Score
Going back to 2022, Sr Tequila has 16 inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Mar 24, 2026. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 15 violations to closer to 10 violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surface soiled with food debris”, which has been cited nine times.
The city-wide average sits at 68, which Sr Tequila's 14 doesn't quite reach. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
