Low Risk

The health department has logged six inspections at Supermercado Teloloapan, the earliest from 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Sep 24, 2025. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around six violations to closer to 11 violations.

When inspectors have written things up, “applicability of article” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Houston restaurants. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
