High Risk

Across the available record, Antigua Guatemala has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 10, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 13 violations to closer to 10 violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “accumulation of debris inside warewashing machine”, showing up three times.

Compared to other Miami restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
