Low Risk

The health department has logged 15 inspections at Tortilleria Gallo De Oro, the earliest from 2022. On Mar 9, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “no paper towels” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to the broader Stuart restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
