Score
Rancho Mateo Steakhouse has been inspected 14 times since 2022. On Mar 11, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 25 violations each, up from closer to eight violations before.
“Time/temperature control for safety food cold held” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing seven times across the record.
Compared to other Miami restaurants (averaging 74), there's room to close the gap. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
