2 businesses shut, rodents & roaches found in latest Fort Worth health inspections

Two Fort Worth food establishments were closed, and three others had issues with rodents or roaches, during the latest round of city health inspections, according to the inspection report.

The report compiled by the Star-Telegram contains data from Nov. 16 through Nov. 29 and 191 inspections.

Fort Worth’s restaurant inspections function on a demerit system: Zero demerits is considered a perfect score. Restaurants with over 30 demerits are required to fix the worst issues immediately and remedy the rest within 48 hours.

Two establishments were closed because of serious health violations:

Little Inspirers Montessori, 3312 Park Lake Drive, had a score of 4. The location’s kitchen was closed because of a lack of working hot water in the sinks. The childcare facility does not currently have any children enrolled, according to the inspection report.

Y&H Stop N Save, 2912 Vaughn Blvd., had a score of 25. The location was closed because of issues with sink drainage, an improperly charged fire extinguisher, and issues with freezer holding temperatures.

Three establishments had issues with rodents or roaches:

Kreative Kids Preparatory Academy, 1312 Sycamore School Road, had a score of 4. Inspectors observed rodent droppings underneath a handwashing sink.

Ashims Hibachi Grill, 424 Taylor St., had a score of 22. Inspectors found a live roach in the dishwashing room and a dead roach behind the grill in a puddle of grease.

Taqueria Nuevo Leon, 1544 Ellis Ave., had a score of 18. Inspectors found a dead roach in the women’s bathroom.

Here are the inspection scores and violations for restaurants within the city limits of Fort Worth for Nov. 16th- Nov. 29th 2025. Scores are based on a demerit system. When the total exceeds 30, the restaurant must take immediate corrective action on all identified critical violations, then has 48 hours to initiate corrective action on all other violations.
