Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Sep 25, 2023. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 25, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around seven violations per visit versus roughly three violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “no all employees have proof provided”, which has been cited two times.

Paleteria La Michoacanita's latest score of 64 falls below the Okeechobee average of 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
