Score
Going back to 2022, Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine has 11 inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 10, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 20 violations to closer to eight violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surface soiled with food debris”, which has been cited eight times.
Restaurants in Doral average 73, so Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
