Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 15, 2016. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The most recent inspection at Braseritos Norte Restaurant is from Aug 15, 2016, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around five violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 81, which Braseritos Norte Restaurant's 78 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
