High Risk

Going back to 2022, Aromas Del Peru has nine inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 26, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around six violations to closer to 10 violations.

The pattern that stands out is “bowl or other container with no handle used to dispense food”, which has been cited three times.

Compared to other Miami restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
