Score
Tutos appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 31, 2023. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 31, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 15 violations to closer to seven violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “ceiling/ceiling tile shows damage or is in disrepair”, showing up three times.
That's lower than the typical Hialeah restaurant, which scores around 76. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
