Garibaldi Restaurant on 6739 New HWY 90 W holds one of the oldest liquor licenses in the city, and this week the neighborhood favorite is nudging the record for most demerits in a city restaurant inspection.

To make the Express-News' weekly list of dirtiest eateries, an establishment must have 14 or more demerits during a random (surprise) city inspection. This week netted only three excessive offenders, but Garibaldi Restaurant, a repeat on this list, raked in 50 demerits — just shy of Dos Julios Mexican Restaurant's 51 demerits in one inception.

According to the inspector of Garibaldi's Restaurant, "a swarm of live roaches" were found inside a box of individually packed hot chocolate, and inside the soap dispenser at the employee handwashing sink, there were dead cockroaches instead of soap. Yes, there were dead roaches where there should have been hand soap. Cockroaches and handwashing aren't the only issue at Garibaldi's. The inspector noted "pooling sewage" on the floor near the food table — again. Like we said, this isn't the first time Garibaldi's has hit this list.

Also on this week's list is a past Readers' Choice pick: Camaron Pelado Seafood Grill. Among other things, there were cited for using a trash bin as a tabletop for a metal tray of shrimp.
