Going back to 2023, Paseo Catracho has nine inspections in the public record. Paseo Catracho was last inspected on Dec 4, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 12 violations to closer to six violations per visit over the last few inspections.
“Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Miami restaurant, which scores around 74. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
