Low Risk

The health department has logged four inspections at Salata, the earliest from 2024. On Sep 14, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly four violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature controlled for safety (TCS) food” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Houston restaurants. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
