From April 2 through April 8, Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District inspectors found baby roaches in a kitchen, mold in an ice machine and other health violations at restaurants.
Out of more than 20 businesses inspected, three scored below a 95, and 10 received perfect scores. During the seven days, Cancun Mexican Restaurant on Yorktown Boulevard scored the lowest with an 82.

Inspections are based on a demerit system in accordance with the Texas Department of State Health Services. The inspection report checks for 47 different violations.
