Las Casitas has been inspected seven times since 2022. On Oct 10, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.

That's lower than the typical Orlando restaurant, which scores around 79. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
