Score
Mariachi Chapin Restaurant appears in inspection records 11 times, starting in 2022. The most recent report on file is from Mar 4, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around five violations across recent inspections versus roughly 10 violations before.
Looking across the full record, “cutting board has cut marks and is no longer cleanable” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
Compared to other Miami restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
