Score
Inspectors have visited Guaca-Mole 15 times, with records going back to 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Apr 6, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 19 violations to closer to 11 violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “ceiling/ceiling tiles/vents soiled”, showing up 10 times.
That's lower than the typical Miami restaurant, which scores around 74. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
