Score
Tienda Mexicana Maranata appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 15, 2026. 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 “nonfood-grade bags used in direct contact with food”, which has been cited three times.
Compared to other Panama City restaurants (averaging 83), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
