Score
Across the available record, El Taino Restaurant has 11 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 10, 2026. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around four violations per visit lately, up from roughly one violation before.
When inspectors have written things up, “equipment in poor repair” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
That's lower than the typical Jacksonville restaurant, which scores around 74. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
