Score

High Risk

Going back to 2022, Elio Cafeteria has five inspections in the public record. On Jul 30, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around 10 violations lately compared to roughly three violations before.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “no paper towels”, showing up two times.

That's lower than the typical Hialeah restaurant, which scores around 76. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
