Last inspected: Mar 5, 2026
55
Score
La Prepa-Go appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2022. On Mar 5, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to nine violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “operating with an expired division of hotels”, which has been cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Miami restaurant, which scores around 74. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
