Low Risk

Cucharita has been inspected four times since 2024. The most recent visit was on Oct 5, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.

The pattern that stands out is “refrigerated storage”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to other Houston restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
