Fulton County restaurants that failed their health inspection in August
What’s considered failing?
Failing scores change from one health inspector to the next but the industry standard is that anything below a 70 (out of 100) is failing, according to April Majors, public information officer for the Fulton County Environmental Health Services Department.
With out further ado, here’s a list of Fulton County restaurants that failed their health inspection in August– Bon appétit!

Wow, Prickly Pear Taqueria doesn’t seem to want to fix any of their problems. Quite a few of their points lost were due to repeat violations. Glad I’ve never eaten there or it’s sibling restaurant next door.
I think I’m going to throw up. I just ate at Prickly Pear last night. Fingers crossed for no food poisoning! I guess I don’t understand how all this works though. To me a score of 29 should mean – YOUR DOORS CLOSE NOW! Just seems so odd…
Caleb: how do you search for this information on the gov’t website? I have never been able to make it work. Do you simply search for anything below a 70?
hi jeff — go here (http://ga.state.gegov.com/georgia/search.cfm?county=Fulton) to search fulton county. on the right-hand sidebar, select “search by grade” and select “u.” that will pull up all the restaurants that scored 70 or less in the left-hand column.
you can also specify the date by selecting “use date” in the right-hand sidebar. please let me know if you have any other questions.

Prickly Pear is my local Mexican place. I go there a couple times a month. Their food can swing wildly in quality. I have felt like ass the next day from eating there.
I mostly go there for their Cadillac Margaritas. It’s pretty much a glass of tequila. It will destroy your face.
… and alcohol is a pretty good sanitizer.
Ate once at the Pear, shortly after it opened. Never went back, it sucked so hard.
