High Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent report on file is from Oct 26, 2023. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 26, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 16 violations each, up from closer to nine violations before.

“No hot running water at three-compartment sink” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

The city-wide average sits at 79, which Dios Mio's 22 doesn't quite reach. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
