Score
High Risk

Going back to 2022, Mercy Cafeteria has three inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 9, 2023. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 9, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around nine violations lately compared to roughly two violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “cutting board has cut marks and is no longer cleanable”, which has been cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Miami restaurant, which scores around 74. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
