La Bodega Restaurant appears in inspection records 13 times, starting in 2022. On Feb 27, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around 17 violations to closer to 27 violations.
“Observed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing five times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Miami restaurant, which scores around 74. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
