Score
Across the available record, Panaderia Colombiana Mi Cali has 11 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 21, 2026. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near 15 violations each time.
When inspectors have written things up, “no handwashing sign provided at a hand sink used” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Compared to the broader Hialeah restaurant scene, where the average is 76, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
