Score
The health department has logged 13 inspections at Rolando Taco's, the earliest from 2014. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 11, 2023. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 11, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Adequate handwashing sinks properly supplied and accessible” comes up most often, recorded eight times in the inspection record.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Rolando Taco's 70 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
