Score
La Brasa Grill appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Jan 28, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around five violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.
“Cooked/heated time/temperature control” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
Compared to other Lake Worth restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
