machine at Mash’d at 17623 La Cantera Pkwy. and a trash bag used for food storage at Panaderia La Concha at 507 S. Gen McMullen.
Get all the highlights from this week’s dirtiest restaurant list in the slideshow above.

The San Antonio Express-News examines hundreds of restaurant inspections each week conducted by the San Antonio Food and Environmental Health Services division to bring you the eateries with scores of 89 or below.
Restaurants are graded on a 100-point system, where “100” is a perfect score, and demerits are based upon the number of violations found during a regular food establishment inspection. There are three categories of demerits and each are assigned a demerit score of 3, 2 or 1 points, according to the health division.
Scores and demerits listed are only representative of the state of the restaurant at the time of inspection and are surveyed at random.
