Score

Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 21, 2023. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. Public records show no inspections at El Churrascaso Grill Tampa since Mar 21, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

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

Compared to other Tampa restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
