Score
The health department has logged three inspections at Del Fuego, the earliest from 2023. The most recent visit was on Jan 4, 2024. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 4, 2024, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The city-wide average sits at 71, which Del Fuego's 67 doesn't quite reach. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
