Score
Public records show 17 inspections at Fiesta Azul Tequila House stretching back to 2022. On Mar 20, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 13 violations compared to roughly 16 violations earlier on.
Looking across the full record, “standing water in bottom of reach-in-cooler” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
That's lower than the typical Melbourne restaurant, which scores around 84. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
