10
Score
Going back to 2022, La Brasa Kendall has 12 inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 9, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around 31 violations per visit versus roughly 25 violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “handwash sink used for purposes other than handwashing”, which has been cited five 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.
