Inspection summary

Las Pupusas #5 has been inspected 20 times by Southern Nevada Health District since October 5, 2020. The most recent inspection, on August 12, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

2 of 20 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 4 inspections with 23 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control, Chemicals and toxic substances and Protecting food from contamination.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 15 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: TCS food properly cooled.

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

    Recorded 12 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2025. For example: Chemicals properly identified, stored, and used.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 11 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on November 25, 2024. For example: Food protected from potential contamination by employees and consumers.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: Ware washing facilities maintained. Wiping cloths properly stored; test strips available.

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 29, 2026. For example: Grade card posted conspicuously. Consumer advisory as required.
