From April 9 through April 15, Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District inspectors found small roaches, food stored on the floor and other health violations at restaurants.
Out of more than 20 businesses inspected, five scored below a 95, and 13 received perfect scores. During the seven days, China Bear Restaurant on Leopard Street and Janet’s Cakery on Everhart Road scored the lowest with 90s.
