This week’s Clean Plate award goes to Helados La Azteca at 1412 North Valley Mills Drive in Waco.

The word “helados” in Spanish translates to ice cream in English, but this place has so much more than that.

It has “warm eats” like corn in a cup, churros, conchitas or breads, and Mexican candy.

There are two locations in Waco. Check them out.

The information used to produce the weekly KWTX “Restaurant Report Card” segments is gathered directly from the public records of regular inspections conducted by county health department officials in Central Texas.

KWTX does not determine what locations are inspected and does not assign the overall scores which are reflected in percentages. Any questions regarding the status of an inspection, reinspection, or the score reported should be directed to the individual county health departments in which those businesses are located.
