Score
Peruvian Ceviches +Bar has been inspected 10 times since 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 14, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around 12 violations to closer to 31 violations per visit.
Across the inspection history, “equipment in poor repair” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded five times.
Restaurants in Palmetto Bay average 63, so Peruvian Ceviches +Bar trails the local norm. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
