Restaurant inspections: Cockroach infestation closes Palm Springs spot; 2 eateries earn ‘B’

A Palm Springs restaurant was shut down by Riverside County health inspectors due to an active cockroach infestation, according to reports conducted April 25 through May 1.

An inspector observed several live cockroaches at Monsoon Indian Restaurant during a recent inspection, leading to the facility closure. The restaurant also had issues with hot and cold food holding temperatures, as well as other minor violations.

La Sorpresa in Coachella and Porta Via Palm Desert in Palm Desert also had a number of minor violations which led to their “B” grades.

All three restaurants will have an opportunity to raise their scores, and Monsoon Indian Restaurant’s instance reopen, when inspectors return to reinspect their facilities in one week.

Major violations pose an imminent risk to public health and warrant the immediate closure of a food facility or immediate correction, while minor violations do not pose an imminent public health risk, but do warrant correction.
