Score
The health department has logged 13 inspections at Mojos Mainland, the earliest from 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 17, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “outer openings not protected with self-closing doors” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Compared to the broader St. Augustine restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
