During a routine inspection on March 12, Mariscos Los Corales was cited with four major health violations, including one for cockroach infestation, and nine minor health violations. According to the health report, inspectors found "numerous German cockroaches of different life stages on the walls and floor next to the 3-door reach-in cooler," among other signs of cockroaches.

Mariscos Los Corales was later allowed to reopen after a follow-up inspection.
