Score
Yayo Catracho appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 10, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to four violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “time/temperature control for safety food thawed”, which has been cited two times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Port St. Lucie restaurants. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
