Azteca Corner Store in Labelle
Last inspected:
780 W Cowboy Way, Labelle, FL 33935Azteca Corner Store in LaBelle has operated as a Risk Level 2 food service establishment for 12 seats. Across 21 inspections dating to at least 2016, the facility recorded 96 total violations, averaging 4.6 per inspection—slightly below the statewide average of 5.2. The facility has not experienced any emergency closures or formal disciplinary actions on record.
The most significant enforcement event occurred in April 2023, when the facility received 7 violations including a high-priority finding that hot-held Spanish rice in the deli area was measured at 108°F, below the required 135°F minimum for time/temperature control for safety foods. The rice was reheated to proper temperature and released during the inspection. The same visit also documented that the person in charge lacked knowledge of foodborne illnesses and reporting policy, and the facility had no written procedures for cleaning bodily fluids—deficiencies addressed through consultation and provision of employee health and ware washing handouts.
Recent inspection activity shows significant improvement. The facility has completed four consecutive inspections from October 2022 through April 2026 with zero violations cited. The most recent inspection on April 3, 2026 was conducted as a focused routine offsite inspection with lab results provided and no violations identified.
