Macitas Restaurant has been inspected 17 times since 2022. The most recent report on file is from Jan 21, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around 12 violations to closer to 18 violations.
“Working containers of food removed” comes up most often, recorded five times in the inspection record.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Miami restaurant scores 74. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
