Score

Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Feb 6, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The most recent inspection at Capital Tacos is from Feb 6, 2023, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly four violations before.

Compared to other New Port Richey restaurants (averaging 78), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
