Another top performer restaurant has fallen from grace after scoring a high number of demerits on a health inspection report. 

New York Deli II in Harlingen is a low performer.  The restaurant scored 26 demerits. 

An inspector noted there were roaches throughout the establishment and rodent droppings in the storage area. 

The Food Patrol questioned the violations, but a worker dished out straight up “sass” rather than straight answers.
