Puddles of blood on the floor from raw meat. Walls covered in rodent droppings. Boxes of food filled with a “swarm of live roaches.”

Those are just a few examples of the worst conditions that San Antonio health inspectors found at local restaurants and food establishments this year.

From well-respected South Side cafes to a prominent meat market chain, and lingerie-clad servers at Milo's to Los Barrios family-owned Viola's Ventanas, 51 local restaurants had 30 or more demerits on a random health inspection in 2015.

The San Antonio Express-News examines hundreds of restaurant inspections each week conducted by the San Antonio Food and Environmental Health Services division to bring you the eateries with 14 or more demerits.

But some of the worst reports generated from these visits have up to 50 demerits.

Scores and demerits listed are only representative of the state of the restaurant at the time of inspection, but these reports are still valuable consumer information.
