Score
The health department has logged three inspections at Delicias De La Habana, the earliest from 2025. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 20, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

When inspectors have written things up, “no paper towels” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Hialeah restaurant, which scores around 76. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
