Score
Across the available record, Siboney Cuban Cuisine has 16 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The most recent report on file is from Nov 7, 2017. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Siboney Cuban Cuisine's record stops at Nov 7, 2017, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited 12 times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Siboney Cuban Cuisine's 78 doesn't quite reach. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
