Score
Public records show nine inspections at South Beach Munchies stretching back to 2022. On Mar 11, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “employee failed to wash hands before putting on gloves”, which has been cited four times.
That's lower than the typical Miami Beach restaurant, which scores around 70. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
