58
Score
Going back to 2022, Antojitos Mexicanos of Florida has 18 inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 23, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to two violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “dead roaches on premises” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Antojitos Mexicanos of Florida's latest score of 58 falls below the Clearwater average of 79. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
