37007 Lock St, Dade City, FL 33523Neftali's Tacos USA in Dade City has been inspected twice on record, most recently on July 17, 2024, with a combined 19 violations documented. The facility received 6 violations in the July 2024 inspection and 13 violations in March 2023, averaging 9.5 violations per inspection — significantly higher than the Florida statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations have centered on cross-contamination involving raw animal food stored directly above ready-to-eat items. In March 2023, raw shell eggs were stored over produce in the kitchen, and raw bacon was stored over milk and eggs in the retail area; corrective actions were completed on site. The same violation recurred in July 2024 when raw bacon was again found stored directly above ready-to-eat food in the retail cooler, corrected immediately by the owner. Additional high-priority findings included toxic materials (degraser containers) stored above frozen foods in March 2023, corrected on site, and unprotected self-service sugar cane cones, also corrected during that inspection. Intermediate-priority violations included documented gaps in employee health reporting requirements (both inspections), missing written procedures for vomiting and diarrheal event response (July 2024), and unclean food-contact surfaces such as tongs with food debris buildup (March 2023). Both inspections were closed with "Met Inspection Requirements" disposition.
