Score
The health department has logged eight inspections at Restaurante La Comida De La Abuela, the earliest from 2024. On Feb 18, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly four violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “food stored on floor” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to other Bradenton restaurants (averaging 83), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
