Score
Going back to 2023, Huevos has nine inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 27, 2026. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to nine violations per visit.
“Time/temperature control for safety food” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
Compared to other St. Petersburg restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
